Hi
I'm new to all of these threads and read some before I came here but I thought I could find some help here.
I was on paxil almost three years ago and was taken of it gradually after I was involved in a minor assault charge and my psychiatrist had admitted to the court in writing that he thought that Paxil contributed to my aggression...the thing is while still on probation the court wanted me to see the same doctor after voluntarily not going to appointments and getting meds from my family doctor I won that battle in court.
The thing is a almost a year later I've started taking wellbutrin (staying on all the other prescribed medications as before) and 3 weeks into the treatment I'm starting to notice the same withdrawl and apathy and just general hatred for some things and I'm worried that this will bring me to where i was and if it does I will go to jail for what in canada is a year less a day... pluss 45 days for violating probation. I have told my family doctor all of this and he doesn't seem to care. He has now put me on a low dose of amitryptaline and I don't see a difference.
Does anyone think I should still push to go off of the wellbutrin? I'm taking 100mg...Ive often thought of dose titration: day taking it then not for two weeks then two days off for two weeks then off completly....I have a little bit of a backgroung in pharmacology from University.
Help, suggestions...
