> Hi, how is everyone doing? Well, I have a couple questions I would like to ask...if anyone knows the answers, I would love to hear!
> OK, first one: time seems to be going UNBELIEVABLY fast..I blink, and the month is over. You know how sometimes you have slow days and fast days? well my life recently has been like a CONSTANT fast day...except really really really fast. Sometimes it's good -- like waiting for a bus goes by instantly (even if I'm there for 30minutes), but I feel like I'm missing my entire life!!

> second one: at what point should I give up on Wellbutrin...I've been on it for 4 weeks...3 weeks at 300mg, 1 week at 400mg...and still no real antidepressent response...should I ask my doc for a new med or wait a little longer?

> -ChrisHi Chris,
I think the best question to ask your pdoc is "WHAT IS MY DIAGNOSIS". This "CONSTANT FAST DAY" you mention might by mania/hypomania, in which case the Wellbutrin isn't the real issue, if you have bipolar disorder it's important to try mood stabilizers + anticonvulsants (lithium, depakote, lamictal, etc.), Wellbutrin is a favored add-on drug for BP.As for the Wellbutrin you probably should notice some result by now but don't drop it, your pdoc may find a way to "make it work". The DX is very important!!!
Hang in there
