I get psychotic on wellbutrin, hiding from cars when I was jogging (gotta get back to that, jogging I mean, not hiding from cars). And the social phobia was like paranoia. yick and yuck.
I have not tried Parnate, I was considering it after some of you suggested it. My pdoc thinks I will get the awful mixed state again. Maybe all the anxiety is just not going to let me do well on a stimulating med. I really did well on paxil a million years ago before i became mummifed in front of the tv.
I have been thinking about revisiting strattera. I got alot done when I was on it before and lord knows i could use some focus. I don't know why I quit taking it. It is a good thing my pdoc takes copious notes.donna
