Life has gone downhill FAST

Jun 22, 2008 10:04PM - 3 comments

Well... I started the Wellbutrin. Kept me awake for 2 nights. So the Pharmacist told me to take in the morning. So I did for 2 days. Well it caused heart palpatations! ( I had never had them before so I didn't know what everyone was talking about on here!) So I was told by my Dr. to stop taking it. I liked the effects I was having, in other words it was helping my depression. The last time I took it was Weds. after stopping I have gone even further downhill. So today (Sunday) I decided on my own to split the 75 mg ( not extended release! ) I didn't have heart palps at all. Unfortunately I think I have sunk to a new low.

I really thought that once I'd get my thyroid in order ( I am not tired and my hair has slowly stopped falling out! ) the depression wouldn't be so bad. So I must have Major Depression... which shouldn't suprise me since my family history is riddle with mental health problems. So I'm even more depressed that I really am 'screwed up in the brain!' I'm supposed to see the Dr. again on Tues. but figured if I can keep taking the split dose with out the heart palps I might cancel.

I believe it comes in a 30 mg, if you wanted to stay on the welbutrin. Don't give up on  the depression thing being related to the thyroid. I'm not saying it is or isn't just maybe the thyroid needs a little more time. Dang, they are so slow, and I don't care how much coaxing you do, it doesn't do a thing for that ole thyroid.

Hey you PEGGY64.  Hang in there.  I feel really alone too!  THIS WILL ALL WORK OUT!  Hang in there and don't let them think you need wellbutrin or zanax (sp. check) because they are making you feel like the crazy one.  
It is really hard just starting out but; we will come threw this together.  DEAL?  DEAL.  You can trust for so long which is great; but, other times you have to make a stand.  This is it babe.  You take good care of yourself.  I will be praying for you tonight.  And thank you for that.
