Thankyou everyone for the great insights. My body has always been very strange in reacting to meds. Prozac and other Serotonin only meds never did a thing for me. Effexor XR being a dual reuptake worked amazing when I first took it but seemed to poop out over time. I wonder how much you can blame on the med pooping out versus if you just changed over time due to negative thinking, etc. Anyways, I've never tried a Dopamine only drug. Can somebody shed some light onto them and their effects for depression and social anxiety? Has anybody had amazing breakthroughs of success with Dopaminergic pills? Has anybody found only success with Dopaminergic pills versus Prozac or Effexor XR? I really need to get a grip on myself right now because I feel like I've totally lost my personality and it's really upsetting and frightening to me. Where is the funny upbeat guy that was the life of the party? The main difference between me a couple years ago and now was that I could be me and have a good time with people and not be insecure about my "performance" versus now I can't even be myself because I don't feel like myself. I'm so trapped in this world of insecurity that I feel like I'm having an identity crisis. I really really need to get help. Lastly, what in the world is Wellbutrin supposed to be good for because I have never seemed to read one positive aspect about it in testimony by anybody on this website and even on the web? It really seems like a waste of a drug.....all I ever hear doc's say about it is to combat sex problems from Effexor XR and other SSRI's........ Well anyways, any answers, experiences, or suggestions will be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
