hi... i haven't posted here before...but i really need some advice... i have ptsd... panic attacks and i si (it's been over a month)...i had a pretty hard t appointment tonight and i left not very happy... i had a pretty severe reaction to the generic wellbutrine about 6 months ago... the insurance company switched it because my doctor didn't specify name-brand only and i couldn't afford to repurchase the prescription so i tried it... it caused my anxiety to go through the roof and i couldn't focus at all... when they switched me back to the name brand it got a little better but i had a constant head ache and a shaky feeling and i felt like my brain was in a fog... so i tapered off and figured i would tell my med doc when i saw him in march... i really was feeling better...my brain is clearer... and even though i had more panic attacks the intensity was much less and i was able to get grounded pretty quickly...the shaky feeling was almost gone...well i just got blasted with a major crisis and it triggered my panic attacks and anxiety... i am afraid to go to sleep for fear that i will wake up out of control... my t tonight asked me about my meds and i told him what i did...needless to say he is really unhappy with me and expects me to call my doctor tomorrow and scedule an appointment...and not wait till march...i really don't want to go back on medication... i just was on lexapro but i was gaining weight...and i had just lost 130 lbs... so that was a real issue...i have xanax but have only taken that a couple times after really bad panic attacks... it made me feel so numb i couldn't really see the difference from that and when i cut... they both send me to the same place......i am not even sure what my question is...thank you....lyn
