In reply to Why Wellbutrin? or Klonopin? or Ritalin?, posted by greenscreen on January 20, 2005, at 15:30:27
Someone here is going to move your post over to Psycho-Babble, which is the Board where meds are discussed. I'm sure you can get lots of help there. Before you're sent off however, I'll just tell you that I've tried numerous drugs and combinations of drugs, and Wellbutrin is the only one that's been a definite positive. I've been taking it for years. Unfortunately it's not enough in and of itself, and finding an augmentation drug has been a long and frustrating process (still on-going). Everyone responds to these drugs very idiosyncratically. Wellbutrin is, for me, seemingly totally without side effects, although it does disrupt my sleep patterns probably, a condition which is generally easily addressed with a small amount of klonopin. I did have some side effects I think when I first started taking it, but those went away long ago. It's pretty much the only drug I've ever taken which doesn't make me feel like I'm taking a drug.
It's been a real nightmare for some others. That's what I mean about idiosyncratic responses.
Good Luck
