Well, new to me anyway. I got Welbutrin, Ambien, and some kind of mood stablizer. He told me what it was, but I had never heard of it before.

They all make me feel drugged, but I know I have to get used to them. I know that will take time.

I also quit smoking, I want a cig SO BAD! I've gone 3 days without one. Now I get lightheaded, but I guess that's better than paying for cancer.

Nothing is really new with me, other than that. Not physically anyway.

I believe the Welbutrin should help with the cig cravings, I'm pretty sure it's the one that helps with it, although it might be that it makes cigs taste gross, so you don't want them anymore. Congrats on that decision, btw. Welbutrin is a good drug, but do watch out for initial hazardous side effects, when going on/off or changing this type of drug your emotions can be thrown off until your body adjusts, which can cause suicidality. But as long as you're aware of that you can keep yourself safe and accountable.
The Ambien is likely making you feel doped - it's also prescribed for sleep. If you're not taking it at night, try asking your doctor about switching it to then. Also, smoking is a stimulant, so without that stimulant you may be feeling less stimulated than what you're used to.
Lithobid/Eskalith/Lithium? Seroquel (another sleepy one)? Abilify?

WOW, you seem to know alot about this stuff. I've been on Welbutrin before, and I'm taking Ambien for sleep, but I couldn't tell ya what the mood stablizer is, only that it's generic.

You are not kidding about my moods, I've been wanting to rip someone's throat out for three days now. Though that could be a combination of the drugs and not smoking.

And thanks for the congrats. You're the first person who's congratulated me. New drugs
