Thanks Terra and Schuyler. I don't consume a lot of caffeine. One or two cups of coffee in the morning at the most. Never any soft drinks, but I often have a glass or two of wine with dinner. I know you aren't supposed to "drink" while on Wellbutrin. My sister took it under the "Zyban" name to help her quit smoking and got very nasty, emotional and aggressive at a holiday function we had, but she drinks a lot more than I do. I was wondering if wine (alcohol being a depressant) could possibly counteract the antidepressant effects of the Wellbutrin?
I do TRY to exercise (30-45 minutes on the treadmill) every other day. I used to enjoy my yoga tapes a lot, but am currently battling a problem with shoulder bursitis/bone spur. Which may be another reason for my worsening spirits as my favorite form of "meditation" had been working on my potter's wheel. Plus I keep forgetting to get my VCR fixed (beginning to think I've had ADD all these years and was misdiagnosed).
I may try the Trazodone at a much lower dose (if I can break the tablets that small). I have tried Ambien, too. I slept on it but did not feel refreshed the next day...sort of an unfulfilled feeling, but not a total zombie like on the traz. Went and got some sublingual B vitamins yesterday, too.
I probably should see a "pdoc" as I have discovered you call them here, but my last one is no longer on the insurance I have and we are about to change carriers again, so I'm trying to wait a month or so.
Sweet dreams!
