I'm thankful for Wellbutrin because it has worked for me for quite a few years, if only partially, with absolutely no side effects. I am on Plaquinel for R.A. My rheumatologist wants me to go on Methotrexate but I'm not ready for that. If I'm good about exercising, especially aqua aerobics, I can usually manage it. Some chemicals like MSG and other food additives really trigger my R.A. but the exacerbations don't last but a couple of days. I don't know if the Wellbutrin helps my R.A. but it doesn't trigger it like the Lamictal did. My p-doc thinks Parnate with a TCA is a good combo. I'm on the amytriptaline in hopes I wont have insomnia. I'll start Parnate tomorrow or Friday (8 or 9 days off Wellbutrin). I'm wondering if 14 days would be better?
I am starting on 10mg but have a note in to my doc to see if I can start on 5mg, but vaguely remember someone saying not to cut a parnate pill? I'm psyched to start it and really hopeful it will work for me! Thanks for your response! Gayle
