femlite,
Thanks so much for your support. This is the second day without Wellbutrin and I feel good. I feel like my Klonopin is working.... which is something I did not feel was happening on WB. Or, at the very least, it wasn't taking care of the possible WB induced anxiety. I'm more positive and actually am going on errands prior to my appt. this afternoon. (good for an agoraphobe)
The holiday and the two days after were AWFUL and I felt horrible.
I do feel a bit like the kid who has to tell a parent, I failed a test. My Dr. is good and we do have open communication - although, I'm quite frustrating at times.
I don't really met the criteria for BP. I've never been manic and my depression seems to "slide" in. I don't equate it with cycling and swings. I guess it's not totally out of the realm of possibility.
I truly think my PRIMARY issue is with anxiety and whether the depressive symptoms are, just that - in and of themselves, or due to poor anxiety control, or the benzo use - I guess I can't say really. Most docs don't accept an anxiety disorder as a free standing diagnosis, in particular, when depressive symptoms are involved also.
I've tried three different AD's and I'm shellshocked at this point on meds.
Fish Oil is looking real good these days to me and some "alternative" ideas.Anyway, thanks for your kind words. I hope you are working your stuff out.
I'm just thankful today is a good day. One day at a time... it ain't easy to do, but I gotta be thankful for the good days.... it's the first one in a while, actually.
My Best Wishes to you, too - hang in there,
Kelly
