> I am not sure what to do. I upped my dosage around the first of December because I was staying depressed since before Thanksgiving. I think the holidays may have something to do with it as I never do well during them, I think I have always had seasonal affective disorder and this was the first holidays without my beloved grandmother. However, be that as it may, I stayed busy enough that the holidays weren't too bad, but as soon as everything was over, I felt like I crashed. So, about a week ago, I started taking Wellbutrin with Lexapro to see if that helps. I seem to just not be able to get up and do it in the mornings. I get better as the day wears on. But, the bad part is I can really feel the disease lying to me again and putting negative thoughts in my head although I try to push them out. I hope this helps. I am hanging in there. If I have to increase or the Wellbutrin winds up helping, then so be it! Take care and you have helped me alot over the last few months. I truly wish you the best!
I'm doing much better today, and hope you are *coping*. I too felt the *crash* after the holidays, partially because I worked long hard hours, and a lot has to do w/fact that Mom-in-Law passed away 1 year ago on Jan. 1, which also happens to be my Birthday. I didn't even want to put up a tree this year but Hubby insisted, said it just wouldn't be right not put it up even if it was just the 2 of us.
I too have experienced a recurrence of impatience w/hubby, annoyance at the stupidity on TV, road impatience (as opposed to RAGE), and I just had period and could feel PMS uncomfortable where I haven't in recent months. Still a bit irritable and it's the week after already!
A lot of people post here that they take the Wel/Lex combo. I dread the thought of adding another med...it was so hard for me to decide to take Lex and stay with it.
I hope you come back often and update on your progress, interested in how well you do on this combo and hope for the best for you.~~~8|8
