> Knock Knock are you this selfish in real life?willyee,
Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down. You've been asked to be civil in the past, so I am blocking you from posting. I've asked Dr. Bob to determine the duration of the block.
Also, as a reminder, there are no "rules" on this site for when to use all caps in posting. It's reasonable to ask someone (in a civil manner, of course) to refrain from using them if you dislike the styled. Interpreting someone's intent in using them is a slippery slope.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civilFollow-ups regarding these issues should of course be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions. Thus, you can always appeal this decision to him, and he may choose a different action.
Regards,
deputy gg

I have tried to help as many as I can. Lately I have been overwhelmed with study so can't come on here as much as I would like. PAIN, STRESS etc...is proportional...do you understand that....someone with sever akathisia could be suffering as much as someone who is suicidal. You can't QUANTIFY stress, sadness, despite sensless DSM arbritations. I am starting the med soon, and needed people to respond. Simple as that. People who are too upset or unwilling to respond- totally fine.

1. I don't hate anyone
2. How am i 'cocky'. Because i mention i am going into psychiatry?! Big deal! That doesn't make me better than anyone. I purposely don't go on and on about neuroanatomy so as to avoid sounding incoherent to some people. I never try to prioritoze myself. How long have you been on here? Look throught the many previous years and try and see all the help I've given....> Knock Knock are you this selfish in real life?
You seem to be very angry at the world, and are taking this out on me.

essentially because I am starting real soon, and i have asked before about it but no one answered. I totally am respectful of everyone here and I really do want to answer more, but, when I answer, I usually am long-winded and try to be as thorough as possible. I just has so many time constraints now, and I have been cycling lately.

Like most on this site I have suffered mental illness from early age, having multi-diagnoses, hospitilisation etc. I know I will be on psychiatric medication for the rest of my life, without it, my functional skills are not just impaired, they are thwart totally.
I don't like to see division here, I like to see solidarity and friendship. If you don't share the same objective why read or reply to my messages?

In reply to Nardil + Wellbutrin: URGENT!, posted by ace on September 27, 2006, at 22:03:40
Hi Ace,
I'm sorry for not responding to your message sooner. I've been feeling pretty crappy for the past week or so, and it's been several days since I've read any of the messages on this board.
I've taken both Wellbutrin and Nardil, but I never tried taking the two meds together, so my guess is that you'll probably find my response to be of rather limited usefulness. When I took Wellbutrin as monotherapy, I didn't get much of a response out of it at any dose (I was prescribed 150, 300, and 400 mg/day of the SR version). I did notice an extremely weak and hardly detectable antidepressant effect at all three dose levels, but it wasn't consistent and didn't seem to have much of a stimulating effect. I'd say that the only robust, consistent effects that I got from taking Wellbutrin as monotherapy were lots of nausea and appetite suppression. I did notice a partial antidepressant effect (albeit a somewhat weak one) without any drug-induced appetite suppression from combining Wellbutrin with lithium, but the lithium ultimately ended up affecting me adversely, triggering panic attacks that began several weeks after I stopped taking the Wellbutrin.
I know that you're probably not finding what I've written to be very encouraging right now, but perhaps you'll find the fact that my response to Wellbutrin alone was clearly different from my response to Wellbutrin+lithium to be of some relevance to your situation. In other words, not only is it possible that your response to Wellbutrin might be more favorable than my response to the medication was, but there is also a good chance that combining Wellbutrin with Nardil might produce a sort of synergistic effect that would be far more robust than taking either of the two meds alone (of course, the two meds could also interact with one another in a not-so-good way). I never would have predicted that Wellbutrin and lithium would have worked even remotely well together based on the way that each medication affected me when taken alone, but as I wrote, combining the two meds did produce a partial antidepressant effect -- the second best effect that I've felt to date (behind my partially homemade enteric-coated version of the silica-gel fresh Australian Nardil, of course). So, I wouldn't feel discouraged by my extremely weak response to Wellbutrin monotherapy.
If I were in your position, though, I'd probably try staying at 150 mg/day of Wellbutrin (in combination with the Nardil, of course) for at least three weeks to see what kind of response I'd get at that dose. Of course, staying at a low dose of a medication only results in prolongued misery if you're not going to respond to that lower dose, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of getting a good response out of 150 mg/day of Wellbutrin, especially with the Nardil. Sometimes less can be more, as the cliche goes.
At any rate, I wish you luck in whatever you decide to do. I'm not sure that you'll find my message to be very helpful, but I wanted to acknowledge your message and try to help in any way that I could, especially considering how helpful you've been to me in the past.

> Ace!Hi Ace,
I think I responded to a similar question from you several months ago. Nardil with bupropion is officially contraindicated. That said, I have used 90mg of Nardil augmented with 300mg of Wellbutrin SR with no problems. The Wellbutrin seemed to have less anxiety producing side effects when taken with Nardil than when taken alone. The newer Wellbutin XL was smoother for me. Bupropion has always caused some aggressiveness in me for the first few weeks. That side effect did pass. I have had very experienced PDOCs tell me the combination could kill me, but I researched it well before taking them together. No problem for me.
Take care,
Jedi

It's good to hear that some have taken these two meds together. My new pdoc recommended adding Wellbutrin. I had always thought it was contraindicated. Given the other two options he gave me, Lithium or an aytpical antipsychotic, I am leaning towards Wellbutrin.
Ace, I can't remember if you posted how you did on this. Any updates?
Thanks,
