> Yeah. I'd say try putting Thyroid meds back to what they were (since that obviously wasn't the prob and, well, you were on that dosage for a reason) and try reducing the Wellbutrin. You'll have to try to find a different AD that's equally effective for you, but hopefully the loss of edema will give you the boost to get through that in-between time that can be so hard.

I can't wait to mention information such as what you've relayed to me to my pdoc! I do believe that he'll have to admit that there might just possibly be a correlation b/t my psych meds (ie Wellbutrin) and the pitting edema in my legs!
Additionally, I agree with you in regards to the thyroid hormones. I'm going to seriously discuss with my dear pdoc, stopping this Wellbutrin and finding another AD. It is indeed a challenging thing having to return to the abyss and search for that elusive AD which just might be the one!
It's definitely not s/th of which I look forward (sigh).Nevertheless, I do plan on making use of your suggestion that I concentrate on how wonderful it'll be having legs that aren't painfully pitting and swollen! That's a fantastic idea! (smile)
One thing that I know is going to make a positive impact throughout this ordeal, is my being able to communicate with others, just like yourself and so many on this site, who have the experience and insight in which allows one to understand and relate to these type of experiences.
It's a relief for me to know that there are those who understood; and by their doing so... I'm thus, not alone! (small smile)
The ever hopeful! (huge grin)
