Indeed today I was prescribed Wellbutrin which apparently affects NE.

Oh that's an interesting piece of info. Makes me kind mad, too, since I've been significantly depressed for a long time and keep getting SSRIs thrown at me.

I think it may just be ongoing insomnia, personally, which certainly doesn't help. I felt significantly better today than in the past few days and the only difference has been more sleep.

There was a time when I was playing the "just prescribe me anything I'll take it" game, which proved rather miserable as well.
