I don't know if the term agitated depression or hypomania fits here.
I've been extremely restless in my mind, uncomfortable and also extremely depressed. I can not take SSRI's- they make me worse. This is my doctor's conclusion after seeing me go from functioning but a little anxiety THEN (with Lexapro) utterly depressed and unable to function.
What would be a good choice for me? I have some Wellbutrin XL that was prescribed but am terrifie to even try it again ( i took it for 2 days).
I am wondering if I should ask for a mood stabilizer with the Wellbutrin.
I am beginning to realize I have no choice any longer but to be on some type of medicine.
I have two young children, a husband, a ministry, and am finding myself getting worse and worse.
I've done ALL the natural stuff; I exercise 50 minutes a day, eat well, get enough sleep, tried St. John's Wort, Sam-E, and 5 h-tp.
I take a good multivitamin and also Magnesium.
Any ideas?
