Default Hi Stacy!

Oh, how I can relate! It certainly is frustrating having to take meds upon meds. PLEASE be careful! I agree with Leesa and we say this because we CARE

I've been on Wellbutrin for many years - and have recently been prescribed several others - like you say - some at bedtime, in the morning bleah bleah bleah
I recently found out the hard way what it does to 'quit' taking my meds and it was horrible! I was sick and couldn't keep anything down for 3 days - including my meds! My body spiralled out of control and I thought I was going to lose it! It was a very scary experience. It's like I was shutting down mentally and every pore of my body was screaming ANXIETY. I felt trapped in my own skin and couldn't get out. That 'creepy/crawly' feeling.
I don't ever want to go thru that again.

I know you aren't cold-turkeying your meds, but nontheless, please be careful trying to get off of them. Ask your doctor for a better explanation as to why he won't let you off of them - to try to gain a better understanding of what they are meant to do for you.

I didn't realize how much I needed my meds until this experience.
It's good to be here and talk about our frustrations. I've realized that I'm not alone and I hope others feel that way too.

I'm glad you are here, Stacy
