> Hey, how's your new job going? I am down to 75mg per day now of Effexor XR and now my Psydoc has me taking 100mg of Wellbutrin SR in the morning and 100mg in the afternoon. I will be eventually be taken off of Effexor XR totally. Do you know anything about Amitriptopylline (spelling is off big time) it helps with depression and chronic pain. I have chronic back pain and major depression. Well, I need to go. Post me soon. Sorry that it has taken so long to check the website, it has been crazy times at work and in my personal life. Have a great evening......

I have been thinking of you. I took a look for the correct spelling and indications for use.
Amitriptyline (Elavil) is just as you mentioned, indicated for use in severe depression and in lower dosage, acts to control chronic pain. I will keep it in mind, but at this time, I want to reduce the number of pills I have to take, starting with Effexor XR followed by Neurotin. I am currently off of all pain meds and feel ok with it.My job is warming up each passing day. I am, once again, feeling more fullfilled. All things considered, I hate to disapoint the Psychologist's out there, work is still one of many ways we define ourselves. If you don't believe me, try being unemployed for a long time (we call it shelf life in my industry). My belief is a depressive personality being alone is a depressive personality being in 'bad company'. Being bi-polar just adds a new twist to the 'bad company' thing.
I think it is a different thing when you are retired, at least you can plan things out.How are you doing, Music ?
How is every one doing ?
