Restarting meds: Did your anti-depressant work the 2nd time around?

Hello @aethos,
I'm sorry to hear that you are dealing with antidepressant problems. I can understand your concerns. These are very helpful meds when we are experiencing unpleasant mood swings and/or depression.
You mentioned that you stopped Wellbutrin because of higher blood pressure numbers. Was this change suggested by your doctor? If so, did the doctor give you any instructions about tapering off the Wellbutrin?
I hope you are able to find a good antidepressant med that works well without side effects. Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?

Yes I am also curious how you are doing. I'm back on Zoloft and also Wellbutrin. I'm 69

Teresa, I came down with Covid on Jun 1st and stopped taking Trazodone for sleep ( have used it since my 32 year old twins were born) because I took Pavloxid, the Anti-viral drug for Covid; was advised not to take trazodone with it. I find I am able to sleep without sleep meds! So I now have discontinued not only Wellbutrin but Trazodone too. So far I am doing well. I don’t currently have a doctor for psychiatric meds but will find one if my mood worsens. Thank you for caring!
