John,
Thank you for getting back to me. I'm sorry that you found Wellbutrin to be agitating the first time that you tried it, but it's good to hear that you're giving the medication another try. It sounds like you're attacking your depression from as many angles as possible with the Wellbutrin, the fish oil, and the therapy that you're planning to start, and I can only hope that your multi-modal sort of approach will produce some positive results. I also hope that you won't find the agitation and anxiety from the Wellbutrin to be too much for you this time around, with you titrating the medication slowly. So, I'd like to wish you luck with your new Wellbutrin trial and also with the therapy that you'll be entering into.
Also, thank you for visiting my blog and for complimenting me on my writing. I appreciate the fact that you took some time to read what I've written about my battles with mental illness, and I'm especially glad that you enjoyed what you read.
I would encourage you to keep us posted on how things go with your Wellbutrin trial. If you don't end up responding well to Wellbutrin this time around, you do of course still have the TCAs and MAOIs to try, and I would say that there is a good chance that you might benefit from one of those medications, either alone or in combination with another medication. Of course, hopefully things will go well with the Wellbutrin, and you won't have to worry about trying either a TCA or an MAOI. I'm just saying that you'll still have some effective options to choose from if things don't end up working out with your current treatment.
So, again, I'd like to wish you luck with your treatment. Let's hope that the Wellbutrin that you're taking will end up being what you need to stay out of bed and that it will help you beat your depression.
