Just wanted to let any of you know who've been following my story at all that I resumed taking wellbutrin a few days ago and it's starting to work again for me already -- yay!
I was so worried that returning to it after it pooped out on me would yield no results, but I'm only on 150mg at this point and I already feel an improvement...not where I want to be yet, but odds are looking good for me after I titrate up to 300-450mg soon.
It's kind of odd that the 150mg seems to be helping me already when just a few months ago, 450mg didn't seem to be doing squat, but maybe that parnate trial did something to my brain that prepped it for a good wellbutrin response again, but whatever it was, I'm just thankful.
I may only be having about a 30% response at this point, but those of you who have ever been down in the lowest of the pits know that any measurable improvement is cause for celebration. I've actually been able to put in 2 nearly full days of work this week for the first time in months, and once I get on a full dose, I may even shed the weight I gained down in the pits and start dating again.
Wishing all of you well and hoping that my story provides some inspiration to someone out there who may have given up on wellbutrin after it pooped out on them. I know it's only been a few days of feeling better, but fortunately, I don't usually have the unfortunate experience of having a quick response and then a poop-out after just a few days like many of you do so I feel very optimistic that this will last for a while. Also, I'm going to augment with SAM-e this time, which should help enhance my response and (hopefully) help reduce the chances of it pooping out on me again.
