I have been on Wellbutrin before and it didn't work for me.

I was also on venlafaxine and another SNRI in the past. Both caused increased in blood pressure and weight gain, so I got off of them. And SNRI's -- from my experience -- are notorious for causing metabolic issues. Of course, I took them before my present issue, but I've heard that tricyclics are often used.

I'll talk to my neurologist about this when I see him.

Altered sensation in any extremity -- formally diagnosed or not -- is very dispiriting. I wonder how people deal with this and live comfortably on a daily basis. When my symptoms flare up, I get so down and lose focus and interest in anything and everything.
