I told PCP, PDOC feels I have TRD and since alone doesn't want me trying ADs w/o someone have my back.
So, today, my PCP, WELLBUTRIN for dopamine; begin 2nite or 2moro.
I told him thot (I abbreviate like text messaging everywhere I write these days o_o.) needed something work w/ dopamine. He said Wellbrutin. What you all say?I'm to begin in a.m.
All good and bad reviews gladly welcomed.
No worries scare me into feeling something isn't there. POS can't hurt me now.
Tk gdness for alprazolam.
Made a deal w/ PCP re: detox May if get into Scottsd*le; good docs and nurses and behavioral health staff; all areas covered.
I'm as low as I can go and still be breathing. I'm not expecting anything fab', so won't set myself up for it.
PCP gave me name of a guru. Where is that piece of paper I wrote it on? I'll find.
I'M SO GRATEFUL I HAVE YOU ALL.
Peeps don't like me and I don't understand. Naybur(sp. wrong delibertely) downstairs turned my water off becuz' she'd been stealing mine, and last eve' when noticed she hooked to my spiget, I knocked and waited patiently. I heard them talking inside, but ignored my knock and doorbell ring.
Not strong enuf' unhook hose and transfer, so, did a wrong thing, a two wrong things don't make a right 'wrong' thing. I turned her faucet on half-blast and came upstairs. Went down later to be sure it not still running. She'd taken her hose off my spiget and into her condo. They aren't allowed to even be hung outside, but that isn't anything I'd ever care about. She was using the water I was paying for w/ my scraped 2gether pennies.
Awoke to no water and 9a doc appt 30m away. No water; no shower or tooth brushing.Arrived home, and naybur next door ignored me and said 'can't u see I'm on the phone as I began to share my situation w/ he and his mother I believe'.
Why does no one like me?
The renter below slammed the door in my face when I said I'm not a tweaker months ago; maybe a year. RDM had been here over night and cleaned my carpet while I was sleeping. Think she assumed I a tweaker. I went down and knocked and heard her by the door and said, 'I just want to talk to you' the next day. She opened it, looked at me, and slammed it in my face.
She's been mean every since. She talks to other people about me, I think, becuz' I've 'un'friends I've never even met.
And, now, she had been hooking up her hose to my spiget(sp?). She'd been warned b4 but just kept doing it. I know 2wrongs not make 1right, but turned her water on half-blast running freely onto ground, came upstairs. Checked later and her hose was gone; removed from my spiget. (It was made clear by HOA manager whose spiget was whose, in case you are wondering. Poor HOA mgr.)
Well, this morning awoke to no water, rushing, no shower or brushing of teeth. Called water company. Think people won't do bad things, but they let me down.
Came home from doc's office and she'd turned my valve off.
I've been crying for hours now, since the guy next door pretty much said 'I'm on the phone (He was pointing at the phone as he said it, as if I not know a phone when see it. A woman was w/ him and was talking to her mainly. She followed his leads; ignoring me.
I'm so sad. Peeps take a disliking to me. I think peeps here know I have a behavioral health illsess and I enjoy hurting me.
She had a guy friend come and threaten me in the past. Bad vibes penetrate my floor and me.
I used to have many friends and was so loving and caring for people. What's wrong w/ me? The borderline thing, guess. See, I DON'T SEE IT, ya' know?
I approached she and son w/ cookies when they moved her. She's a stri**er down old metro and makes much $ and prob' near half my age. What happened to 'respect ur elders'?
She spread the word about me and now other nayburs treat me like she. So feel very badly.
Are there really that many peeps who are a**holes? They seem to be drawn to me like I'm a magnet.
I say to myself 'I can't do anything right'.(?)
Sorry the run-on sentences. Are you gettin' my big drifts here? Too tired from hurting and crying to return/para.
And ya' know I'd had a pretty good day picking out some little bunny gifts for the wee ones, my four little short peeps.
Hope hear from some of you. Know I'm now two hours or three hours ealier than you. U sprang forward and I don't move.
I'm listening to Bonnie, drinking Pepsi and sort of wishing it was Mich Dry (don't make anymore).
I'm tempted to call my RDM 4 comfort, but not 'that' tempted.
Want to crawl in a hole, embarrassed allow others affect/effect (don't GAS) me in such a way, obvious by by red eyes and nose and droopy eyes from cryin'. No worry; not calling RDM.
U ARE MY BEST FRIENDS ... u and u and u and all the others of u.
I didn't used to be such 'a needer'. Not like.
Ok, back 2 Wellbutrin.
Tell me pls ur updowns and the lowdowns.
POS no worry.
I realize prob' repeating self. Nervous and need cig, and listen to Road Tested again.
OK I'VE OBVIOUSLY 'REPEATED' BELOW. TOO OUTCONFUSED TO PULL THIS 2-GETHER SO TO ANY1 WHO TRIES, THANK-YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Let's see what was this post about again? o_o
WELLBUTRIN alone, along w/ my alprazolam and pain meds.
What think?
Sad as well over other issue; man of my beautiful daughter's love, father of two wee ones, may get 4-6yrs.
Cried myself to sleep last night 4 the pain I know of not having access to the one I love. She has a really good job, bought house, moved in 2wks back, and now; well u get pic'. First love still in, in another state. Second, ruled suicide. And now this, third. Just moved to her own home, children all happy, and she may not be able to make mortgage payments.
Unlike me, she's tough, or tougher, or not as easily hurt. Think she knows a Fukitol drug rep. It may be a mask. Some day may fall off. But for now she is doing what works for her. I've never had one of those masks; couldn't find a fit.
Day was nice till realized naybur shut off water. Bought a few bunny basket items; necklaces w/ bubble juice and little blower hanging on them, blow and twirls (What do you call those anyway?) on top of a pen, soccer ball, fabric beach/tote bags; one boy and three girls.
I went to grocery and got choc cupcakes w/ bunny finger rings on top of icing and fruit mix for our Easter experience, for which we have no place to have the experience.(?)
Somebody else take the wheel please. I'm hurt and so embarrassed about crying and being lonely. Hope someone has a little time to be w/ me here a bit b4 bed.
Guess already mentioned our time differences.
Hey, made a 'verbal agreement' detox June if Scotts.
SCOOP ON WELLBUTRIN pls?
Wish u were here 'cuz from the looks of this post, I need some company real bad. Maybe better call RDM over
PLS TALK 2 ME, 5f

