@allisonlee65: It sounds like you've been dealing with a lot over the past several months, I imagine it can be overwhelming. And you've certainly been hearing a lot about a lot of different medications and experiences here that might add to that feeling of being overwhelmed!

Let's try to keep in mind the key point that everyone responds differently to medications, especially those aimed to work on emotions - genetics, age, gender, metabolism, other medical conditions - all play a role. Therefore, the person who is most qualified to determine which medication, or combination, may work best for you is one who has been trained in the mental or behavioral health field, as they will also be more thoroughly acquainted with your past history. Ideally, they will also be familiar with drug interactions and properties - such as the half-life of meds. Some SSRIs and SNRIs have a short half-life, meaning it leaves the body rather quickly. A sudden cessation could result in what is commonly known as withdrawal symptoms. Should you experience any of these, such as irritability, fatigue, headaches, "brain zaps, it's important to relay them to your prescribing provider.

Have you had a chance to discuss your concerns with the physician or health provider who prescribed the Wellbutrin?
