My reaction to Wellbutrin was that it made me feel so agitated I almost felt crazy. I gave it 3 tries, all with the same result.

My reaction to Lamictal was that it did nothing to affect my mood, all it did was made me feel a bit fatigued.

Abilify, along with all the atypicals, makes me feel agitated. It's probably the akathisia that these drugs can cause, but it was bad enough to make in unbearable.

My current therapist, who is wonderful, believes that I have experienced PTSD from emotional and verbal abuse I received ever since I was about two, combined with the incredibly violent verbal arguments my parents had, combined with my Dad's alcoholism. She also thinks I perhaps have PTSD from, of all things, ECT, because to me it was an absolutely horrifying experience, it made me feel so terrible, and to this day I have nightmares about it and flashbacks, and every morning since I had it I wake up with fear in the pit of my stomach.

Sorry for the long response, but I hope I sufficiently answered your questions Scott.
Thanks,
Kat
