not exactl sure where this belongs so I'm going to put it here since this is where I post the most. here's the deal... I'm my new med now. 300mg a day of bupropion (welbutrin)" I have more enrgy and more desire to do things. I can smile genuinely and enjoy things. this is a major step for me. however, my anxiety is taking hold. It is as if my depression was supressing my colapse into my anxieties. I'm startled and put off by everything. I always feel like everyone is staring at me and following me... worst of all, the whispers I use to hear in my head are back again. My dearest Alex Joe (that's what I named her) is my sickest inception. she is my best friend and my protector one moment and then my commander and murderer, my homicidal thoughts. she talks to me all the time interrupting my peaceful times with violence. My SI is usually brought on by my trying to exsume her and her telling me I can't. I want her out of me!!! I'm more aggitated and volitale.... I don't know if this is the meds or if it's just uncovered things that use to happen all thw time. like I said, I feel like the depth of my depression weighed this all down to the point where I stopped fuctioning even there.

Insightful and very possibly accurate! One of the reasons the initial stages of antidepressant therapy need close following is the possibility the drugs really will help the patient feel and function better, and thus enable him or her to act on urges to self-harm, urges the more deeply depressed individual might not have had the energy to actualize.

Yes, this is something you should take up with your doctors. Relieving the depression may allow anxieties to surface. Please take care.

It sounds like you may have some aspects of schizophrenia. I would imagine it is hard to deal with hearing voices and it seems to be distressing you. Perhaps you should tell your Therapist about this.

-feeling like people are staring at you and talking about you is paranoia
-Whispers/voices
