Hi everyone,

I'm just here to say that I am still alive and well. My meds are still working great and I have been generally depression-free. Distracted because I stopped taking the Wellbutrin, but otherwise excellent.

How are all of you doing?

Glad to hear that you guys are doing well. I've missed all of you too.

Hamster, I don't really know why I went off of wellbutrin...I just sorta kinda stopped taking it one day. (bad idea, I know) Maybe subconsciously I knew that my depression was getting better and decided that I could deal with life without it. Anyway, thankfully I remained in remission from my bipolar symptoms, but I got really distracted without it. I talked to my pdoc awhile ago, and I've restarted it, but now I'm on a really low dose until my body readjusts to it (150 mg). Overall, it's a good drug. With tegretol or abilify it helped my depression significantly, but it did not cure it. Life was still pretty "blah" before I encountered Symbyax. It's worth trying, though, especially if you have ADHD/attentional issues. Let me know if you decide to try it and how you like it!
