I don't know if there is a special board for meds or not, I couldn't find it.

I had posted that Wellbutrin was giving me stomach issues. After three weeks, I finally got over it. Switched from Cymbalta (hated side effects - Wellbutrin has less) about a month ago.

Deep dark depression started creeping up on Sunday/Monday, even though I was busy. Now I haven't slept for two days (I used to have insomnia back before SSRI meds and anxiety - I just forgot about it.)

The not sleeping is awful - I am exhausted and cannot do anything, yet my body is completely awake. Then, last night during my movie marathon (can't concentrate to read or do anything), I started itching, BAD. Finally took Benadryl - helped after a couple of hours.

Had appt. with pdoc anyway today, but called this morning and said there is no way I can drive without sleep for two days (I also take Klonopin and Neurontin in the evenings, so I am having the effects of them without sleeping). He is supposed to call me back, but I have not heard from him yet.

Does it sound like Wellbutrin and I just don't get along? It's sad, because I love it without the side effects, but the depression is worse than the side effects, I guess. Either way blows.
