Hi Ed,
> I hope the Wellbutrin drowsiness subsides. (I'm not confusing your meds with someone else I hope!)
Thanks...that's me all right. I'm trying to pin this one down. I was really hoping it would give me an energy boost. But it is helping with pain, and that ain't too shabby. Maybe my DA receptors have become down-regulated. But you would think that by blocking DA reuptake a med like Wellbutrin would overcome this, to a degree at least, by making more DA available in the synapse. They may be so hyporesponsive, however, that only a good flogging with a true stimulant like Dexedrine can rouse them back into action. Of course if I try Dexedrine (or Aderall, or Ritalin, etc.) and they also make me tired, I may be dealing with a totally different problem. Like an over sensitive autoreceptor. Which is a lot harder to address. Knowing my screwed up brain it will inevitably be the worst case scenario. But than again I'm only on day 4 of Wellbutrin, so I might be getting a little ahead of myself. :-)
Sorry. I don't want to take this thread off of the original topic. Maybe I'll start a knew one: "Screwed Up Synapses..."
