Hey Jahl,

> > I'd be interested to know. I want yr doctor! :-)Okay, (This is a repetition from another thread with Elizabeth & Lorriane, but I doubt seriously you have followed that thread).
On my pdoc's comment about opiates and buph. He says that buph is a "dirty" drug, meaning it has a lot of side effects and he has seen complications mixing other meds with it. Also that he doesn't buy that tolerance is not developed as it is for full opiates. That was as long as any answer I get. Really. Anyway, I think you can believe the side effects part. I would still be willing to potentially waste one day to to find out for myself. I mean what if this guy gets runs over by a truck? Not that I wouldn't have compassion for his family, < g >; but what about *me*? I can see not having any records available and trying to persuade some new pdoc that my meds for depression and DD are oxy and valium. Like yea, sure.
> > Here's hoping the Wellbutrin's better than the Parnate (couldn't have been much worse, huh?).....
Well, here's the problem with Wellbutrin. It's making explaining things really difficult for me. (Verbal inarticulation, because I think I'm still doing okay on paper.) When I am talking to a potential client and trying to explain what their options are and what I charge for each, I am getting words and ideas mixed up and nothing cohesive comes out. It's really embarrassing--like I'm not clear of my own price structure. So my pdoc says, oh yea, that sounds like a not uncommon side effect from wellbutrin that *may* clear up with time. He's even had people on wellbutrin start to stutter.
My tongue also feels a bit heavy which I guess people have referred to as a cotton in the mouth feeling. I feel a bit like I'm lisping. Did you or do you experience these verbal/oral side effects? If you did, has it gone away? What dose up you up to?
Thanks, Shellli
