Hi!!
Thanks for your lovely post! It is much apprecaited.
> Are you currently under a psychiatrist?
No, I see a GP at a health centre.....I have been though most of them there, and the one i have at the moment, is the one that is pretty amenable and has let me try reboxetine. I wanted to try it because I think I am ADD (and I also suffer from depression) although I have never had a proper diagnosis made by a psychiatrist. I am realising that I should see one. At least if I have a proper diagnosis, then I could get the right meds and also begin to try and get myself better.....
Anyway I was thinking of trying wellbutrin. Or one of the TCAs. Celexa sort of worked for me, like lifted the depression (sort of), but I was soooo tired all the time and had zero motivation I have got sick of it. I just about weaned off it last week. And my theory about celexa and the tirdness is that it affects your 'sleep architecture' and actually the sleep you get on it, isn't as refreshing. Now I really notice the difference - my sleep quality is much better. Anyway, yeah so, I think I might try wellbutrin on its own. I'm meant to be taking reboxetine, which I found really calming but I don't like the fact that its made me develop acne and my periods have stopped. Plus my little heart was racing away! And it pooped out.
I was reading somewhere else about reward deficiney - which neurotransmitter is involved with that - dopamine? Would therefore wellbutrin help with that??
