Hey, for the past eight weeks, I've been on a combo
of Buspar and Wellbutrin. At first, the WB really wigged me out, but I was determined to ride it out because I was so sick of the weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and fatigue I had with Paxil. WB seemed like the best drug to take to avoid those three side effects. Well, because of the irritability and speediness, I added Buspar to the regimen. The first few weeks were good: motivated, energized, not depressed. Lately, though some scary things have been happening. Some problems that I'd had as a kid have been comming back. For example, I get severe rages. Sometimes the simplest things set me off, and it's all I can do to keep from screaming and destroying things (including myself). It's like I want to break dishes and windows, and pull my hair out. It's bad. Also, I've had a recurrence of some tics I had as a kid. Nose wiggling, mouth wiggling, moving my diaphram up and down, etc. It's scary. I don't know if the drugs are causing these symptoms, but it really seems like they are. I'm scared of developing a permanent movement disorder. Today, I'm going to make an appointment to see my doc. In the meantime, does anybody have any comments?
