Depression - I am resined to weaning off from generic wellbutrine, current script 450mg a day, now?

NO He's not renewing my perscription that I would gladly continue with primary care just don't want to go to him. All acounts should be up to me who I want to see. Just saying my opinion and I don't think I'm out of line or skewed.

That just shows you either haven't thought it thru or you are skewed. A primary doesn't order or reorder psych meds, that's what a psychiatrist is for. To stop taking a med that is helping you because you don't think you should see the doctor who will prescribe it, in my book is just plain crazy. There is no way in heck I'd stop taking effexor, just because I didn't want to go back to the doctor who orders it.

lol..believe me if he came back and argued again, I'd not have been kind. He wants to cut off his nose to spite his face.

Ok, so you don't want help, you want to wallow in your misery. If your doc isn't comfortable doing it, then he has every right to refuse. And if you allow your ridicules desire to force him or you'll stop taking it, then you for sure need a shrink. What do you do if you don't get your way other times, hold your breath?

At this point, it would seem that he has made up his mind. I believe that those of us without medical degrees have said to see those with the degrees and do the right thing.

I hope he changes his mind, but that seems unlikely. I hope we don't see him here in two months in the depths of depression asking what to do.

I wish him well.

obviously you haven't read my addition to my first quote as you still think i'm male. And for your info I didn't really have a question I needed a place to vent some frustration with the system sorry i came to the wrong place. Thought maybe someone would have doable suggestion, other than going back. It needs repeating it was a primary that first prescribed.

I did miss the addition. Sorry about the gender mess up. Despite that, you should still not self-medicate. In the short and long run, it is a bad thing to do.

I realize you are just venting, but you are also taking action. All comments are about the action you are taking. For those of us who have suffered through years of depression and have come through the other side in one piece, we know that self-medicating is the worst thing you can do.

All our comments are to get you to see that self-medication is the wrong thing to do. Please hear our words as both kindness and a warning. Some of us, including myself, have been down the path you are going. I almost died. I wish for no one to suffer what I went through, so I am asking (begging) you to rethink what you are doing.

Your meds were working, your words, stick with them and find a way to change doctors, not medication.

That's why I came hear i did try another doctor same office no go. they wouldn't even recommend a new one,( medicare acceptable) and local. Just because I was happy with my script. Did I say small town

What do you mean medicare acceptable. Unless you have an advantage planor humana or something like that they don't tell you who you can see. Doctors may not take medicare, but medicare doesn't tell you which doc. And why do all these people use small town as an excuse. I grew up in a town of 800. We had one doctor. We traveled to bigger towns for what we needed, and never gave it a thought.
