I am sorry that your mood switched so fast. kind of scary wasn't it.
we need AP's to help prevent episodes. I am glad that I am being treated with the low dose of haldol 5mg twice a day. I am glad that you reached out for help as soon as you did. good going.

Dr. W. prescribed Wellbutrin, starting at a very low dose. I seem to have developed such sensitivities to meds. I'm starting at 75mg. in the morning.

Thank you so much, Rainbow. Yes, both AD's. Pdoc is concerned about causing mania, but my main concerns right now are anxiety and depression. And not feeling half-asleep all day from sedating meds. __________________ |

It seems the Wellbutrin is easing my depression and giving me more energy to have insight. I will be taking an additional 75mg this afternoon. So that will be a total of 150mg/day. We're starting with the SR and will progress (hopefully) to the XL.

Is it possible that I'm the only person in existence who gets sleepy from Wellbutrin? I was really hoping for increased energy. Maybe when we switch to XL?

It's supposed to be energizing . My pdoc gave me instructions about how I must not take the Wellbutrin close to bedtime, blah, blah...so I take it in the morning and all I can do is nap. Maybe the sleepiness is still depression? Maybe once the Wellbutrin builds up to a consistent blood level I won't feel so sleepy. It's also supposed to decrease appetite....*sigh* -haven't noticed that yet, either. Well, I see Dr. W. on Thursday so by then I should have a sense of what's-what. Thank you, bizi __________________ |

how long have you been taking the welbutrin?
as any antidepressant as you know can take up to 2-3 weeks before noticing a difference.

I hear the larger the dose of klonipin may not be hard lowering the dose, it is when it gets down to small bits that it is hardest.
good luck to both of you!!!! bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |
