I was able to get into see my regular doctor today and he started me on wellbutrin instead of the mirtazipine. It better work because I don't know what else to do. My psych isn't available for another couple of weeks. So, i'm stuck with my regular doctor for now. I really hope the wellbuterin works.

It can take a couple weeks to get up to therapeutic levels. Do you keep a journal about emotions and mood swings? It may help your psych evaluate the effectiveness of wellbutrin for you.

Mirtazipine gave me horrible nightmares, turned my skin ash gray and made me think about suicide all day long.

Wellbutrin picks me up in the morning and never lets me down, I love it
As the Pepper Man said, it takes a few weeks to work, good luck.

I hope it does work for you

Maybe instead of saying "It better work" say "This is going to work" ...Sometimes the power of positivity helps. I realize that's not always the most helpful advice tho. Sorry :(

ThePepperMan> No I don't keep a journal. I am hoping it will start working by my next appointment in a couple of week.

I have heard wonderful things from people who take Wellbutrin. I have a good feeling that you will have good luck with this medication. It takes a bit to kick in so be patient!! :-)
