Well, starting yesterday I started feeling more tired and now I feel like I am back at square one with depression. Can't concentrate, no interest in anything, feel flat, really tired and hopeless. I couldn't even bring myself to take out the trash. It's like emotional whiplash. I know I increased the dose less than a week ago so maybe I am getting used to it still. Or maybe this is a placebo effect thing, but I tend to have effects from meds pretty quickly. My psychiatrist said to call if I feel off so maybe I will.

On a positive note, while feeling better I took a lovely hike and saw some autumn leaves and pretty lake. Also caught up with a friend from a distance and carved pumpkins.

Hope you are all doing well. I'll try to catch up soon.
Hey, YF. Been on Wellbutrin mostly since 2007. I have never experienced what you describe. Might want to check in with that pdoc maybe.
