Im an extremely exhausted. I've had to just stay off the bupropion the tremors were getting worse not better. Sorta bummed about it but I went to see the neurologist and he seemed surprised the psychiatrist was okay with trying that. its common in the US but he said it as if its not commonly used in Germany. I didn't feel like explaining how Ive tried just about every o there antidepressant out there.

So my EEG was nice and clear- I wasnt expecting seizures so that was good but he told me to hold off starting a mood stabalizer because some of my other symptoms I've struggled with could also be MS. So I have to wait two + more weeks for the MRI plus reading results now to rule that out too. I do know I have some odd symptoms outside of bipolar but I have to hope I don't have that that would be awful.

I told him a lot of my weird sysmptoms can be explained by my back, I have a lot of spine issues, osteoarthritis, disks that like to buldge, torn ligaments, advanced degeneration and moderate stenosis, lumbar scoliosis, etc. There is a lot wrong with my back to explain sometimes getting a numb leg or tingling in my hand and feet and pain. But I guess it cant hurt to rule MS out all it does is ramp up my anxiety and makes me need to wait for medication. =/

*****SOOOOOOOO TIRED*******
I’m sorry the bupropion didn’t work out for you. Does your pdoc have anything else in mind? Sounds like you’ve tried a lot of things.

Fingers crossed that you have good test results and that it is not MS. I am sorry to hear about your back issues though.

I hope you get some much needed rest.
