Bipolar and Psychosis, please help!?

ive been on 150 mg of wellbutrin for about a month and i dont feel like i really need it ..is it ok for me to just stop taking it since its such low mg ? thanks.



wellbutrin, can i just stop taking it ?

I have been taking wellbutrin for 2 weeks now. I was weined of citalorpam because it caused major restless legs. I went to my dr the other day and told him the wellbutrin was making me go crazy...dizzy, light headed, nausea, irritable and way more anxiety. He gave me effexor which i used to take a long time ago to try and counter act the way it makes me feal. The reason for going off the effexor was the sexual side effects so this is supposed to make me feal better but im not.Im not sure when i can get into my dr again and I really want to just stop the wellbutrin any advice?I hate this fealing its not normal.



wellbutrin makes me feal jittery should I go off it?

I attempted suicide back in 2004. I haven't been able to cry in the past 3 years. I have had 3 members of my family pass away over those last 3 years and, I have suffered through clinical Bipolar Depression, hard friendship issues, and my parent's divorce... to list a few. You'd think with all of this I would be able to cry, but I can't. I want to cry so much at times, but all I can get are watery eyes, and I can never manage to shed tears. At all of those family member's funerals, with everyone balling their eyes out... but I couldn't do anything but sit there feeling as awful as everyone else is, but I couldn't show it. I'm on medication, 400MG of Lamictal and 200MG Wellbutrin so my Bipolar depression is under control. I wasn't able to cry BEFORE I was ever put on meds...so it's not a side effect. When I get teary eyed, I keep trying to shed a tear...but it never happens. Look I'm a 17 year old guy, and I don't believe that BS that guys stop crying as they age. I don't hold back tears at all and I openly express my emotions, but I just can't manage to cry. Is there possibly a physical illness that maybe prevents me from doing so? I loved those members of my family VERY much...so it's not like they didn't mean enough to me for me to cry. And when I can't cry, I get angry about it...What's wrong with me?*I have been seeing a therapist for the past 7yrs. And see her on a biweekly basics.*I am seeing a psychiatrist. On a monthly med check basics. Or more often if needed.



Is there and illness that prevents me from crying? Why can't I cry?

I am trying to quit smoking. A few years ago my Dr. wrote me a script for Zyban and it worked quite well and quickly (in about two or three days i had no real desire to smoke). Unfortunatley the Zyban caused panic attacks, etc so i had to stop taking it.Fast forward a few years (about a week and a half ago actually). I am still trying to quit. I figured I'd bite the bullet and try Zyban again. Unfortunately, it is not covered by my insurance company anymore. My Dr. instead gave me a script for Wellbutrin XL 150. He said to take one every other day (remembering the issues I had with the Zyban). I did this for a week and it did not seem to be working. I fealt no side effects (which is good i guess) but I was still smoking like a chimney (maybe even more). I am now taking it daily (for the last 5 days now). I am starting to feel the side affects of the med now but have not noticed any less desire to smoke. I am smoking just as much. I am wondering if I should give it another couple of days or is 150 not enough (I believe with the Zyban the daily dosage was 300). Any thoughts?P.S. I also take 20mg of cipralex (Lexapro) a day. I hope that this is not affecting the Wellbutrin performance. I don't think it should as they target different chemicals in the brain, but who knows...



Wellbutrin XL 150 and smoking cessation?

