For chrissake, I'm only 25....aren't I?

Heh.

I had a really rough day yesterday that culminated in an awful panic attack. Has anyone else had bad side effects switching back from generic to brand name Wellbutrin? The generic didn't work right and I didn't have problems with the brand before, but it's been a couple of weeks of ick tryng to switch back. I need to get better. I can't keep ending the day with nausea and panic attacks.

Kristin, Wellbutrin in general seems to make me agitated; whether that translates to full-blown panic attacks, I'm not sure. I know that I have had panic attacks on Wellbutrin, but I can't say if they're related. (Although I never ever had a panic attack on Zoloft.)

Wellbutin doesn't affect serotonin, which might be something that I need, so my doctor added back a v. low dose of Zoloft. We'll see what happens.

Maybe you could do that (or add in a v. low dose of a different SSRI)? Also, w/r/t the nausea, could you try reducing your Wellbutrin dose?

I'm actually going to ask to switch to a new anti-depressant because of something similar. The 'butrin has never made me have a panic attack, but it started making me incredibly irritable.

And before anyone points out that I am, in general, irritable all the time, yes I know. I mean CRAZY irritable, almost uncontrollably so. And I DON'T need an enhancer for super-cranky.

I have an appointment in April with a depression center. In the meantime, I've been doing okay with nothing.

You went off the Wellbutrin? Goddamn I need to pay more attention.

I quit everything.

That's exactly what it does to me. I *think* the addition of Zoloft is helping, and my unscientific deduction is that I simply need a serotonin boost to make my neurochesmistry act right.

You went off the Wellbutrin?

Yeah, about six weeks ago.

Goddamn I need to pay more attention.

Well, babe, you're kinda busy, what with the full-time job, full-time school and full-time mom stuff.

I mean, you're three people without the benefit of being Dr. Manhattan.

Which is good, because the giant blue schlong would be off-putting.

WHITEFONT! *w*

Woke up to a snowplow scraping our street. I hadn't even realized we were due for snow last night. Geeesh. And this was after CJ had a nightmare and came into my room at 3:45 this morning. The boy will sleepwalk when he gets upset like that and it is almost impossible to calm him down and get him back to bed.

Gronk, gronk, gronkity, gronk.

Timilies all.

In all that I accomplished with my day off, getting the mail was the worst idea. It brought the furniture bill. I thought I'd knocked it down a chunk. Seems I *thought* about knocking it down a chunk. As a result, trike plans are postponed a few months.

Secondly, a hive question. Toothbrush. I have the Crest dual action battery toothbrush. I really like the spinny AND side-to-side action. But hate the inconsistency due to battery strength, and the "oh, I'm disposable, and don't feel like working this morning" aspect of it. I was wondering what toothbrushes is recomended. I am thinking rechargeable. Should travel fairly easy. And have dual action. What brands to look at, and run away from? Thanks!

Off to another long day. Seems they repositioned the projector, so now I get to edit all the slides in the show before rehearsal. Joy.
