i am having multiple Wellbutrin side-effects and now racing thoughts too.

to start with:

migraines w/ and w/o aura
auras w/o headache
photophobia & phonophobia v. bad and extend through day after headache remits
sometimes nausea
exhaustion

as such, i will be on computer when i can - which hasn't been recently. even with shades it is hard. sometimes no computer no tv only black sock and earplugs.

i want my own room!!!
with FOIL ON THE WINDOWS!!!

i am also having stabbing chest pain
- does not correspond to anxiety (no response to lorazepam).

it is constant/chronic and other sx absent so i would exclude heart or resp. issues. plus, it happened while starting on lower dose, then remitted. It IS listed in Wellbutrin pamphlet. very strange.

what else. oh

thoughts racing sometimes a lot making it difficult to concentrate.

==========
MED PLAN:
==========

i'm upping my Depakote to 1 gram.

1. that will eventually help with migraine prevention/intensity.

2. If enzymatic inhibition is stable, it will also counter activating sx (racing thoughts).

BUT

if this does not resolve racing thoughts
- OR, regardless -
if chest pain does not resolve

I will suspend Wellbutrin.

VENT:

i hate drug mfrs for farting their stupid xl formula abroad sans the other kinds so pts cannot titrate like should. all the side effects still make miserable 2 months, compare to not miserable 2 months, used for decent titration! xl has most issues than both other formulas combined probably from complaints i've heard on internet. terrible. should take it off market.

i am less depressed... but disabled by side effects.

there oughtta be a law.

===============

and NOW my head IS churning loose multilingual verbage like a blender. interferes with sleep. can't tell if churning or dreaming or what. big mess of sound and motion pictures HAH!

at times, my context gets "unplugged" and i read words in one language as though in another (and not even my natural ones). To think i am qualified to work as a translator - heh - if i were right now i would take text in one language and spit it out in three ~ intermingled ! Ya, da tripolar translator... requires special socket adaptor.

(see now, with the SR, i could skip a little tiny pill in one day, and "tweak" my dose here and there to avoid this hoohah.)

I WANT MY WELLBUTRIN SR BACK!

if you have advice pls post, i will check back... brain-fry allowing.
