> On my pdoc's comment about opiates and buph. He says that buph is a "dirty" drug. I would still be willing to potentially waste one day to to find out for myself.That's my outlook. Nothing to lose.
> 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.
I could foresee problems...
> 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 embarrassingTell me about. The psychomotor retardation I suffer from replicates the symptoms you describe. Part of the reasom I'm no longer sociable is that my brain just doesn't work fast or well enough to engage in conversation. It's a real effort & is slightly demeaning; people think you're a lot 'slower' than you really are. As you say, writing's a little (but not much) easier probably because you have longer to think. The fact that I'm in a perpetual state of derealisation doesn't help; common-usage words often appear new or foreign.
But to answer yr Q; I don't think Wellbutrin is making anything worse. I'm up to 300mg/day now & I hardly notice I'm on it. Not surprising; it's hard to know what's doing what when you're on a combo. Nothing good yet (& I'm not expecting much).>So my pdoc says, oh yea, that sounds like a not uncommon side effect from wellbutrin that *may* clear up with time.
Believe me, you would hope it resolves. Becomes a bit wearing after time.
> 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?
No not really. If anything just *more* agitation.
>I am getting words and ideas mixed up and nothing cohesive comes out.
Care-taker & lucky goods.
