aplentin is the antidepressant

I couldn't find that online. The closest I could find was another generic name for gabapentin in another country.

Aplenzin Oral : Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pictures, Warnings & Dosing - WebMD
i didn't realize how expensive it is.

Holy S- is that expensive!!! Are you getting samples?

So, from what I read, it contains bupropion, so is similar to Wellbutrin, etc. But is an extended release atypical antidepressant that is taken once a day, and can be taken in higher doses, so it is good for patients who have been treatment-resistant in the past. It also has a low incidence of associated weight gain (:)).

So, aside from HEFTY the price, it sounds good. I didn't look up any of the side effects tho because you seem to be doing well, and I'm not going to stir the pot.

I really hope that this is the magic bullet, and it lifts your depression for you for a long, long time, Bobby :hug::hug::hug:

I get a prescription and with epic a senior ny program I pay 30 dollars for three months. the insurance company had to approve the drug. I really like my new psychiatrist.she is gentle but sharp. she told me I have to go to bed at ten to help my anxiety. I finally feel asleep close to 11:30. I put blue emu on my back and it helped big time. she is going to wean me off of lexapro because she said it can cause anxiety.

This is the new-new pdoc you are talking about, right? Not the one who wanted you to bring the cats in?

She sounds like a good pdoc.
Is she taking care of you as far as Klonopin is concerned?

I'm SO GLAD that you have that extra insurance so you can get that med because it sounds so promising, and it seems like it is already helping :):):)

mymorgy 04-02-2019 09:15 AM

this is the brand new doctor. first time i saw her. she is giving me 2mg of klonopin twice a day

OhKay 04-02-2019 09:39 AM

Is that the dosing that you wanted?

mymorgy 04-02-2019 11:13 AM

yes it is. the same as before

Dmom3005 04-02-2019 11:26 AM

Glad that she is going to work out. And glad that she is
going to wean you off the lexapro if it causes anxiety.

hmmm, I will have to look that up. I find that interesting.
