My P-doc has added 150mgs of Wellbutrin (bupropion) to the mix, I take it in the afternoon, when my Adderall wears off. So, I am actually feeling worse than before, very suicidal, having a very difficult time convincing myself that I am *not* the worst thing for my kids. I have been taking the 20mgs of Prozac in the morning with 20mgs of Adderall, another 20mgs Adderall around noon, by 4pm my eyes are tearing up every couple of minutes, this keeps up 'til I take my amitriptyline and go to bed. I have also been sitting in the dark, unable to meet anyone's eyes.
My P-doc feels that the Prozac and Adderall have had a positive response from me because I clean the house all the time and have less anxiety and panic attacks. I truly feel on the edge of no return, I've told him, this is probably the worst low I've had since I was a teenager. I didn't take the prozac this morning, I know the half-life is long, so it may have no effect for however long into the future.
Here is my question, is there anyway to tell if the wellbutrin might eventually help alone, or should I just keep taking the med combo that the dr. ordered and hope for the best? I literally don't think I can take it, and I don't know which med is causing the hopelessness, it started about a month into the prozac and has only worsened, will the Wellbutrin kick in soon? And will it help or actually throw me over the edge?
