Different side effects of Bupropion (generic) vs. Wellbutrin XL? (Thinking of switching to generic but scared)?OK, I think that statement makes things sound worse than they really are but I’ve been having more and more periods of not being able to control my emotions, at all, and I had a lot of dreams last night and all day today, when I turn off the “Talking Only” talk show podcasts, I’m having a hard time figuring out what is really going on and what was part of my dreams last night…I look like I haven’t slept in weeks and my head has been hurting a bit all day… I’ve always had some strange mental quirks… Like one time 6 months + ago, I kept seeing this small green plastic basket on my kitchen counter for garlic and chili’s move and it made me really afraid... so afraid I asked what could possibly be happening on Y!A to calm myself down… I couldn’t finish cleaning or cooking dinner because I was so afraid of seeing something the lucid part of me KNEW was just in my mind.I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and Anxiety and am on Wellbutrin XL and Effexor XR but I’m out of Wellbutrin and the company that provides it to me says I still have a months worth left so they won’t ship out my meds!!! I’ve been off of it for a month now...The last few weeks or so, I’ve been hearing things more than usual… I have Tinnitus, or ‘ringing in the ears’ but when I take a bath and have to take my headphones off, for obvious reasons, I’ve been hearing ‘noises’ that I know are not there… I think I’m losing what little of my mind I have left… I’m just so exhausted… So mentally out of control with the depression making it hard to sleep and the anxiety waking me up with ‘guilt’ or ‘panic’ attacks…6:27 am… It ALWAYS wakes me up at 6:27am. I have no insurance… I’m not going to try and off myself so there is no reason to get the state involved… I’m just not sure how to cope with this… I feel just so out of control.What can I do to try and bring all of these things under control?I can't keep my headphones on forever...
Delusional thinking. When I take off my mp3 player, I’m having a hard time remembering reality…?I'm about to begin my senior year, and I would like to be able to attend the Senior Ball at the end of the school year. I didn't attend the Junior Prom because I am extremely self-conscious about my weight, so this is a very important goal for me. I am currently around 5 foot 8 to 5 foot 9, and I weigh an embarrassing 259 pounds. On a side note, I am taking Wellbutrin XL for depression (I take 450 mg daily. I've been taking it for roughly three months), and Adderall XR for ADHD (I only started taking Adderall about a week ago, and I'm still trying to find the right dosage. I'm moving from 10 mg daily to 20 mg daily tomorrow, and I will continue raising the dosage until I find the proper amount for my ADHD.) The Wellbutrin had a fairly extreme affect on my appetite during the first week or so after increasing my dosage to 450 mg, which has more or less gone away. The Adderall, however, completely kills my appetite. I feel comfortable/content missing breakfast and lunch everyday, and I usually don't feel hungry until it's time for dinner. Please note that I am not taking Adderall to lose weight - I am taking it because I have ADHD. My first question is this: Can I lose 120 pounds in eight to nine months just by taking my Adderall and eating healthy foods when I do get hungry, or will the appetite suppression wear off the longer I'm on the medication? As far as exercise goes, I plan to start going on walks and riding my bike everyday. I don't have the money to go to a gym, and I don't own any exercise equipment, so walking and riding my bike are pretty much my only options. My main questions are: Will I be able to lose 120 pounds in eight to nine months by eating healthy, exercising (in the way I previously mentioned) and taking my Adderall? Is it possible that I could lose the weight in less than eight to nine months?I'm sorry this is SO long, and I am eternally grateful to anyone who takes the time to read this and help me out. Thanks so much. :)
How can I lose 120 pounds in eight to nine months?I am in a big pickle right now. My insurance was denied and I had to make an "appeal" to see if I can get it back because I had made a mistake and forgot to send in a form when they were doing an audit at my fiances job.So, now I am out of health insurance for the next 30 days or more, and there is even a possibility I may not get it back. I have to wait and see if they will approve it. I have been dealing with on-off episodes of severe depression for as long as I can remember since childhood. I was passed around to different Dr.s etc and I was never diagnosed with anything concrete. One would say this, one would say that, I went from medication to medication, and never was never sent to a neurologist to see if I have an actual affective disorder etc. I have been hospitalized 3x for suicide attempts. The first time I was 13years old, I was in a comatose like state for 3 days. I was lucky to live after that.When I was 18 and moved away from home, things got better in a lot of ways, but also more and different issues have been arising. Since about age 18 or so now that I look back I see different patterns in my depression making me think possibly I have developed bipolar disorder.Now I am a new Mom of a 3 month old son. I came down with severe Postpartum depression. My family Dr. put me on Wellbutrin XL, and right after this, my insurance was denied. It seemed like it was working, but now I have episodes of extreme aggitation to the point I feel like I am a volcano about to explode. My whole body tenses from the anger, I feel it in my neck, head....It seems like my mood swings are worse. I get so mad that I sometimes feel the urge to slice my wrists or swallow a bottle of pills. It takes everything in my being to stay as composed as I can and push out these thoughts. I am starting to get scared. My fiance is scared, he says he has noticed I am just getting worse.I don't know what to do because I have no health insurance and I NEED to get help. I need to be able to care for my son and work to help support him. We are going through a hard enough time as it is in this economy, I have lost so many of my investments etc....everything is a struggle up hill it seems, and now dealing with this and a new family make is so much harder. I have a supportive family and fiance, but I need professional help. I don't know HOW to ween myself off this Wellbutrin or what to do when I run out? They are too expensive for me to afford without insurance. I just want to get better. I know I have a serious problem and I want to be better for my son. I dont know what to do, and I am so scared or losing my son ever since my family Dr. said that CPS can take him away if I don't get better; (she said that they can say you are unfit as a parent even if you are caring for him and there is no abuse, but just for the simple fact you have postpartum depression or other mental illness makes you a danger? ) I try not to think of this. I dont know if she is trying to scare me or what...I just try to focus on being more postive. I am looking for online forums for help and still searching for free therapy but have had no luck with anything in my area.
