> Unfortunately for me, I had the opposite reaction to WB. At the beginning of the trial it made me very tired and sick, then I felt good for a very brief time and then the extreme, crawling out of my skin agitation began and NOTHING the pdoc threw at it could stop it. I had to stop taking the WB and it took a month or two to regroup (no withdrawal syndrome, though, which was nice for once!)

> I will keep my fingers crossed for you!I just talked to my doc and he said to hang in there. He said if I am bipolar then it wont get better but if its just depression and anxiety, then give it a couple weeks and it may get better. He has a lot of experience with MAOI's so I best wait it out and see. I asked him about lyrica but he didnt want to mix two new drugs together so I have to grin and bear it. My close friend thinks I will get better in that time frame and to just hang on. Who knows, I could be a trail blazer for some who come after me, so I guess I have to try to survive one day and one hour at a time. I am self employed and managed to do some work today so that was a good thing.
