Depression, Anxiety, New Coping Mechanisms?

I've been taking Wellbutrin (Anti-anxiety/depressant) for alittle under a year because I was going through a divorce (trust me, if you this guy, you'd be drugged up too! lol jk) anyways...I'm considering donating my eggs. However I don't want to do that with medication in my system. I'm off of the wellbutrin (I very slowly lowered the doseage and eventually weaned myself off) and my question was how long do you think it takes for the wellbutrin to leave my system concerning my ovums (egss)? Would a detox "diet" help? Such as the master cleanse with the lemon and cayenne pepper? Or the raw food diet? Or liquid (fruit and veggie ) diet? Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks guys! :)



Detox, Meds, egg donation Oh my!?

I am hoping somewhere out there has gone through something similar. I never had a problem with insomnia before. I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder in my mid 20’s, but was able to control it with meds, exercise, diet, etc. I was weaned off two years later, and had not had any problems for 7 years. Even at the height of my anxiety, I NEVER ha a problem with sleep. Then all of a sudden, I moved out of state away from my parents, and starting having panic attacks and fell into a depression. There was a lot going on in my life at that time with multiple surgeries, a failing relationship, ill parents, ill pet, etc. Ever since then I had been on and off meds trying to find the right one bc they all seem to cause insomnia. Last February, I made the mistake of filling a prescription for Wellbutrin and Lamictal because I had tried so many others. I started the Lamictal and three weeks later stopped b/c I didn’t like how I felt. So, I started the Wellbutrin. Two days into it, I started having violent body jerks at night as I was trying to fall asleep. This lasted all night. I instantly stopped the Wellbutrin, but ever since then (and it has been over 2 years), I still have those jerking episodes, which, interestingly enough, happens now every month exactly a week before my period and once my period ends, it subsides. I’m scared that these meds damaged something neurologically and it’s irreversible. I am completely off meds. I’m too scared to try anything new, especially psych meds. I do have a history of childhood seizures, which is why I’m so scared. Has anyone else had anything similar? I’m also going to be 42. I’m thinking it could be perimenopause and the whole fluctuating hormone theory. I don’t trust doctors. All they’ve done is make matters worse and are too quick to want to prescribe something. I feel so alone in this.



Anyone have night twitches/jerking during PMS or due to anxiety?

I'm really worried. I was diagnosed with Major Depression 3 or 4 years ago (its biological, not situational). I've wanted to get off my meds for a while now...I'm on 300mg Wellbutrin XL and 20 mg Prozac. I have less than a week left of my pills. I tried to contact my psychiatrist to see if she could give me one of those starter packs so that I can wean myself off...but she's not available until JULY!! And I have NO refills left! I have finals in two weeks (rights before my graduation for my associates), and can't really risk a bad depression. But she won't prescribe me anything more until she sees me! What the hell am I going to do? I went on the cancellation list...but there's no guarantee I'll see her. Should I just stop taking them altogether and see what happens? Any suggestions?



No meds left! What should I do?

In the past month, I've gone from 100 pounds to 110 pounds--that's ten percent of my body weight!! When I got to 105, I cut back my calorie content (I'm short) but I seem to only have gained weight. I literally look 3-4 months pregnant, and I only eat around 900 calories a day (down from 1200), and I've been exercising 4 times for 30 minutes. It isn't muscle weight... I'm just bicycling.I've been hypoglycemic for quite some time now, but this past week I've noticed that if I don't eat breakfast, I'm fine and my blood sugar doesn't crash. But then I'll eat at 10 (I wake up at 5:30) and shortly after, my blood sugar hits the floor by 12. If I have egg beaters for breakfast, I crash around 8.As a whole, I feel weak and tired. It isn't that my calorie content is way too low--I just don't require that much, and i'm not liking the gaining weight thing. I have been feeling hungry constantly, but my belly will be distended with food and I'll still feel the need to just eat and eat, despite my intense uncomfortability.I had my thyroid tested a yesterday. Could it be a thyroid problem, or is this all just hypoglycemia, and my body feels the weird need to put on unneeded pounds? If I up my calorie content, my weight will skyrocket.P.S.: Ive recently weaned myself off of Effexor and am now on Wellbutrin. I have been on Yazmine for a year, and Yaz for two before that. Help?? I've also been drinking tonsss of water!



Constantly weak, starving, and weight gain?

a few weeks ago i went to the e.r. for heart palps, long story short i had alot of expensive tests done and was told my heart was normal. but my potassium and magnesium were low. i got these tested again recently and my mag was still low, and ive been doing everything i can to eat p&m rich foods and taking supplments. however, my heart still thumps and races. what am i doing wrong? i am in the process of weaning myself off wellbutrin which i have researched and can cause these problems. i have been on it for less than a year, started at 150mg and then a few weeks later with doc approvel upped to 300mg. this may have been causing my heart sensations, but i am down to 150 again and feel no relief. wouldnt i feel better by now? whats if its not the wellbutrin at all. how long would it take for wellbutrin to firstly cause heart issues (because i was on it for months before this started) and for them to go away. i know i just cant stop cold. im just so SICK and tired of these scary sensations. if the doc told me through stress test, chest xrays countless ekgs and an echo cardio test that things are okay...WHY arent they ok? its making me crazy im constantly mentally scanning my heart and what its doing...im just feeling so hopeless.



wellbutrin and heart problems?

If trying to lower the dosage, is it safe to half the wellbutrin sr pill in order to wean yourself off of it? What's the safest way to wean yourself off the medication?



Can you half the wellbutrin sr pill safely?

I've noticed that, for the most part, I hardly ever have any motivation or energy to do anything. This has been going on for maybe 2 years now. I tried antidepressant medication like lexapro and wellbutrin, and weaned off from them summer of 09. Since then I've been treating this condition with 5 htp and occassionally will use tyrosine, which doesn't really have much of an effect. I exercise every day, and am a full time student. I am always zoning in and out during class, and even when I try my hardest I just can't grasp what i'm being taught, and can't really think. I just want to know if there is anything greater that I could be doing. I eat very well, exercise every day, and atleast try to study and read alot, but always feel run down, and my brain is almost non-functional. I just don't get riled up or excited about anything, and will only do things when forced against a wall, and I am always forgetting things. Im only 19 and I already feel like i'm getting old, and it sucks. please help.

I have been on 20mgs. of lexapro for almost three years now. I don't feel like it is working anymore and I have been real depressed for about a month now. I told my Dr. about this the other day and he suggested I swap to Wellbutrin. Do I just stop the lexapro cold turkey and start taking the wellbutrin, or do I need to wean off the lexapro first? Anyone have any experience with these two medications??



How to switch from one antidepressant to another one..?

I have been diagnosed as clinically depressed and after 3 years, I'm finally on a med that is working for me. I also suffer with panic attacks so I take Klonopin for anxiety, only as needed. My question is, what does clinically depressed mean and although I've been told that I will ALWAYS need to take an antidepressant, how do I really know that? Does that mean that your neurotransmitters cannot heal after being damaged? The thought of being on medication for the rest of my life is not comforting. I have been through therapy, group therapy, counseling and am doing great. I have, with the help of my doctors, weaned myself off of one of the meds, the antidepressants since I was on two of them, through a transition. I am now on Wellbutrin.