How to deal with mental illness when you have no insurance or money for medications?Does anyone know much about this? i have been on Prozac 20mg and clonapin .5 mg since i was 11 and im 17 now. I think my Prozac stopped working so i got all my meds changed. 1st to wellbutrin xl 150mg then to wellbutrin with Prozac still with clonopin then i went to a different doctor he took me off wellbutrin n clonopin i went through withdraw with the clonopin for a few days, then went on 40mg of Prozac 5 mg of abilify and 25-50 mg depending on how i feel of something that starts with a z or an s for anxiety. and that is what i am on now. and i felt like the abilify was working really good for me but ive been feeling like i have restless leg syndrome since i started it and i just made the connection, i only started last week. I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow, but i wanted to see if anyone has any past experience with this and abilify.-depression-anxiety-body dismorphic disorder-paranoia
I just changed to abilify and have bad leg cramps?I've been on Vyvanse for almost 3 months now, 50 mg a day. It's my first time on ADHD medicine, but I've been on Wellbutrin XL 300mg for 18 months. When I began taking the Wellbutrin I weighed about 155 lbs, in Dec of 07. Since then I got down to about 137-140 consistently, but since I started taking Vyvanse my appetite is completely dead. I can't force myself to eat, because if I do then I get so sick that I have to go to the bathroom and try to throw up. I am NOT bulimic or anorexic. It's just miserable being at work every day and feeling so nauseated, so sometimes I just sit in the bathroom and hope that I can throw up - I don't make myself by gagging or anything.For the first time in my life I feel 110% confident in my body and am loving the way I look, but I know that if I continue not eating I'm not going to be healthy. When I started Vyvanse I was average 137-140 lbs. Today I weighed in at 122.8 lbs. Those 14 lbs were all lost within the last month, and it seems to be coming off even faster now. I've lost 7 pounds since last week. I'm 5'7" and 23 years old, and now my family (they don't know I'm on anything) is telling me that I look skinny, but I love how I look now. My point is - sorry I took so long to get there - that I want to know what I can consume each day to keep my nutrition from crashing, but without eating whole meals? I take vitamins, but is there something that I can put in my stomach so that at least I know I'm getting some sort of healthy substance? Like any specific sources of protein or something? Even when I did have an appetite I rarely ate meat, so lack of that is nothing new. I just need to find something to put me at ease about my body and make me feel like I'm not deteriorating. When I say "something I can eat without eating whole meals", I really do mean that I can't eat meals. An example of what I eat per day is a latte in the morning, and sometimes - if I act as soon as I feel the hunger - something such as a bowl of cereal for dinner. That is how my health is now, and I know the obvious answer would be "eat multiple small meals a day" etc etc, but I can't force myself to do that. That's why I'm asking if there's something small but has lots of nutrients? Please help with any suggestions... Thanks!
I barely eat because my Vyvanse kills my appetite - What can I eat to stay healthy?i'm 16 and on an anti-depressant (300mg Wellbutrin XL since the 16th, and 150mg 3 weeks before)my psychiatrist said that if i felt that it was working for me, we could move my saturday appointment to a later date. i don't really know if it is...i don't know what its supposed to be like. i still think about suicide and death related things everyday. is it just a habit i've gotten into? most of the time i can feel ok if i'm alone and doing something that requires most of my attention. when ever i'm with friends i still feel disconnected. i don't feel as helpless and unwanted as i used to, but now i get ticked off about every little thing that goes wrong or someone says. i'm so confused. sometimes i think its working and then i just go back down. is it the medication that isn't working or do i have a really bad habit of contemplating suicide?
