This doctor put me on a dose of 30mg of Cymbalta to start with and I was filled with anxiety, I was like climbing the walls it was terrible! I went to another doc who said the dosage was too high for me for where I was at...the other meds I was taking at the time, the stuff I was going through (I was going through extreme anxiety), and so on...so she put me on a very low Lexepro dosage...and worked me up to 15 mg of it...it was alright for awhile but I didn't like the side effects...mostly no libido! Also I was feeling tired, no motivation, whatever..it sucked (although I wasn't anxious anymore whoopieee!)....so I've weaned myself off of it and now I'm down to like a 1/4 pill a day which is nothin! but I've learned the hard way to wean off these brain messing drugs slowly which I'm doing...I'm also on 100 mg of Wellbutrin which I hardly notice it's working....I see the doc tomorrow and...I'm not sure if I should go for an increase of Wellbutrin or just forget about them altogether....I'm leaning towards giving them all up cuz I know there are side effects to all medications and he who goes up must come down...eventually...on the other hand I could stay on them forever if they work and I hear it's about trial and error so maybe I should increase the wellbutrin to get out of this debilitating depression I've been feeling...I mean it sucks! I don't have any desire to get out of bed ya know?...I just wasted my Labor day watching TV laying in bed and going back and forth from the refrigerator/microwave to this bed... ALLLL Frrricken Day AANNDD Night!!! and it sucks cuz....you would think that if it is not depression than what is it?? I don't even have any drive to do anything for myself!! I mean at least in the past I would tinker with stuff here and there...get involved in silly projects that I couldn't complete or would totally mess up but I would at least be DOING SOMETHING....now I have no desire to do ANYTHING...I don't know what is wrong with me??...have you ever in your life been in a place like this before?

yes..Harry...you are not alone...i really think you should tell your doctor all of this..AND..if your worried about your libido, my doctor says that one of the side effects of Wellbutrin is increased sex drive....sooo..there\'s a thought...
LEXAPRO SAVED MY X\'S LIFE. NOW HE HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS KIDS. HE HAD NIGHT SWEATS, TWITCHING, COULDN\'T SLEEP, AND GOT DIZZY BECAUSE IT CHANGED HIS WHOLE BRAIN CHEMICAL STRUCTURE.(HAVEN\'T ASKED ABOOT THE SEX DRIVE COS.....EW!) HANG IN THERE LOVE!
agh. meds. i\'d rather not take any. i feel so unnatural when i know i\'m swallowing pills every damn day
yes i am there quite a lot, so don\'t worry you are definitely not alone! how long have u been on the wellbutrin for? sometimes it can take a month or two for the meds to really start to work. big hugs x
u take one med for one thing and it causes something else. Why not try au naturel? Many medications are extracts of the natural stuff...Selenium is supposed to be good for depression. I\'m still for the natural stuff which has virtually no side effects + boosts your immune system! hugs
ah, meds are a tricky bitch. stay strong! i know it\'ll be obnoxious... *hugglez*
