Well I am not taking any meds to counter the side effects. The new pdoc only lowered the Wellbutrin SR from 300 to 200 and I just started at 2.5 (going down per her instructions 0.5/wk). She wants to put me on an SSRI after I am off but all of them have bunches of side effects for me plus the sexual dysfunction isn't one I am willing to live with. The Wellbutrin at 300 SR/day usually keep things in check as long as my thyroid was also in check (I have Hashimoto's) but it currently isn't and my other doctor is working on that but that takes 6 week shots to see if a dose is working or not -- I'll find out if the current dose is working -- but I know it isn't not because of the depression (which isn't crippling but very difficult as I am a mother of 3 -- 2 teens going cold turkey off cigarettes and a small one (6) -- husband at start up with its own set of problems and he (the hubby) has depression problems -- I am also w/d from 4 mg of Klonopin -- down to 2.5 as of last night -- but the lowering of the WB coupled with the thyroid upset ... well this new doc is do it my way or forget it -- and the old doc was do it my way or nothing ... there has to be a compromise somewhere. Thanks for the info.