So I am on two medications right now. Duloxetine [Cymbalta] and Risperidone, but that is just right now. Over the last several months I've been put on Prozac, Seroquel, Citalopram, Clonazepam, Mirtazapine, Wellbutrin and Olanzapine.I feel like I'm losing my bloody mind. Last night I woke up after 4 or 5 hours and felt a way I have never felt before. It was like absolute misery but with no feeling whatsoever. Like I could have put a bullet in my head without thinking anything of it. It was weird. I knew something was up so I tried to just get up and go about doing some stuff casually but it wasn't working out, I felt totally detached from what I was doing, it's hard to explain. Either way, I just ended up going back to bed and kind of laid there for a couple hours until I nodded off, then woke up soon after and laid around for a couple more hours. When I finally got up I didn't feel the same as I did earlier but I still didn't feel right.Tonight I took my medication as I was supposed to [I take them both about an hour before bed] and an hour and a half to two hours later I felt weird in my head. Like something pushing on my brain. I ended up spending the night just kinda doing random stuff, carrying on weird conversations in my head and playing through these endless scenarios. Just pacing around going nowhere.Now it's like 4:30 am and I've gotten no sleep [not abnormal for me, but still]. I tried taking another one of the risperidone's because they're supposed to make you drowsy, but it didn't work [I know I shouldn't mess around with anti-psychotics but still, I want my mind to stop so I can sleep]. Im thinking tomorrow I'll grab some alcohol and at least have that to help me sleep [though I need to get drunk for that to happen].But I don't know what to do. I mean, my doctor isn't being a jerk he is honestly trying what hes got to offer to help me out. As far as I know I'm being looked at as having borderline personality disorder and that's why he keeps giving me anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. But with all the meds he's given me, I've made no progress in terms of being a more stable person. I've probably just been getting worse. For example, I've got a problem with self injury, and I'm not talking small cuts or anything like that. My left arm is covered in scars from about 15 third degree burns, I've cvarved all kinds of weird statements into my arms and chest, and I've got huge gashes [I mean, stuff that really should have been stitched up] on my biceps and back. I end up doing this when my mind just goes off into some other place, and it's like somebody else is doing it and they think it's a good idea. And this has gotten worse [I've been dealing with it for about ten years but recently it's kind of exploded]. Worst part is I can't let anybody see this crap, if they do, holy christ, I couldn't imagine my families response.But I don't know what to do. No medication so far has done anything, and now this crap I'm on is weirding me out like crazy. These meds are expensive as hell too. Nearly $150 for a 30 day supply and I've got no coverage and have lost my job so I'm living off savings.What do I tell my doctor? At some point this guy is gonna throw his prescription pad right at my head or something. There's no way hes going to continue tolerating my crap and the fact that I just seem to have either no reaction or a negative reaction to anything he tries. I feel like just going in and saying 'yeah, I feel great good work, thanks' and keeping on what hes got me on now. But chances are I'll end up hanging myself or something. This man is going to lose his patients with my crap eventually.I don't know what to do. Do I tell him and risk getting the boot? Do I just give up on getting any sort of treatment? Do I just deal with the endless flood of crap in my brain?I'm at a loss here, it seems I've run out of options.I am on a waiting list for a psychotherapy clinic. I live in Ontario [Canada] so I had to find something covered by OHIP [Ontario Health Insurance Plan] as I cannot afford to pay the $100-$200/session psychotherapists charge. Unfortunately it seems getting treatment covered by OHIP is difficult, this place has a minimum six month waiting list at this point so it will be a while before I hear anything from them.And just a side note, I'm 24, and unfortunately I was raised by a man who was a lunatic and a drunk so I can't really say there has ever been a time when I was ever happy or well rounded.



How can I deal with all this medication?

So this isn't a question against medication for psychological disorders, but rather a question concerning my own history with them. About 4 years ago I started taking Lexapro with mixed results. My doctor soon upped my dosage and then added in Wellbutrin XL for some reason. Later when I switched doctors my new doctor told me to take Celexa instead of Lexapro, get rid of the Wellbutrin altogether (as it did nothing), and then added in Risperdal. That night I took the Risperdal I fell asleep at the dinner table. Soon afterward I switched from Risperdal to Seroquel, added in Ativan, and switched back to Lexapro. Then I switched to Seroquel XR, Klonopin, and stayed on Lexapro. I eventually had to get off Seroquel due to major side effects, and also because it didn't do anything but make me sleepy. I finally had some luck when I stopped taking Lexapro altogether and switched to Zoloft, but it didn't last very long. I also got Xanax and removed the Klonopin at this time. Soon I started taking Adderall with the Zoloft and just got very, very tired for some reason, and then switched to Vyvanse with my Zoloft, which I honestly had the best results with until I was napping 2-3 2 hour naps a day, in addition to my 10 hours at night. Now I am being put on Concerta with my Zoloft, and am just wondering: will this process ever end???



