Experience with Bupropion / Wellbutin / Elafontil
Hey🌻
Can the side effects of antidepressants change over time?
Disclaimer: English is not my native language 🙈
My experience:
I´ve been taking bupropion for 7 months. Two month with 150mg were hell and my psychiatrist was nearly to end the medication but we both wanted to know if it gets better with 300mg. When the dosage was increased I felt much better. I got my motivation back and I started too feel real happiness. The side effects decreased. The only ones that stayed were dry mouth, insomania/nightmares, sometimes short time memory loss and panic attacks.
But for a month now, I've had new side effects that are very unpleasant. I´m derealising more than usual and I got increased Sweating(especially at night), Anxiety Attacks and many unpleasant/embarrassing memories of my old self for no reason. Most of those memories are from many years ago and I haven´t really thought anymore about them. I know that those memories are kind of normal but in this case they are repetitive and intrusive. The memories will come to me so vividly as a daydream and I start to fall in a Thought spiral. They make me feel anxious, depressed and awful. I´m really suffering and I feel like I´m losing my mind. I´m having a appointment with my psychiatrist next week and I´m unsure if I have to change the medication.
Do you have a similar experience with bupropion or with another medicament?

# Chronic fatigue syndrome #meds #Lyrica
So the doc prescribes lyrica for a CFS, which is to give energy and this is day three and this medication has me fucked up…… it has me feeling the same symptoms I get with my IIH I have no idea how I’m supposed to get energy with this I can barely walk. It makes my brain foggy. I don’t understand this. Who else has experienced this? Arghhh

Past due balance, doc won’t refill my anxiety medicine. Feel so sick.
I have a past due balance at my doc of over $100, but have been out of my anxiety meds for several weeks now. I only take these as needed, and the last few days my anxiety has been through the roof and making me physically ill. I reached out on the messaging on their website and asked for a temporary refill (10 days or so) because I had an panic attack last night and am physically sick from anxiety. They are requiring me to make an appt for a med check (that I’ve been on for years)..but in order to make that appt; I need to first pay the past due balance. Which I can’t afford right now. I FEEL SO STUCK. And it’s not helping my anxiety.
I’m not sure what to do but I feel overwhelmed and physically ill from it. Like a boulder in my stomach. What can I do? 😫😫 #Anxiety #meds #help

Please Help Fibro Warriors!!
I just love these little games my health insurance plays every so often since my doctor raised my Gabapentin for my Fibromyalgia to the highest dose of 3,600 mg a day many months ago. When I go to call it in, they won’t fill it for another ten days. This leaves me over a week with no meds, terribly ill, and at great risk for seizures. Not a med you can cold turkey without paying the consequences. When they will fill it in ten days, they will only fill 90 pills. I currently take 12 of them a day. Obviously, this does not add up at all. This is a last resort Fibro med as I did not do well on the others and had heavy side effects with them. I’ve been trying to be better at advocating for my own health this year but I’m just not getting anywhere with it. Any Fibro Warriors out there have any advice for me? Have done Cymbalta and Lyrica. Also have had gastric sleeve surgery at then end of 2021. Suffer from migraines, Bipolar II, depression, anxiety, PCOS, arthritis, and my thyroid bounces around all over the place as well. I am on Disability and on state insurance. I am open to any advice! Thank you!! #Fibromyalgia #meds #treatments #Neuropathy #MultipleDisabilities

Sunny Day #meds working,
I've had vibrations under feet, like a pulse or vibration, it seems like it's only when feet are on floor sitting or standing, it's not painful but I do get foot pain during flare ups, all over pain, just come from a back to back flare up and it is my stress levels that don't help, I guess I have to stop caring what other people think and say. I read some where, what other people think of me is none of my business, I can cop that, if it mattered, really someone would say something, so stressing doesn't help and I know the truth and what I do with my issues only I can deal with and that goes for my fibromyalgia and my liver transplant issues, it's such a gift and I will honour and always remember,I am here to be a help for anyone who has had my experiences, so I will study psychology, I did parapsychology and that's about every human being on this planet, So I'd like to thank everyone who shares in fibromyalgia friends it is a doosie multifaceted and the barometric pressure could have something to do with the peripheral pain but it's not really something that can be measured so far as I can tell, but it's not something that can be ruled out either, it's a beautiful sunny day in South Australia so I'm going to get some paintings finished while my spasms & twitches are limited to some unseen annoying but can do some finer details on my triptages need last touch ups, thanks for sharing, it's not so lonely will my fibro friends I love you all so very much☮️💜✝️🙏Sincerely ShazZx💜x

Mighty Meds
*This Is Not An Endorsement*
There is a stigma out there when it comes to going on meds for treatment of mental illness. Know there is NO SHAME in doing so. Receiving proper treatment, even if in the form of pharmaceuticals, is you being PROACTIVE in your own wellbeing. This girl is on a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant. She is also prescribed an antianxiety med for when anxiety strikes. In addition to that, I am prescribed a muscle relaxer for neck pain which is in no way different than being on the others. Not only that, but over the course of 25 years, I have been on two mood stabilizers, two antianxiety meds, and seven antidepressants. I feel absolutely NO SHAME in it and neither should you. #meds #noshame #proactive #Wellbeing #StopTheStigma #MightyTogether #TheMighty

Radical Acceptance...nope,not Im not there yet.I am with my employment situation but not the remaining baggage.Take accountability for what,being kept in the dark?Believing people who lie to my face and behind my back.Accept family treating you as a storyline.Sorry,no I do not accept it.I do not accept Dr.s lying or misrepresenting.I do not accept that my parent knew and never told.I won't accept being told everything is fine,when I can feel it is not.I will keep telling how I feel and I will keep asking g questions.Why and how,Im expected to face my own while others keep kicking me.And I am not playing victim.it is the sad truth.I have allowed people to lie and use me.I am too nieve.I want to think people are being honest,ecspecially when I've begged,begged, begged for honesty,they arent.I kept asking and still am given crumbs for responces. I can only be that with and for myself,from now on.I'm trying my hardest to think of others needs,but what does lying to me get anyone?
