> This is pand0ra, I had to change my name, etc. I went to my doc the other day. I don't think I like her very much, I could hardly get a word in. She took me off Wellbutrin and was disappointed that it was causing hostility. And, that was it. Didn't do anything else. One of the main reasons she gave me the Wellbutrin was for concentration and focus and I definately noticed a change but she hasn't given me anything else for that. She wants to see me back in two weeks. Is this so that the Depakote and Topamax can stablize? The Wellbutrin can leave my system? She said she didn't want to give me an SSRI because of weight gain and sexual dysfunction, so I'm thinking I don't want one either. Any advice, information, two cents, anything will be appreciated! thank you!!
Hi,Sounds like she is concerned that antidepressants of any kind may be destabilizing you, OR (more likely) she wants to see you without the Wellbutrin *first*, to make sure that was the med that was indeed making you feel hostile. How do you feel without the WB now? Probably, when you see her in two weeks she might try something different for focus/depressive stuff. At least you only are going to wait two weeks!
