Tardive dyskinesia. Can't remember what med brought up the concern, but it may have been the high dosage of clonazepam.
Wellbutrin? Heh, made me borderline psychotic. I was dating a particularly argumentative, thick-skulled woman at the time (dyed-in-the-wool Freudian analyst) who would not stop arguing, even after warning her I was losing control of my temper, even after telling her I was using all my weight to keep our drawer full of kitchen knives closed ... I guess she really believed I was projecting anger against my mother onto her or something. The funny thing was that there was a time when I was titrating off of Paxil (another nightmare for me) and onto Wellbutrin when it seemed like low doses of the two brought me the greatest clarity I've ever had. Quite frankly, tho, either med at full dosage was such a nightmare I would never consider experimenting with them in dual-therapy.
As for SSD, yeah, if you are under 65 you must be on disability benefits before you qualify for medical benefits. Now, don't that just make sense? "Here! We'll give you enough money to live at the poverty line for two years while you have a medical condition that prevents you from working. If you're still alive after that, perhaps we can help you then."
Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.
