I mentioned to my neuro that my mood was down last visit and he added an additional AD. I'm already on 20 mg of generic Lexapro and he added generic Wellbutrin xr 150 mg. My mood is better in less than a week. I'm hoping I'm not losing my mind, lol.

At the same appt he told me that I just need to accept that I have a bad back. I've had problems for almost 3 years now and taking lots of meds for that, physical therapy, cortisone injections in my spine, sitting all day long on the heating pad, you name it I've done it.

He said he doesn't think I should have back surgery because of the chance of nerve damage or scar tissue. My pain doctor said she doesn't think I'll need that either.

I'm scheduled for more cortisone injections, this time in my piriformis muscle area. She's thinking it might be severe sciatica that is sometimes on both sides.

It's depressing to think I can't work in my garden. That's my favorite thing to do. I think that's what led to my low mood.
