I don't get the problem with welbutrin tho. I was first started on*zoloft. At first it was ok because it sent me straight into anhedonia, which was a relief. But I couldn't function like that. Switching to welbutrin was MUCH better. But when I was eventually put on lamictal... that was best of all. If the next one gives you grief about welbutrin, ask about lamictal. It is becoming a go-to med for depression because even tho its original purpose was as an anti-epileptic, it has become famous for how effective it is in treating depression .
Yeah, my last on had me on 50 mg of vyvanse which is essentially adderall. I still have left overs of them, but want a much smaller dose since I have no tolerance. I do think he was kinda implying I'm a drug addict and don't need these meds but didn't even have the balls to say that to me. Didn't even want to explore a reasonable alternative with me! I'm still shocked. I mean, I also fire clients but only when they don't pay ever or when they are very very crazy... I can't imagine why a psychiatrist would fire me. I'm crazy light. Lol! I pay his bill. I would have considered swapping the adderall for something else... But to tell me to stop taking a med that's working for my depression... Wtf!

I knew doc in a local clinic who recommended people eat raw dough. He believed that and also drinking yeast will cure every disease.

Lol it is funny now but we had some crazy experiences. It wasn't US but so called old country lol

my grandma was a nurse at this local clinic and we lived in a small community. Everyone in a neighborhood knew every doc there.

There used to be some very bizarre docs. Couple of very evil female ob/ gyn. One used to say "you knew how to spread legs for a man but don't know how to climb on a chair". I never see female doctors after that, especially female gyn, never.

One said to my mom " you multiply like cats". My mom only has two kids and lost her third in miscarriage.

Oh those stories. And don't let be started about child birth

I really hope you're joking! That could cause some bad stomach trouble.
