I guess im just a bit confused,,, the pdoc says to me " I want to give you an SSRI to start with and see how that does" but then I mentioned chantix to stop smoking and she said well ill give you wellbutrin , which is NOT an SSRI but is actually the total opposite....
I hate to admit that when I heard that it only helps with depression and doesnt "hurt" my hypomania, I was relieved... I think that was one of my biggest fears ... losing my hypomania.... I know thats terrible :( but its the truth.
I am taking 75 mgs in the morning and then another 75 mgs at noon .... When i took it yesterday , I did get a small rush of energy.. I felt happy for an hour or so .. but i did take it with my starbucks mocha latte with 5 shots of espresso, so perhaps that had something to do with the little lift I got ha ha
I had a few issues with the kids last night ... ( not listening , had to tell them 10-12 times to do something, and I only get attitude) which usually turns into a nightmare with me screaming and losing my mind and having to leave the room ... I found myself to be very calm, and I was able to deal with them and the whining , arguing etc .... and it didnt bother me as much ... therefore it was over sooner, bc my getting upset usually adds fuel to the fire and we all get into a brawl .....
I got really tired and went to sleep at 930 last night , but still felt sluggish and hit the snooze button when it went off at 5 am .
If this pill works, I would be extremley happy... It is apparently for some a miracle drug... helps with depression, weight loss, smoking cessation, and increased sex drive...
It almost sounds too good to be true... so im holding back my excitement for now :)
