Saw my doctor today. I'll cut the Remeron from 30mg to 15 mg, then we'll talk about how my sleep is next week. I am to increase the Wellbutrin SR (again) from 300mg to the top dose of 400mg. If the Wellbutrin does the trick by itself, he (and I) would prefer to stay with one drug. If it doesn't, he said we could discuss adding something else. I feel better in that at least we're doing something about this.
I have been a little surprised since Thursday to go to 300mg with nary a tremor when I was shaky at 200 until I split the dose to 100mg 2X/day. I don't get it.
If the Wellbutrin doesn't do it, are there any suggestions? I don't seem to tolerate SSRIs or Effexor or lithium. A friend has suggested TCAs, but neither of us knows much about them.
My doctor thinks my recent backslide is due to what we've been talking about in the last month and revelations from those discussions. I can't disagree. Some of those revelations hit me like a brick wall.
Bob, when you got into rough psychotherapy territory, did you backslide? Did you have to change your meds? Anyone else?
Thanks.
