Does anyone hate wellbutrin as much as me? It makes me cry nonstop; zombie-like, and tired to the point where I was in bed for weeks until I disregarded my pdoc's advice to "hang in there" after six weeks. That happened 6 yrs ago. I was stupid enough to try it again with a new dr when I again complained of chronic fatigue; same results: crying, ears ringing etc. I had been on Provigil 50-100 mgs but it seemed to lose its effectiveness after I stopped 1 year of Lupron shots. So, dr. let me try 10 mg Ritalin twice a day. NOW I know what people mean when they say Provigil is smooth! Ritalin comes on so strong and I get the same crying; anxiety? when it starts to wear off. It enables me to get out of bed for a while not enough to put up with the side effects. So, I just read on this site that Wellbutrin is more similar to Ritalin than to SSRIS. (It also causes ear pressure when I stop taking it-first day of ritaling:ear pressure). So any thougthts? I have been in bed for over 3 months and feeling hopeless..again.. This chronic fatigue, depression(?) happened once before when I stopped Lupron shots. So I know the Lupron screwed up my thyroid or pituitary but I don't know how. I was FINE while on the shots. Already tried effexor, prozav, lexapro, currently take remeron but after months of using it I don't feel any different. I thought I was low dopamine depression...I hope someone has a brain that is thinking clearer than mine and can offer some suggestions. I feel like Howard Hughes without all the money!(living in my bed)
