> ... It's just I'm putting a lot of hope on wellbutrin to somehow bring out the person I can be... The facts that you have givin get me excited to try it but i am, as silly as it sounds scared to see this med fail.
That's not at all silly. Not one bit. But when it comes to meds, "putting all your eggs in one basket" can set yourself up for disappointment. Have hope, but remember you'll need to give whatever you try next some time to work.
> ... And tca's have an increase in side effects i've heard.Seems like we have an unofficial TCA fan club around here (ooh! me! me!). There are a number of TCAs with favorable side effect profiles, and it seems that the marketing efforts of the SSRI manufacturers were overstating their advantages. But what it gets down to, I think, is this: If you don't have a problem with transmitter A, then any med affecting A is going to be "dirty". If you do have a problem with A, then any med affecting A is less likely to be "dirty". SSRIs ripped me to shreds, TCAs don't and one of the two I've tried helps dramatically. I doubt my problems are based in my seratonin levels. Knowhutimean?
So, what you've heard may not apply to you.
good luck!
