>Yeah, I'd put my money on the Wellbutrin, especially since you just started it. Let your pdoc know, if you haven't already. Or maybe you are enjoying the visuals and don't want to let you pdoc know? lol
What's your official diagnosis? Again, I'm sorry, I'm sure you've told me in the past, but my memory is just sh*t ever since ect. I see Lithium there, so it must be more than simple depression...oh wait! I remember you mentioned OCD too. But do you suffer from bipolar disease or anything that would cause psychosis? Aside from your current visuals, of course; I'm sure they are secondary to the Wellbutrin. And I know you have suicidal ideation.
The reason I'm asking all these questtions is b/c you are on quite a cocktail of drugs and yet you are still suffering from constant suicidal ideation. And the Wellbutrin is out now; I was kidding before you really should stop it and call your pdoc.
I'm just thinking that maybe your depression is worse than you think, b/c of all the suicidal ideation, and you are on so many drugs and yet, they are not helping to stop those thoughts. So I was really wondering if you might not benefit from an MAOI, b/c they help more than all the drugs you're taking combined. Which of course you are taking all of them combined lol
Just a thought; and it really depends on your diagnosis, your pdoc's opinion, and of course, your opinion.No matter what, keep me posted on the hallucinations and the Wellbutrin, which, again, I really do think needs to be stopped. If you stopped it and the hallucinations stopped, at least you'd know for sure it was the Wellbutrin that caused them. And be sure to call your pdoc too.
Sorry for the long post!
Stay well, and write if you need support, have questions, or just want to talk.
