>Hi, Ame!
Hi there!
> such urgency!:)
You bet! My head hurts from thinking, lol.
> i'm not sure which is best, but my vote is definitely for trying wellbutrin first. it can affect people differently so there's no way to predict if it's *the* best or not, but concerning side effects it definitely is; i wouldn't go with the tricyclics unless you have to. just my 2 cents.....hope somebody else responds......
<sigh> I still just don't know... they all sound like good ideas, and, let's face it, I'm not going to pick a winner on the first try just by analyzing the drugs' subjective effects. I'm just gonna have to try them one at a time... doesn't matter much what order I suppose.
> i would listen to these guys.....wellbutrin is prescribed for panic disorders yet people report that it causes anxiety....i'm so confused.
Actually, I've never heard of Wellbutrin being prescribed for panic disorder... I could be wrong of course. But I believe it's generally reserved for certain types of depressives, ADDers and recovering stimulant addicts. Practically every doctor I've seen wouldn't even consider Wellbutrin because of the potential to provoke anxiety.
> having never taken wellbutrin i can't say either way...if you take my advice and your anxiety increases i'm going to feel really bad, and i only responded b/c i thought no one else had. i think i change my vote.
lol, if I go on the Wellbutrin, it's definitely my fault alone if I end up miserable. And now that I've really gotten to thinking about these three drugs, I think I really am starting to lean much more toward an Eldepryl + Stalevo + DL-phenylalanine combination. I'll be sure to keep you updated, whatever happens!
