> As for my meds, I think I can hold it together until my insurance starts in Jan. I just hope whatever doc I see can come up w/ something new b/c the last one I had told me I had tried everything out there. Kinda made me feel like I had hit a dead end.I'd say you did hit a dead end -- with that pdoc. You certainly haven't even come close to a cul de sac in terms of medications, though, let alone a dead end. Not only are there a dozen combinations that I can think of -- and I don't know nearly as much as other people here about meds -- but there are even single drugs you've never tried, if your list is comprehensive. In fact, there are CLASSES of drugs you've not tried yet. I hope that gives you some hope.
You don't mention how old you are, nor what "bored" looks like for you. I'm thinking there's more going on than maybe you're aware of. What you're calling "bored" might be residual depression, might be part of an anxiety disorder, might be a symptom of ADD, might be a sign that there's something physical going on. Most of those are treatable. I hope your new pdoc will check for ALL of those.
Good luck to you.
I do want to point something out to you, though: this site does have guidelines about what can be posted, and what maybe should be considered twice. You can find all the information about what qualifies as what in the FAQ -- http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html -- and some of what you've written about suicide might qualify as something that at least needs a warning in the subject line, so that people who are triggered by the topic can protect themselves by not reading. There are a few other things, too, that I think are helpful to be aware of, so I'm offering you the link. I'd hate to see you asked to play nicely, when you're new and don't know any of the rules, you know?
Take care. I hope things improve for you soon. (And Paxil and Wellbutrin should be a good combo? It didn't work?)