Forgot mention, PCP was going to go w/ nortriptyline because of chronic neck/head pain.
But, think tried that couple yrs back w/o success, and so, I mentioned 'dopamine'.
He then said Wellbutrin is best for dopamine.
Apologize said 'HOPE SOMEONE CAN TALK TO ME'.
I don't ever want pressure any of you to respond when you're not in the right time or place to do so. Maybe sometimes you kind of don't like me too? Do some of you not understand me? Do some of you think I'm not nice or not smart or flighty. I'm serious.
What is it about me that is such a freakin' turn off? I could take it from you friends.

Hey
>don't really follow your thread but you want to know about wellbutrin?
Yes, PCP wrote for one a day, don't know strength as didn't look @ scrip and haven't picked up yet. I've never heard of any1 taking it alone; rather I've heard it taken alongside another AD, so don't know what to expect. I think I did try it once and remember getting out of bed and feeling heavy, really heavy and slow. Prob' d.c.'d it shortly thereafter; hate it I do that. Maybe try stick w/ it at least a week, ya' think?
>I didn't do well on it as it made me very anxious>
Well I certainly don't need anymore anxiety. I'm rather critically anxious.
>but that's me you may do well.>
Yeah ... diff' strokes.
>Now what is the detox for if you dont mind me asking.>
Although I did receive an injury to my c-spine, I'm pretty high on my Percocet and PCP wants me 'to live w/o it', but my fear is I'll not be able to live w/ the pain. B4 he tries to get me into a preferred ctr here doing another MRI. Hope get a really good radiologist to read it as have 'lost' four old ones. (Think they disappeared into the hands of a starving artist.)
>Also have tried to mail and not successful.>
Will do a test.

tks, 5f

FF heard of it used alone a lot mine was but with benzos. How high don't have to answer is the percocet? Can you try to reduce slowly on own? Had the shots? You know the ones with cortisone may be other meds used now. Neighbor has a fentanyl patch but she's much older. I feel from what she told me as her Son also has disc problems that in our area some of docs are totally against the patches in younger people prefer anti-inflammatory meds and PT. Phillipa

> FF heard of it used alone a lot mine was but with benzos. How high don't have to answer is the percocet?>
10/650mg 3x a day
>Can you try to reduce slowly on own?>
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I've been on it probably going on five years or so. Torturrrrrrreeee!
>Had the shots? You know the ones with cortisone may be other meds used now.>
Epidurals in my head, in my neck, and all around in my back not successful at all! They injected triamcinolone and I think this is the reason I had no relief. Asked doc if could inject a stronger medium and said 'no'.
I did have some relief from *trigger point injections*, but the docs don't like to give you these often; think they don't like to do over 3-5 a year or so.(?)It's a steroid and I guess this is why.
But, if this is all that works, and my MRI doesn't prove me a surgical candidate, I would need them once a month as they last just short of four weeks.
When I was given them, I was already on Perc, so couldn't just stop med because no pain there; very hard to deal w/ the tremendous anxiety of a strong painkiller vanishing from your system.
>Neighbor has a fentanyl patch but she's much older. I feel from what she told me as her Son also has disc problems that in our area some of docs are totally against the patches in younger people prefer anti-inflammatory meds and PT.>
Seems docs are 'waiting for it to get worse or me to get older or something'. I actually had a chance to try a fentanyl patch and they work, butt, I fell asleep, left it on too long, and, well, I don't remember the entire weekend.
I disdain morphine sulfate or nevre want to get into the Oxycontin scene if don't need.
I'm on an anti-inflammatory and an NSAID.
Unfortunately, PT was not successful at all for me. Being have poor-peep insurance, wasn't offered enough therapy to control pain.

and: We are totally off topic, huh? I'm a 'confuzzy lonely wishIwasanEasterBunny' person today.

FF a smaller piece of the patch? No other suggestions but vicodin for breakthrough pain. Phillipa or a lower dose of patch? Have to be careful with disposal as they can be used by another I've heard from neighbor.
