I met with my pdoc today and further discussed the continuing downturn in mood and his suggestion of upping the Zoloft.
He thinks it's a combination of increased sucky life with Zoloft poop-out. He agreed with Cam that weight gain probably wouldn't happen with an increase in dose. He also suggested upping the Wellbutrin XL as an alternative because he said he's found WB is better at addressing feelings of no energy and inertia. So we decided to up the WB XL from 300mg to 450 and leave the Zoloft at 50mg.
I told him about the mini vacation at Saratoga Springs, and he was similarly surprised that my SO would suggest it. I also mentioned how my SO (during our argument about weight gain) said that he cared about me, and also repeated same last night on the phone. He's never said that before...typical of Aspergers. My pdoc thought that was a major change in my SO and seemed optimistic. I felt better when I saw this reaction. That maybe bringing up the weight issue is just his way (awkward, tactless way) of trying to show that he cares.
