I agreed to take regular (immediate ?) release Wellbutrin because it had worked well for me in the past.
With the first dose of Wellbutrin Thursday I was able to feel some relief from the depression. Side effects: activation and stomach upset. I am not up to the full 1/2 tablet of the 100 mgs she wants me per day (50 mg) due to the above side effects. She did tell me to take more Klonopin as needed. I also increased the gabapentin at night from 200 to 300. M |

That sounds like a good plan, Mari. I hope you see some improvement soon without significant side effects.
I'm glad to hear that your pdoc is encouraging you to use more klonopin as needed. I remember at one point she was talking about discontinuing it. |

Thursday I started on Wellbutrin with a small dose. I had stomach pain and agitation. I took Klonopin as directed.
Friday I took somewhere around 1/3 of Wellbutrin in two doses with Klonopin and some crackers (Crackers for stomach pain.) Saturday I messed up by going to to 1/2 of Wellbutrin in two doses. I moved up too fast I believe. ---- The last dose of Wellbutrin was at 4:30 p.m., but by 11:30 pm, extra Klonopin and Gabapentin were not bringing me down and I was feeling awful from the Wellbutrin chest pain. =-=-=-=-=-=- I had to explain "a little" more than I usually do to hubby so that he could become more involved as my helper. I was careful to tell him enough so that he could pay more attention without telling him so much that he would freak out. It was a hard conversation for both of us. M |

Saw pdoc with a chart I made of Wellbutrin and side effects the past week.
She saw how awful I have been. She wanted to give me something / anything / . . She offered Xanax and other stuff to help with Welllbutrin anxiety since Klonopin was not helping enough with anxiety and Klonopin seems to making depression worse. . . . She wanted something else instead of Wellbutrin. I told her I wanted to wait one more week on the Wellbutrin by staying the course. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A few hours after I saw her, the Wellbutrin anxiety was even worse. I emailed her my update a few mins ago about not wanting to do the Wellbutrin plan anymore. M |

I'm so sorry that things aren't working out with the Wellbutrin and you are feeling so awful… I wish you weren't so sensitive to drugs, and didn't have to go through all this **** all the time to treat your BP and anxiety
I'm glad that your pdoc is sensitive to your needs and wants to work with you. I hope that her solution to the problems with the Wellbutrin is a good one. I don't know how long it will stay in your system once you stop taking it though. Maybe switching to Xanax temporarily is a good idea, unless you've had a negative experience with it. I've found it to be stronger than klonopin, and it works faster, but not for as long. It worked pretty well for my anxiety attacks when I was having them frequently. You can always go back to klonopin once you've weathered the storm. I hope you can find some relief soon, Mari |

It sounds like you are really trying.