Medication changes, will it ever end?

So, I have been taking Wellbutrin XL for a few months and recently (about three weeks ago) got my dosage upped from 300mg daily to 450mg daily. The 300mg worked well for a while, but then I was diagnosed with severe anxiety (instead of major depression- apparently the anxiety is causing the depression because I have had NO CLUE what's wrong with me lol). The Wellbutrin helps with the depression but does nothing for my anxiety or OCD, and the 450mg dose caused me to have pretty bad insomnia (but hey, I felt good during the day!). With the Wellbutrin I feel better and don't want to eat everything I see all the time, like I did with Paxil (it caused me to gain 120 lbs... please, no fat comments, or comments about how stupid I am. I am a certified personal trainer and am used to being half this size, and I know about diet/exercise and do both daily).OK, so then today I had my follow-up with my doc, and he's changed me to Wellbutrin 300mg daily and then added Citalopram 10mg daily. Now... I have taken Paxil in the past and it helped my mood some, but caused me to gain an absurd amount of weight, and that caused me to stop taking it altogether. Paxil and Citalopram are both SSRIs, and I am terrified of trying the new med. I got off Paxil November 2009 (a little over a year ago) and have just started to take off the weight I put on... so far I have only lost 1/4th of it, after a year of dedicated trying.I have read, and was told by my doc, that Citalopram is not associated with weight gain, and is often prescribed to patients with eating disorders because of this. I'm still scared to even try it because of my experience with Paxil.Anyone on these two meds, similar doses? Advice? What's your experience?Please help, I'm so scared to even try Citalopram.



Citalopram and Wellbutrin?

I've been taking a combination of Celexa and Wellbutrin for about 8 years, but I stopped for about 6 months to see if I could naturally supplement/stimulate brain chemicals for my mood through exercise and a very specific diet. It was going ok, but I went back on my medicine, and I actually feel worse than I do without medicine. I feel really really awful and am seeing Drs about it. How is this possible?I'm really looking for advice from a Mental Health Professional, or someone familiar with these types of medicines be it Doctor or Patient......I've been on these for EIGHT years, so to say to just "stay away" is unreasonable and unhelpful here. Is it possible I've developed a resistance?



Question about Anti-Depressants?

I have been taking prozac for the last 5 years. my doctor recently changed my medication to wellbutrin. he said I can take wellbutrin and the rest of my prozac at the same time.2 weeks ago I ran out of prozac. I started just taking wellbutrin. around the same time, I believe, I started getting really bad headaches and migraines. I've never really had a bad headache or migraine before this. now they come constantly. about a few days ago, I saw my doctor and he said it wasn't my medication, but he said he'd switch it. I still haven't gotten my new medication, but I did stop taking wellbutrin. I'm still getting headaches. again, I've never really gotten headaches or migraines before this. what is wrong?



Is my medication giving me migraines and headaches?

This started right after the one time I smoked salvia 2 weeks ago (I don't know if that had anything to do with it). I bugged out on salvia. Later that day I smoked k2, and my heart started beating really fast and the burning sensation was so unbearable whenever i touched my face or any other part of my body or rubbed my arm on the bed that i went to sleep. This also caused a bit of anxiety. I wasn't tired; I just didn't want to deal with anything feeling like this, and that's why I went to sleep.I just smoked weed today and I had the same reaction. Any suggestions on how to stop these reactions from occuring (other than not smoking)? I've been smoking weed for over a year and this just started happening. As a side note, I barely ever got that high other than the first two times i smoked. Also, I've been going on and off concerta because i hav prescriptions for it, and just started taking it again last week (but i think after the day with my salvia trip and my bad reaction to k2)and ive been taking 300mg of wellbutrin for about 5 yrs. about a month ago i bugged out really bad on lsd and i thot i was dead and it was horrible.but anyway, how can i make these reactions to weed stop?Thanks.
