And of course I said it was helping because the Bupropion made me euphoric, high and less sleepy--I remember drinking more after being prescribed this. The xanax helped counteract the excess energy it provided. Whenever I wanted more, all I had to do was ask. It wasn't a confidence problem with me--I just didn't think to worry about whether or not it could have a down side as well. I am sorry your experiences with psych docs have been so painful (and I recall that their attitude toward you was terrible )
