In reply to wellbutrin, gabatril and prozac?, posted by Godzilla on April 23, 2004, at 7:21:20
> they just started me on wellbutrin today for ADD. they didn't even have me take a test to see if i have it, they just think i do. my mother is making me take it though and it scares me because i think it might take away my personality or something. i am already on prozac and gabatril. they started me on 150mg of the wellbutrin. i kind of think that is a little much, aren't they supposed to start me on it slowly or is that the lowest dose? my mom just wants me to take it because i have all D's in school. she doesn't care about anything else. i just think that all the medications are going to take me away. i don't know, it just bothers me that everyone thinks that if you have the slightest quirks then you need to get on meds right away! and that she thinks the more medicine i am on the better i will do in school.

>Hi Emily,
It depends if you actually need the drug or not & also depends on how well you handle a particular drug. The stimulant drugs will alter your personality the least. Stimulants like Ritalin & Dexedrine can help your mind focus if you truely have ADD. Are you taking gabatril for Epilepsy or because you are bipolar?
Cheers,
Panda.
