Pdoc took me off Wellbutin XL 150 mg last Thursday. Actually, Friday would have been my first day without it since it is a morning med.

Got through Friday, was so tired yesterday, I slept 11 hours and was ready to go back to bed as soon as we got home from a fall celebration around 9 PM.

This morning, I got through the morning with coffee and Adderall, but now the Adderall is wearing off, and I am exhausted. And I was still obviously tired in the morning because I was thinking my coffee wasn't that sweet though there were 2 packets from sweetner in the trash. And then, I was thinking as I finished my water, that my water was very sweet. Pretty sure I dumped the sweetner into the water and just creamer in the coffee

This afternoon, I am exhausted. I don't know how I am going to make it 2 more weeks until my next appointment. It may not all be stopping the Wellbutrin as I also have a fibro flare, and the fall celebration we went to included a night hike through the woods and prairie grasses, lots of which cause issues with outdoor allergies.

Maybe I've been less forgetful? Hard to figure out when I'm so tired. If it doesn't start improving, I will have to call the pdoc. I don't know if I want to be on Wellbutrin necessarily, but I do think I might need an AD as my mood is not doing that great lately. I have done OK on the ADs I took in the past (with monitoring because otherwise I'd end up manic on the SSRIs); the only AD that did not help me was Remeron. It could have helped the depression, I guess, but it made me so hungry and lazy and gaining weight uncontrollably, that it just turned me to trying bulimic tricks and then just tossing the pills. I never, ever felt full on that stuff, and I feel it is important for a person with an ED to know when they are full.

This coming week is super busy every day. Halloween stuff tomorrow at the high school, then actual Halloween, not to mention early choir practice Nov. 1 along with a Latin heritage dance my daughter will be in (we are not Hispanic), but the kids in the dual language classes do a dance from a Spanish speaking country (or territory in the case of Puerto Rico), the late book fair parents can attend, a project my daughter has due on Friday.and is procrastinating on. God, get me through this next week.

If I am still having it hard by Halloween, I think I will give the pdoc a call. What good is better memory, if I'm so tired, I'm pouring Sweet 'n Low into my water?