How do I know if antidepressant is working? I still think about suicide, is it just a habit now?I have been on wellbutrin xl for about 4 months now. I started off on 150 mg and am now at 300 mg. Ever since being on wellbutrin 300 mg, i always feel sick like and it doesnt help my anxiety at all. My sister is on effexor xr and she says that she loves it, however i read all these articles on how bad this drug is and how much they wish they never started taking it. Are any of you on effexor xr and like it/love it or does everyone just hate it??Im tired of having to try different drugs to get my social anxiety disorder in order. Ive been on zoloft and wellbutrin and i just want to find the right one. Please help.I think i have social anxiety disorder due to lack of confidence. The only thing about talking to people and trying to get over my anxiety is that i dont like going out in public because i feel a panic attack coming on. It's hard to talk to people when im that anxious.
Please help, im desperate.?Okay, today for the first time I look the extended release XL verision of Wellbutrin around 5 PM.Then around 8:30 PM or so I was getting ready to go out and get some food. But for some stupid reason, I locked my bedroom door, walked out of it, closed it, then 10 seconds later decided to try to go back in my room and realized i locked myself out. =/ I've NEVER locked myself out of my room before, ever. When I think back on how I even managed to do that, it feels kinda foggy. I don't even really rember locking it or why I'd even lock it. Then i went to get food... They told me the total, and I counted out my money. By the time I got to the window (like 5 secs later) I already forgot where I put my money. Then I realized it was the same place it was just seconds ago. So far those are the two kinda "stupid forgetful" things that I've already done today. Overall I feel like my head is a little foggy, and I can't think as clear. But I believe I had this problem even BEFORE i started the medication. Perhaps it's anxiety. I don't know. And it's only been 5 hrs since I took the first medication, so is it even possible it affected me that quickly? Or un-related? I also started smoking again on the 24th of this month. (i've been an on and off smoker for a couple years). So 4 days in a row only, but haven't smoked any cigarettes so far today, so no idea if I'm going through "withdrawal". I doubt it since only been 4 days. The only other possibility is I've been having worse anxiety the last week or so on and off. Not so much today though, so I don't know why my memory would be worse on the day I'm not having much anxiety!
Is this related to the medication?Ok here's the deal:I went on Zoloft at the beginning of September to help with freshmen year college anxiety. It worked wonders for my social anxiety, but it did lead to a 15+ pound weight gain. This weight gain was NOT the "freshmen 15." I am extremely obsessive about my weight and refuse to eat the junk they serve here. I don't eat any meat besides fish, and my biggest meal of the day consists of tuna on salad with a lot of veggies and low fat balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I went to my doctor with my concerns and she said that the Zoloft probably messed with my metabolism.So she put me on Wellbutrin XL (generic). I have been on 300 mg for about four weeks now. Despite exercising for an hour each day and eating healthily, I feel as though I have lost absolutely nothing. I am scared to weigh myself because whenever I do now, I go into another fit of depression! I do not have the appetite suppressant feeling that a lot of people talk about on Wellbutrin. I do however feel as though I am extremely alert and focused and get a lot more done in the day, which is probably a good sign of my metabolism returning to normal?I have also been suffering from a compulsive "eating disorder not otherwise specified," chew & spit for about a year and a half. If you don't know, it's exactly what it sounds like, when I am stressed or sad I will chew a bunch of sweets or forbidden foods up and then spit them out. Gross I know. I have read that doing this can raise insulin levels and make it very difficult to lose weight (although I actually lost weight when I wasn't on any anti-depressants). Since being on Wellbutrin I have been able to start weening off of this disgusting behavior, but do still mess up sometimes.My question is, if I fully quit this eating disorder behavior, continue to diet and exercise, but still take Wellbutrin (I feel like it's helping), will I eventually be able to lose this weight? I feel like I should have seen results by now, but maybe I have to be more patient...I have heard that Wellbutrin is not supposed to cause weight GAIN but will it actually allow me to LOSE if I keep working at it? I couldn't lose on Zoloft no matter how hard I tried.Thanks for any answers.
Wellbutrin XL weight loss/eating disorder?I was on Wellbutrin XL 2 years ago and was loosing steady amount of weight. I went off it due to the expense and a year later went on the generic. I started gaining wieght as steadily as I lost it. I decided to go brand name dispite the expense to loose the wieght I gained. To my surprise It is making it impossible for me loose wieght no matter how well I eat and exersize. I intake 1200 cal a day, and I exersize at least 30mins. daily. No matter what I do I cannot loose weight. And now I have to go back on the generic so I'll probably gain even more. It's not a good idea to get off the meds cuase when I did I my depression came back right away. The meds actually do the job that's needed, but I can't loose wieght and it's frustrating becuase I try really hard. I need to loose 30lbs to be at a healthy weight. My family has history of heart attacks from being overweight, and I don't want to be one of them. Can the doc perscribe me something to aid in wieght loss while on my meds
