Well I can relate to your story about planning/worry about classes, ect. I'm overanalytical like that and do waste a lot of energy just worrying about everything and every possibility!
Yeah I know I haven't tried enough SSRI's, but one of the main reasons I stopped is because of the major weight gain with all of them(the reason for switching off Paxil/Buspar so soon). I know Wellbutrin shouldn't cause this, but it did. So I'm completely opposed to any medication with serotonin reuptake, no matter what the claims of potential side effects may be.
Too bad b/c everyone's answer to everything these days is SSRI's. There are so many to try, they can just keep throwing them out at you. I haven't experienced this with my doc actually, since I haven't pursued depression enough, but thats the way most practices run now.
