Waking and aching

Posted by pej-Phil on April 20, 1999, at 8:23:41

I have recently gone from 300mg WellbutrinSR to 150
for a week(then stop) while gradually going up on my docs new drug of choice, Serzone. I am taking 200mg Serzone at night and sometimes supplementing with .5
to 1mg Klonopin.
In the a.m. I ache down to da bones. Been taking 2 Aleve and that seems to help considerably.
Think it's the Wellbutrin taper or the Serzone or the Klonopin, or am I just getting old?
Thanks...Phil

Phil,

let me know how the serzone goes. It's the
first AD my roomate ever took and she's done
great on it. Slept alot at first, but that seemed
to go away after a month. I'm trying St. John's
Wort, but in case it dosen't work, Serzone is
the one I want to try next (I hear it has no
sex side effects). (have tried prozac, wellbutrin,
celexa--although didn't give the celexa a fair
trial) Let me know how serzone is
for you, good luck, hope the achey bones thing
goes away soon.

when i tapered off luvox and wellbutrin (simultaneously)
i experienced that achy (right down to the bones,
exactly.) feeling also. at first i thought it was
just the luvox, but it is possible that it was
also the wellbutrin. i eased it by tapering slower
on the luvox. (possibly, you could taper the
wellbutrin longer and had the same effect?) also,
i don't recall having that achy feeling when i
started on serzone.
good luck.

Thanks for your input, took my last dose of WellSR
yesterday and feel okay. Ruth, I will be glad to let you know how Serzone works out...I did feel good at work today but I took 3x10mg Ritalin over the course of the day. Ritalin always seems to help. Phil
