@climbingmountains81 - glad to hear that. How are you feeling today?

@laurabamford4015 - you mentioned something about buproprion (Wellbutrin) turning you into a selfish monster. Will you talk more about what effect you felt this medication had on you? I assume you and your doctor went with another medication for you?

Hi Lisa,
I’m usually if anything too considerate and thoughtful. But when I took Wellbutrin, I became a more full of myself and not in a good way. I usurped à
swim member’s locker which I felt was justified as I was the one who got a new lock for it. She was waiting for the club to replace the locker, but I got them to do it for me so I felt I should be able to have that locker. I told her what I had done and she called me and said she thought it was unfair so I gave it back to her. It was very uncharacteristic of me to do something so underhanded.
I have a friend who also became a bit of a tyrant on Wellbutrin and was very rude to a waitress for no good reason. She stopped taking Wellbutrin as well.
I am now on Zoloft and, although I still suffer from depression, but I’m less depressed nowadays.
I have family members who take Wellbutrin with great success but with any pharmaceutical drug your own brain chemistry and physiology contribute to your response to the drug. At least that’s my theory as I’ve taken other medicines that work great for some people and were not good for me.
