I don't get the problem with welbutrin tho. I was first started on*zoloft. At first it was ok because it sent me straight into anhedonia, which was a relief. But I couldn't function like that. Switching to welbutrin was MUCH better. But when I was eventually put on lamictal... that was best of all. If the next one gives you grief about welbutrin, ask about lamictal. It is becoming a go-to med for depression because even tho its original purpose was as an anti-epileptic, it has become famous for how effective it is in treating depression .

Yeah, my last on had me on 50 mg of vyvanse which is essentially adderall. I still have left overs of them, but want a much smaller dose since I have no tolerance. I do think he was kinda implying I'm a drug addict and don't need these meds but didn't even have the balls to say that to me. Didn't even want to explore a reasonable alternative with me! I'm still shocked. I mean, I also fire clients but only when they don't pay ever or when they are very very crazy... I can't imagine why a psychiatrist would fire me. I'm crazy light. Lol! I pay his bill. I would have considered swapping the adderall for something else... But to tell me to stop taking a med that's working for my depression... Wtf!
