Yeah, Raisin, insomnia can screw you up. I bet that was VERY disappointing for you after you went and cleaned for 3 days and all. The feeling of accomplishment and productivity can be a mild anti-depressant in itself. It is also in this way, for me, I think I'm a victim of myself. I think I feel low when I know I have a zillion things to do and am not accomplishing anything. I feel low because of my weight gained. I feel low because I didn't have the mental ability to do everything that needed done for months, and am now paying for it dearly. It doesn't seem like clinical depression, though some have suggested I have depression.
I'm not having the ups and downs too bad. I think I was in tears the other night out of frustration with my homework, and after that Chianti..well, I have no interest in having a drink after that. lol I didn't know you could get a hangover off one drink either.
One great thing about WB is no cravings for sugar/carbs like I was having nightly and no cravings for alchohol which I had occaisonally. I only drank that night because I was wiht friends who wanted to drink, just seemed like the thing to do at the time. I have another get together to go to tonight, I know there will be alcohol there and think I will abstain. The good thing is that I'm spending time with friends. Months ago, I hated to leave the house or be around anyone.
So I've felt ok with the Wellbutrin since then. Not good, but ok. Interestingly, the first day I felt great is when I took one of my weekly doses of Vitamin D script. I have 6 more weeks left, so I'll watch for that when I take it next time.
I don't know whether to go up or down on the WB thought. Since I'm not experiencing anxiety, irritability, or insomnia, I'm thinking maybe I should go up to 300 mg in a couple weeks. Do you still take the Zoloft and Wellbutrin combo?
Thanks for writing :))
Thanks, too, Phillipa :)))
