Hi Colleen,
Instead of taking 2 Zoloft (100 mg) a day and 1 Wellbutrin (300 mg) I took 1 Zoloft at night , stopped the Wellbutrin and was amazed at the change. I tripped in the house and I was able to get up immediately, by myself, I was able to use my legs without any weakness in them.
The doctor then started to reduce my Zoloft to 25 mg twice daily for 7 days then 25 mg once daily for 7 days and started me on Cymbalta at one a day to be increased to 2 a day and we'll see how that goes for my depression, but I'm not falling and the relief that gives me helps me handle the depression. Fortunately I have a good support system of family and friends and best of all I have a great sense of humour. I can be depressed and still have a good laugh, maybe because my depression manifests itself in anger which comes on fast and because I now know what I'm feeling is not a good way to handle things.. so I try to be careful if I'm feeling frustrated. I will continue to take antidepressants, they work for me .... as long as I don't have side effects like falling. I hope this helps, I tend to babble on (more so since Covid).
