I just put a call into my T. I am and have been feeling like I am on the edge of a breakdown. I feel it and I kinda acted ( I did) on it this morning. I am fine no harm was done. I just see where this is going and I am scared.
I am going on my 2nd week of getting off the Wellbutrin. I still feel pretty bad, I get the shakes, my sleep is off and I get those brain zaps. What have I done to myself? I went last week to another nurse practitioner and she just gave me pills ( Lexapro) I hate pills. I am tired of life and I need help that's why I called T. He needs to know. Until then, I am trying to stay focused which seems to be hard. The new pdoc comes August 8th. Long time...

I am sorry to hear it is so rough for you right now. I hope the new pdoc is useful. Sorry you have such a long wait.

I'm not a big fan of pills either. Wellbutrin caused tinnitus in me; lexapro worked once but then caused panic the second time around. Trying cymbalta now with some success. Yeah, I think we all hate pills, but I think that for now I am better off with them than without. Good luck to you. By the way, the first two weeks off of Wellbutrin were actually worse than the depression itself. I was crying at the drop of a hat (actually, any thought or word did it). That was withdrawal from that medication for certain. Now I'm feeling quite a bit better. I do wish you well. August 8 is not too far in the future.

Well, no call back from T. Guess another day won't matter. It's not good for me to be in my mind alone right now.

That welbutrin withdraw can be hell. Maybe you went off to quickly? Did you cold turkey it? Go slower.

Tell the nurse that you need to raise the dose until your body adjusts, and then go off of it slower. Your nurse isn't living inside of your skin. It is unfair of her to expect you to go thru this.
