Sorry if this has been asked before, but I don't have the luxury of waiting 4-6 weeks... I must keep this job! I have been on bupropion 300mg xr for only 5 days. The only positive is that I am not cycling to super-mania like usual.

Any one?

Can your pdoc put you on a medical leave?

My aunt is a pdoc and I just saw her this morning. That is exactly what she recommended- 72 hour respite. I can afford that, but not much more. I don't have any benefits in this job. My pdoc has yet to call back, should be pretty soon.

Hope that means that you have time to get some peace.

Pdoc just called in Ativan. We shall see!

I hope your meds kick in soon .. The Ativan should be helpful. Mindfulness and grounding skills cab help also.

I hope you find some relief .

Thank you Christina, going to pick up the scrip in a couple of hours... hope it helps The mindfulness aspect is so hard while the mind is so dark and dull but I do try! Thank you for the encouragement

The Ativan was a disaster! Moody as heck and absolutely NO short term memory... or any memory at all

On a positive note, however, the bupropion and prozac are starting to take effect, as I am more stable and my mood much brighter. All I had to do was hang on for another week.

Hope y'all are doing good, too
