I had a long ride on prozac. I did well on it for about 7-8 years. But it became ineffective and the side effects increased and became intolerable. Xanax helped extend the ride by helping with insomnia and anxiety. Neurontin later helped with the urinary urgency and frequency, and body temperature swings I later developed. Eventually I became perpetually constipated and depression returned.
Pdoc switched me to Wellbutrin. Began having headaches bordering on migraines and instant constipation. After increase became extemely irritable and short tempered, blowing up over trivial things, like road rage. I also began all day binging on food and I could not stop myself. Wierd. My Pdoc told me to stop medication and made an appointment for Tuesday.
Please help!!! I need suggestions for new med. I have no energy, motivation and SEVERE depression without meds. ALL suggestions based on your personal experiences welcome!!!
