General Update

The antidepressant that my doc gave me is working some.  He started me on 100mg of wellbutrin and in two weeks he is going to up it to 200mg - as long as I havent gone manic. Problem is that I still have tremors and twitching - enough for people to notice it.  I'm going to ask the pdoc next time I see him on what to do about these side effects.  Akso my eyesight is chainging - I can't read things with my glasses on. I've been cooking meals last week.  I've been isolating myself though.  The main socializing I get is at my dbsa (depression and bipolar association) meetings. The cats I got are getting more and more lovable.  They really help fill the void of my cat that died when I was in the hospital. Vicor lost his job - we can't afford the mortage so we'll probably lose the house.  I wish we'd get a break - it's been 3 years of hell for everyone, all cuz of my bp.

I like Wellbutrin when I was on it because it picked me up more than most antidepressants. It did give me some twitching and tremors so be sure to tell your pdoc about them dosage and time may alleviate them. I lost weight while on this med. Are you also taking Lamictal? I also noticed some blurry vision but it went away. Seems like if I got too much sleep my vision would get blurry.
Sorry to hear about your house and income problem. That will be hard.
Glad you are able to get to some DBSA mtgs.
