Susan J (my name is Susan too), I really hope you can find a doctor that respects your comments on how you are feeling on the meds. It sounds like your current doc is not doing that. I know exactly how to monitor myself and how I feel on each med and no doc should ever tell YOU how YOU feel. Paxil was the worst- the absolute worst. I just zoned out, felt like pure hell and had tons of terrible side-effects. I am glad Wellbutrin is working for you (it made me nausiated, but I know people who are fine on it). I am a bulldog about conquering my depression, and I won't let any doc get uppity or wishy-washy with me about my treatment. I think I am the one ultimately saving my own life here with my insistence on the right med. These meds are serious, serious drugs and I wish more docs would pay proper and crucial attention to what they are doing to their patients. I truly believe a psychopharmacologist should be required as part of treatment when seeing a psychiatrist for meds (and insurance should pay for it no question) Best of luck and stick to your guns!
