Start or withdraw from meds and cut out the middleman. Make your own movies in your sleep.
I'm going back to a place... Quitting wellbutrin/neurotin combo. I need to get back to real - which is being hypnotized by movies like the "Family Man" - another version of "Groundhog Day". Who needs the "Matrix"?
Anyway, I'm combining alcohol with wellbutrin and neurotin. Not concerned about the side effects just wanted to reassure the webmaster that this was an Rx question.
Decided (too strong a word) that I would risk seizures to mix meds and alcohol.
I used to be "born again". There was a change of heart, a real deep change. Incredible Peace. Love too. But I still find Life completely meaningless and still - at least in my head - find God unreal. Don't love or know God.
But the heart has still been changed.

>Verne,
I do that a lot! Love to sleep, 'specially when in the 'pit'.> I'm going back to a place... Quitting wellbutrin/neurotin combo. I need to get back to real - which is being hypnotized by movies like the "Family Man" - another version of "Groundhog Day". Who needs the "Matrix"?
Are you changing to s/t eelse, or just taking a a 'reality w/o meds' check? Since I never really responded to A-D's in past, I often went without b/t trials, just for the sake of self-evaluation. (But, I am not bipolar, suicidal or schizophrenic). So, I felt 'safish' doing so.
> Anyway, I'm combining alcohol with wellbutrin and neurotin.

Drinking a lot (every day) or a bit? Do be careful in making this choice. I have done this once or twice on WB ER.

> I used to be "born again". There was a change of heart, a real deep change. Incredible Peace. Love too.I'm glad u found feelings of peace & love. Do u attend services of any kind now?
> But I still find Life completely meaningless and still - at least in my head - find God unreal. Don't love or know GodNow, you're thinking the 'deep thoughts'. Finding love, peace, God, life purpose, serenity, meaning in existence, etc., is a life-long process. I don't believe it suddenly falls upon you when you 'get saved'. The holy spirit does not fly down one time in the form of a dove and bless you with complete knowledge, understanding & intimacy w/the god force. Didn't Siddartha sit under a tree meditating for 5 yrs. before he was 'enlightened'?
I'm not preaching, just saying, continually seek, in all areas, for understanding and acceptance, of those things we can know, and those which will always be a mystery to man. I struggle with these thoughts continually, but, I had to accept that there is no one 'answer', but perhaps, many, to help us cope.

Dear Nightlight,
Thanks for your response. Just to get a clear head, I stopped taking both the wellbutrin and neurotin. I prefer depression over rumagging around in the dark. (but the light's better over here!)
But to what really matters. I came from a background of Bertrand Russell's, "Why I am Not a Christian" beneath the christmas tree, through 50's foster homes, to a "kicking and screaming", rebirth in the 90's.
I didn't believe in God - and still barely do - yet I was reborn. Something not of me, happened to me. I couldn't attribute it to the church or congretation. This was really bones on fire. For weeks I felt like I had a blanket over me.
I don't think a spiritual journey amounts to anything without rebirth. After that, we can do nothing.
This is the end of the thread.
