Hi, I myself, am not on any antidepressants, however I have a roommate who I share a house with who is on Wellbutrin and Zoloft. I'm not sure if he takes these meds consistantly but I do see them on the kitchen shelf. I was wondering if the following characteristics are common for users of these drugs:
Sleep a lot
Binge eat (Ice cream, sweets, comfort foods, etc.)
Short attention span/ Chatty (jumping from one topic to another topic to another in the space of a 3 minute conversation)
Lower back painHe's rather messy and leaves the kitchen and common areas a mess which has upset me and the landlord. It's as if he expects us to clean up after him or he just forgets he made the mess to begin with.
Everything I've read on these two drugs say that they are suppose to help you control your appetite, give you energy and relax your back pain. But these things are not happening with my roommate. Could he not be taking the meds?
Also a new drug has appeared on the kitchen shelf, it's Busiperone. I looked that up and it looks like it's for pets (dogs and cats). He does have a dog that is not housebroken and the landlord has asked him to keep the dog locked up in his room so he doesn't urinate all over the place. Can Busiperone be used by humans as well?!?
Has anyone else had similar experiences or know how to effectively deal with someone on these two drugs?
Thanks,
Dave
