I've been on 60 mg of fluoxetine, 300mg Welbutrin and 80-mg strattera for the past 6 months. the statttera is the newest, but I've been on the other 2 for over a year. I've lost my job and insurance, unemployment doesn't give me enough for bills and COBRA. I'm going to try to get off my meds again. this time I'm experiencing some severe dizziness and headaches. I haven't gone "cold turkey" but i've just finished the last of the fluoxetine and i'm only taking half the dosage of the other two every other day. My doc would say to get the money somehow and stay on the meds. i'm wondering if he's right this time because the way i physically feel is unlike anything i've felt before....i don't like it... will it go away? I'm startign to put on weight too and it's not good weight. i can't afford to get new clothes now my pants are gettin' tight this is all new to me. Could the weight gain be associated with the reduction in meds? Should I suck it up and find a way to stay on the pills?
