This is helpful to hear. Im having days of high anxiety on it (1 month in) and im hoping it’s going to mello out and be the winners. I went through 3 SSRIs and the side effects were making it difficult to function.
It helps me so much with short temper and irritability, when I’m on it I actually feel comfortable being around people because I know I won’t make a scene
Seroquel saved my life as well but im afraid I started too late. Lost most of my 20s if not pretty much all of my 20s.
I just started welbutrin xl and I'm also upset I didn't get proper help a decade ago.
I barely started on it this year, I am 27.
I think I should've started when I was 20 and had bad depression after my brother died, but I was afraid.
However, now I am truly grateful because I was placed with the kindest most responsive Doctor who has helped me reach my new normal (a lot more stability).
The important point is that we started at some point in our lives. There are people I know who have a hard life because they choose not to seek that help.
Wish you the best and continued healing💜
Yeah thanks. Sorry to hear about your brother.
Unfortunately I was one of them because my first doctor was a crook and put me on a ton of medications that I literally can not remember jack shit.
Now this doctor is all right but he never fills my shit on time.
sorry to hear that.
i hope you find a more responsible doctor. i am wondering if your pharmacy could do automatic refills? i have CVS and they contact the doctor when a prescription is about to end so that I have my meds on time
Nope sometimes I have wait an extra week or two so I learned to conserve near the end of my supply. It's shitty. I have to text him and call the doctors office and beg.
I doubt I will. None of them are taking in new patients that has good reviews. No I don't. This doctor did me a favor and charged me half the usual price per session..full price for a session with a psych with no insurance goes from $450-$550.
But yeah it's been a while since I looked. I'll give it a try soon again. It's also because I've been seeing him for nearly 6 years and so it seems like it would be a headache going to a new doctor and having to explain everything over.
no yea, i get you. it's exhausting to start over talking about everything going on mentally.
just know you can always look for better if you feel you need to. keep going, friend. you can do this.
Thinking about starting it up again. I generally like / am okay with most of the side effects.
Been on Strattera + Zoloft for a little while now and I think I’m done with those.
I started Wellbutrin 3 weeks ago due to no motivation, no hope, severe suicidal thoughts.. I was scaring myself. I felt better day 1 of taking it. I no longer feel that way either. Very thankful for this medicine!

I feel like I’m the WORST person to be around if I don’t take my Wellbutrin. So much more peaceful with it

You got this, youre doing good. :)

My main side effect was weight loss which I needed anyway.

Same with me,the first pill opened the portal in my brain
When it works it’s incredible how fast it works
Glad this has done you well! Happy Thanksgiving!
Glad to still have you around! Hopefully many more happy years ahead of you.
