> For me it was Wellbutrin. I had tried prozac, luvox and effexor by themselves and I quit on Wellbutrin early on also but went back to it. If you check out the meds board, you'll find lots of people who can't tolerate it, but after I weathered the first few weeks, it became a drug which for me, essentially had no side effects. I was sort of aggravated that it hadn't been suggested to me sooner. Effexor just made me feel ill, and the other 2 made me anorgasmic. Also I was pretty well convinced that when my pdoc tried to increase my prozac, I got worse not better.

However, in all that time, it's been pretty evident that Wellbutrin did/does make a difference so while I sometime curse its ineffectiveness, I've never been inclined to stop using it.

I have had more than one pdoc. The first titrated, and the second gave me whatever I asked for. Well, today new doc new rx. I couldn't take the withdrawals anymore. He started me on Lexapro- low dose which will increase. I hope I feel better. This is awful. I have given up on trying to do it alone.
