Sal,
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I think that all the responders have been right. I will not make any big decisions right now.
Thank you for the hope in regards to the sex stuff. I have a friend who is a nurse who is also on psychotropics and she has told me to stay the course too. She says that most likely I'll need a few more weeks to stabilize, especially in light of the sinus infection. :-(
I'll have to download aol instant messenger.... I'll try to find you tonight if it all works.... Thanks.
To everyone, thank you. I could use as much support as I can get now... Help me to stay the course.
Also, I have been seeing spots every now and then. I think that they look like small gnats, they aren't. I think that this might be a side-effect of one of the meds... It could be the sinus infection... I'll keep you posted...
Thank you! Thank you! for all of the support!! ;-)

> Celexa and Wellbutrin is an awesome combination. Serotonin is boosted once, norepinephrine twice, and dopamine once too. And you said it was working, so stay the course. Remember that even as you start having more good days, the medication will forget to help you every once in a while for a day and you will still have one or two bad days a month. That's just the nature of psychotropic medicines. So, "stay the course" for now.

> Pharmacological treatment could lead to better sex. In the case of Wellbutrin, I can prove how that helps sexuality a zillion times. Also, mirtazapine is excellent in that regard via 5HT-2C sexual appetite stimulation. So don't give up on your sexuality with that guy.
