> > >Hey Steve, hope you are not struggling so much now. That is what I want to ask you. I have raised myself the last 3 days to 9mg by cutting a patch in half and adding midday. I knew I was going to need more for depression. At first I thought it was going to give me rage like Wellbutrin but actually it has made me feel less like that and less anxious too. I still fell a little depressed though. I know a couple of days is soon to tell if 9mg will help with that but I am glad it is seeming to help with the anxiety more, suprise. My question, has going to 9mg helped with the depression, if that is indeed your reason for going up?
Thanks so much,donna
