>>>I've only been back on Brand for a few days. I feel better, I'm not nauseous or dizzy, but I'm still not sleeping well. It may take some time to get my system back on track.
I hope you fatigue lessens. What does your doc say? Maybe, hopefully the med needs time to build up to the proper levels. That fatigue must be awful. Good luck.<<<it does feel like it will take some time to build the meds back up in the system. the fatigue is lessening quickly...a friend on the phone said we sounded wired the other afternoon/evening. guess it will take a while to balance out going from sloth to wired back to steady medium.
the pdoc wasn't keen on this trial but as with many docs their hands get tied by medicare and bean counters saving money with generics---damn the patients and their well being! it was required to try the generic to show it didn't/wouldn't work as well. three weeks or so was the limit before the decline was rapidly apparent to folks outside.
pdoc has years of notes showing less than positive responses to wellbutrin (buproprion hcl) in the instant and sustained release forms. the newest namebrand XL (once daily) was the first and only wellbutrin that didn't come along with all the GI woes of the other ones.
the dizziness and slight nausea are par for course and a trade off that is acceptible for us given our track record with meds.
right now feeling a bit uncomfortable with the amped sensations going on bodily but it will balance out soon hopefully.
how are you coming along? any difference in sleep?
