In reply to Sleepy on Wellbutrin...Why? zzzzzzzzzz, posted by redscarlet on January 11, 2004, at 1:17:57
Hi:
In regard to 'Wellbutrin' about which you're describing after taking for four months, it might be 'too much' that causes you 'too tired.' Normally, WB gives you 'motivation,' 'energy.' along with 'good concentration.' Then, it's very odd to read your post as to WB. In my guess, AP, Seroquel causes you to sleep 'too much,' not 'WB.' Or, this med. mix. simply does not suit to the system/chemical of your brain.
Besides this above, Topamax and Seroquel alone might NOT alleviate the depressive side of your Bp. Your BP sounds to me like Bp II that has mostly depression. In most cases, SSRI ADs are NOT good to Bp depression, in my knowledge. Rather, some of Bp folks saying this form of med. just aggrevates your dep. symptoms further. Certainly, ... this is all individual thing, then I can't be sure. Just precautious words to say about this.
I'm fairly happy about WB, however I've been on just 200mg.-300 mg.(mostly 200 mg.) along with other meds.
In my suggestion, if WB does not offer any relief, then you might need to go other form of AD such as older form of med. 'Nardil' and the like, ... however I have no experience on those 'older form of AD,' then I can't say about this tho'.
You may need more aggresive med. regimen to get your condition under control, ... in my suggestion, try to seek a second opinion from other good pdoc. in the town.
H.G.
