almost set

So I have found a pdoc. I have found a tdoc. The pdoc has listened both times on needing added meds. So I am on lamictal ativan and just today welbutrin. The tdoc was really nice for the first session. She talked to th pdoc about adding the ad for me. I know I'm no where near being at my best and at a stable point but I feel like I've made a good start. Things are in place. The ball is rolling. I'm on a new path toward wellbeing. At least I hope. I'm feeling numb right now. The depression has been abot 2 wks that's usually about the switch over so I don't know if this ad is even necessary if I'm just gonna flip to manic. But I'll take it anyway and see what happens. Just see.

Fingers crossed for you, hun!

I'm glad for you that you have an A-D now. Be careful on Wellbutrin. When I started it I felt aggressive and impulsive, but this will pass after a couple of weeks. Just try not to do anything too dangerous, such as making blind passes on 2 way traffic highways (which I did). Maybe try not to do anything but on surface streets at low speed. Don't go shopping, etc. She says this while in the midst of mania!

But I'm not sure what's making me super hyper manic. I'm a little worried, but enjoying it.

I think it might be combo of all 3, because I've been on WB for a year, so it couldn't be that in the past 3 days. Has to be Abilify being added to the others.

Sorry to rant. I have hope and wish you luck.

Thanks so far my mind feels a ltl strange. Having started lamictal 2 weeks ago and welbutrin 2 days ago. I'm not sure what's going on in there but I'm not sure I like it. If it helps then I guess I will but if it just makes me feel strange what's the point at least when I'm going through the ups and downs I feel normal. If that makes sense. I'm still pretty low but hey 2 days isn't enough to do anything.

Yeah, I was impatient too in the beginning. It's extremely annoying when you are incredibly depressed and all they say is, "Give it time," but it really is true. Wish I had better news. If after a couple of weeks of it doing nothing or worse than nothing, they might switch you to something else.

Crossing my fingers that one or both of them will work for you.

How are things going, bridgie? Does your mind still feel strange? If you are concerned, you can call your pdoc and tell him/her the sensation and see if it is something normal that will pass, or if it is a dangerous symptom and you should stop the med.

I'm not sure. My focus is off. Brain feels kind of fuzzy. I think if I don't go anywhere I'll be fine. Maybe I just need to relax more. I think I've been forgetting things but that cld be the depression. I'll give it a cpl more days. Pdoc apt on friday can go over it then

Today I feel like such a drone. Going through the motions. Feeling like I want to cry but it won't come out and I don't want it to come out where people can see. I want to go back to being perky and friendly and for the most part happy. I feel as if this funk is going to last forever. I feel sick to my stomach and lack energy but if I want energy I need to eat. I don't want to eat. I want to smile today they don't come naturally. Its forced. There is a tightness in the pit of my stomach. My heart aches it is so heavy. I notice everything going on around me which is strange since I feel like my brain is going in slow motion.

Hey again Bridgie. I get forgetful too...even so silly as not knowing why I went into a room (what I was trying to get) and then realizing what it was and that I'm in the wrong room to get it! Haha.

Sorry you're feeling sick and unable to eat. May be a med side effect. Wellbutrin decreased my appetite but I don't remember stomach aches. They're pretty common with many meds though...esp ones that say "take with food" because you get nauseous or upset stomach if you don't eat something with them.

Hope you get some relief soon. Sounds awful

Hugs
