I'm so sorry to hear how bad this has gotten. Just want to make sure I understand - the combination your pdoc put you on finally pulled you back to "normal" functionality... then you slowly weaned yourself off pretty much everything because you didn't want to be med-dependent... symptoms came back and now you're restarting wellbutrin? is that right? The thing that strikes me is your desire to be med-free... I am guessing because you spent a good part of your life happy and healthy before your cancer crisis you don't want to be psych drug dependent. It must be very hard to accept that you need them, but you can't live this way... it's hardly "living" as you well know...if you can find the right combo you can be that person in the video again... PLEASE stick with the wellbutrin for awhile given its former efficacy and if that doesn't work try something else... and what's wrong with taking xanax if you NEED it?? sounds like you have a good psych dr, a blessing...and when you find the right combo again don't EVER go off it till the day you die. PERIOD.
(If I am way off on this please don't be offended; wasn't quite sure the exact sequence of events/why quit wellbutrin in first place if it worked)
regards julie
