I've been reading through all the message boards on here and others tonight. I am noticing that everyone seemingly has different side effects.
For instance I get speeded in Welbutrin some people get slowed down. I dont have pains etc.. others do. Strattera made me fatigued 1 week and in one day I increase lamictal i feel great. Concerta like ritlan does nothing for my ADD, but others it helps. Strattera helps my ADD but does nothing for others,
Does anybody see my point? Personally I find these results frustrating because with all the different brain chemistrys i question if we are even helping each other.
I bring this up because I read so many discouraging reports on Strattera that i quit. If my P-doc would not have been assertive and logical I might be missing these good adhd helping effects.
The same goes for wellbutrin for me. 3 years ago I through wellbutrin sr out the door. For three years i have been fighting this sleepy fatigued depression. My other p-doc (i have 3 p-docs) said to try Wellbutrin xl. This gave me my life back in which my appatite was curbed, I went to gym everyday and lost 60 pounds now. My weight went from obese to normal. This is a huge success.
I guess my point is i am getting more anazed everyday by the different results we are all having.
Thoughts anyone?
