I finally got to my pdoc last week--it's been months (impossible to get an appointment). I told him the 450 mgs of Wellbutrin failed and that I tapered off of it a few weeks ago...he's tried every SSRI on me (except Celexa) and didn't want to go the Remeron route because of weight gain. MAOs are out of the question because of my asthma medication...and he just looked at me funny when I brought out my research about Amisulpride and Adrafinil. He prescribed Nortriptyline. I've been on it for a little less than a week and can't stand the side effects. I feel like a zombie right after lunch. Major GI problems...you don't want to know. And I swear I've gained weight as a result of the Nortrip because I'm exercising every day and eating pretty well.
I've decided to quit altogether. I'm tired of bad side effects and I'm tired of medicines not working. I'm not sure what's next. Maybe the cognitive therapy study I posted about before.
