Hi there.

I forgot to mention in my introduction that I have been battling depression since I was a teenager. Never took drugs until I got into my 30s and by then I could add PMDD to my list of issues.

I was last on Prozac and stopped taking them after about a year, because the doctor I had was annoying and I moved to a different city. Prozac and I got along fine. Funny thing is, I have done pretty well up until now. No more PMDD symptoms. It is like the Prozac helped me get adjusted, or my body just changed.

So 4 years later, the symptoms I am experiencing now are different. Whereas before, with the PMDD I felt like I was moving and reacting from behind a veil (an evil veil), this time I feel EVERYTHING too much- ANGER, ANXIETY, TRAPPED, HOPELESSNESS, SADNESS . . .

The closest psychiatrist to where I live will not be available until mid-August for an appointment. My General doctor just wrote me a prescription for Welbutrin and Klonopin.

How did these drugs effect you?

I'm sorry your are having trouble again.

I had very good luck when I took Welbutrin. I was on it for a long time before it quite working. I take klonopin now and find that it really helps my anxiety. I've read a lot of stories about how it's hard to get off of but I was able to wean myself off for six months with no withdrawal symptoms. I only went back on it recently as I've had a recurrence in my depression and anxiety.

no experience with those drugs but just wanted to say hi and hugs. recently switched to luvox and something to help me sleep but there was some confusion and haven't been able to pick it up yet. starting new meds is daunting good luck
