SO, now my neurologist added a pill for my nerve pain: neurtonin. I get home and google it (like I do everything) and see it's taken as a mood stabilizer too and could add more depression to some. So, let me update you:
8am I start my morning with 150mg wellbutrin sr.
10am 1-2 vicoden for pain
12- 200mgs neurtonin
4pm- 150mgs wellbutrin
6pm- 1-2 vicoden for pain
8pm- 10mgs lexapro
9pm- 600 mgs neutoninalso if i have any anxiety i take xanex and if my leg pain is unbearable after the vicoden i take a muscle relaxer called tizadine???
So, I'm a person who can't stand pills and used to only take lexapro and since my accident in March (car) I've had to add all of these other pills and now with my doc adding neurtonin, I'm really upset. I'm scared of how I may react. I'm scared I'm going to continue to take all of these pills and OD or something. I just want to feel better...When will I feel better???
Has anybody takin these kind of mix of pills? I need to feel secure in taking them, I'm so scared I'm shaking and think I might spin into an anxiety attack.
> I am fine taking up to 200mg of Wellbutrin. I love the Wellbutrin 150XL, but I needed more. My doc bumped me up to the next level - 300mg XL, which made me a zombie. I could barely function I was so exhausted. I took two naps a day and tried to consume my body weight in caffine. When I talked to my doctor about it, he seemed shocked. (I wonder if they ever read about the drugs they perscribe?!). He said to stick with it and maybe the sleepiness would wear off. I couldn't do that. I have a job I need to be at and alert!

> I asked to be taken down to 200mg SR. I don't like the SR as much - the XL is nice and smooth, but they don't make 200XL!

> 200 SR a day works pretty good without the sleepiness. Makes me anxious, but not depressed. Keep trying - you'll find a dose that works.
