New, just saying hi
 

Hello, there,

I've got my depression under control with Welbutrin, but a friend just kind of freaked out this week, her meds stopped working, and she's going into the hospital for 8 hours a day for 3 weeks. I've never heard of any such thing, going to a hospital for depression for so long (it makes me wonder if there's suicidal thoughts, or even actions).

Anyway, it's just got me a little scared, so I wanted to check in here, it's nice to have some support.

Take care.

My daughter was hospitalized a few years ago but she had to stay 72 hours so your friend has some issues and needs support hopefully she isn't suicidal good luck

Great to have you!!
 

Hello Zipster!
 

Welcome to NT! :hug:

I too have been on Wellbutrin (15 yrs!) It seems to keep from spiking moods and bouts of depression. There have been a few times that I was tempted to add Abilify, thinking the Wellbutrin wasn't enuf, but haven't acted on it.

I hope things turn out well for your friend.
Feel free to visit our Depression Forum. Maybe I'll see you over there!

Great to have you!

Hi Rrae -- I added Abilify to my antidepressant, and it worked GREAT!!! I took it for quite awhile, but unfortunately after awhile it caused my legs & feet to swell -- so my doc took me off of it. :( That upset me, cause it really did help me alot! It really does work great! Hugs, Lee
