To all a Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, & Happy New Year! If any of you remember my posts as, "trx resistant" read my new name! I want to thank all of you and Dr. bob site for your tremendous support. I am deeply and profoundly grateful. If I can help anyone, please post.
I started patch in October. Scared because of past Wellbutrin induced seizures. But Astounder, Larry, and Robert got me through the beginning. I'm getting my life back. Really kicked into gear around week 10. Went from 6mg for 4 wks to 9 mgs for 3 days - way too much. My personal almost perfect dose is half a patch - 3mg., 1mg Xanax XR to take the edge off a too wired feeling.
Last fall I was thinking (almost planning) suicide. But to all you lonely broken individuals like myself, please believe if you leave no stone unturned you should find help. It's taken me 9 years!!!
Now my problem is I'm so scared because I feel so good I'm afraid something will happen and I will have to stop taking this. Despite what Astounder said, my neurologiist is not convinced that it won't induce seizures, even at such a low dosage. I'm experiencing some numbness around my mouth the last 2-3 weeks that feels weird. So he put me on 25mg of Topamax to protect me and I'm getting brain scan this week.
But to all I can now believe that life may not be over and/or that I lived the best part in my first 36 years before my husband died. I am embracing every moment. Again thank you all!
