I seem to have more of a problem with the long weekend holidays than I do Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. It seems like everyone else is out of town with their families or significant others.

I've even had people ask me to do a couple of things, but I don't feel like doing anything. How's that for not solving the problem?

I just stopped a 90 mg. Cymbalta dosage due to side effects. Weaned off and on to Wellbutrin very quickly (5 days per pdoc) two weeks ago.

At first, I felt a burst of energy with the Wellbutrin, as I had felt like a zombie before. I had to back the dosage of the Wellbutrin to 150 mg. per day (is that a small dose) due to stomach issues. I am realizing today that the deep dark pit of depression is back.

I lost both parents last year (I'm 37 and an only child). And my long-time boyfriend (8 years) left me in 2005 for another woman (who he married - go figure?!). I quit my job earlier this year, not realizing how hard it is to find another job. That feels like a struggle too.

My house is a mess - disaster zone. I just feel like I am down in a well with no ladder - I try to pull myself up and keep sliding down.

I'm having the stomach issues even with the 150 mg. - I'm wondering if I should take the 300 mg. anyway.

Is there an emergency line to your pdoc - to discuss wellbutrin.

I've taken up to 450 mg - stomach is a tank though...

Sounds like a lot is going on - did you want to talke about one of them?
