tobeistohope Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I am in a state of extreme anxiety and depression and just can't seem to get out of it. I am withdrawing from pristiq and starting wellbutrin and I don't know if this is from that or what? When I first started the Wellbutrin the firs week was really good, but has gone downhill from there. I even thought aboiut suicide this time. I have 2 teenagers and just can't do that. Help? Any suggestions to feeling better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'm sorry you are struggling, ToBe. Are you still seeing a therapist? Have you spoken with your doctor about the possibility of your medication playing a role? We're here and listening if it is helpful to express yourself.

Guest ASchwartz Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 tobe,not all medications are for everyone. perhaps welbutrin is not your thing. also, dosage is very important. I suggest you speak to your psychiatrist if you have not done so already.are you feeling any better at this point?allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscat Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 if the new medication is not helping you then go back to your DR. and get on something else that will help you .In the meantime focis on your kids , try to keep your mind busy . You will get through this and you can feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobeistohope Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I think I'm actually starting to feel better today. Maybe the withdrawals from the Pristiq have warn off. At least I hope so. And the nicotine withdrawals are getting better alos. I stopped seeing my therapist because I couldn't afford to go anymore, so I don't have that outlet anymore, althouigh he still allows me to email him anytime I want. He sure is a nice person.

eppursimuove Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice to see ur fine, isnt there any center or place where u could see a therapist for free? Im friends of a priest, i am not a great fan of church but he dosent mind, and they study lots of years to be priest and how to treath ppl so maybe meeting someone like a priest would be good, at least if u whant to talk to someone.

tobeistohope Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 There is a place where I can get therapy without cost. I guess I just don't want to make the change from the one that I've been with for 2 years, but I am going to have to anyway, so I think I will call Monday and make an appt. Thanks to all of you who have been here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
