Simus,
Thanks for answering! Are you only on Wellbutrin now? What made you change and how are your symptoms on WB? How long have you been on it? My doc cautioned me not to take decongestants or drink a lot of coffee. Did you notice any increase ni blood pressure or even just palpitations? I started all this due to a diagnosis of PMDD (I'm 40 & perimenopausal) combined with some life changes that were increasing my depression and anxiety.
I'm expecting the insomnia and am armed with Melatonin! I'm also expecting some agitation/hyperness due to the "activating" effect of WB, and I can usually handle that sort of behavior pretty well. I have a few more days of the 10mg of Lex and by this weekend I can switch. I'm anxious to get started and see how the new med feels.
Thanks again for answering and sorry for so many questions, but this is once again new territory!
~ Lynne
