Hi Janice,
Both the Wellbutrin & Prozac helped to some degree initially. Some of my energy came back up and I was less obsessed about negative possibilities and less tense and tired, generally more energized. But still somewhat discombobulated and not able to focus for long, unless particularly absorbed in what I was doing.
Then the fatigue and physical tension came back to varying degrees. Over the holidays I neglected to bring the Prozac with me and was off it for a few days and then back on but haven't renewed my prescription since it ran out. The Wellbutrin I've cut down from twice a day to once. Still find it difficult to get to sleep initially, at night, as I'm generally quite conscious, though I sleep well and too long (through alarms which is unusual for me)and am usually quite groggy first thing and until I've had a couple of coffee and some time.
Wellbutrin is about out and I may let it lapse too. Going to see my PD for the first time in over a month next week and will discuss it with him, however I will be the one who makes the decision. My cirumstances and stress load have changed so I have a bit of time to experment and consider options. I'm curious about JL's experience and will continue to monitor that.
Generally though, as I think is pretty obvious, I'm in favour of finding a solution other than ADs and that will always be my first priority. ADs if necessary but not necessarily ADs.... We shall see.
Have you decided if you will move back to TO yet and if so when? I would think there would still be a few other opportunities in Calgary. BTW, if you want an uplifting experience, whether you drink or not, you might want to go by the Atlantic Tap and Grill (I think that's what they call themselves there) in the basement of the Stampteder Inn on McLeod Trail, not far from one of the big shopping centres. Haven't been there, been to the one here, and I have no doubt it's a lively fun place, full of Maritimers and Newfs.
