Hi again, Kelly. I'm going to be drug through the mud for this, but I'm going to say it anyway. Isn't that the way we are? We have the freedom of choice. Anywho, for a few years I took Cymbalta. It changed me. I started to have energy, I was happy and the big plus for me was that because I moved around a lot more, I lost 15 lbs. My doc switched me to Lamictal. I never noticed being tired on Lamictal. It's been a wonder med for me. So, there you have it, chocolate chip cookie. Stay in touch. God bless you. Anna
Well thank you Anna, I have never heard of that one so now I'm going to check into that, thank you much!! If you need to talk ever just send mean private mesg, I respect your answer also, Kelly
Lamictal is a mood stabilizer, not an antidepressant. It is often prescribed to treat bipolar disorder, or mood swings.
That also sounds like anxiety too. I have anxiety and I get worried really easy everyone is different ofcourse and what may be anxiety for me might be something completely different to u! Make sure u get the right doctor though cause from experience they give u all the wrong medicines before the right one! Take care and hope you feel better!
ALSO Lexapro is an anxiety/ depression medication and I took it and it helped
Thank you so much
Everyone responds differently but I found Pristiq to be energizing for me and Wellbutrin is as well. The Pristiq affects the brain chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine while the Wellbutrin affects dopamine and norepinephrine. So they are slightly different. It really is a trial and error sort of ordeal.
Thank you so much
I have read about wellbutrin and that seems to be the best choice for my symptoms, what mg was you on if thats not to personal? And how long before you noticed it working?
I take 300mgs of Wellbutrin XL which is the usual theraputic dose. The doctor would start you on 75 to150mgs to see how you tolerate it. Then would step you up to the 300mgs after a couple weeks to a month. It takes about a week to build in the system, but can take upwards of a month to reach maximum effectiveness. You may feel the increase in energy fairly soon after starting it though.
Ok thank you so much, I'm just tired of being tired, I wake up in the morning and start thinking about the worries I have in my life and I just can't deal with it nomore,
I would have to say wellbutrin , prozac and perhpas paxil( I have taken them), but bare in mind that what migth work for me may not for you. We are all unique and our organisms react to medications in different ways, benefits, side effects, risks, interactions, etc.
Take care,
