so i just called mr dr about the bleeding thing and told her basically it stopped and now it started AGAIN. and she told me as long as im not going through 1 pad/tampon an hour that its most likely normal. and really there isnt anything they can do about it. if i didnt stop bleeidng in another 2 weeks to call her back Rolling Eyes
im thinking i might need to switch birth control.

oh and then i talked to her about the welbutrin. i think im getting addicted to it. because i try and take it every morning right when i wake up. which is between 6 and 7 every morning. so i usually take it then but on days i forget to take it in the morning if i havent taken it mby noon i feel irritated and pissed off. and its like i start to slip back into this bad angry depressed mood again.
if i take it in the morning my apetite is gone until later in that day. if i take it at night i cant sleep! so i asked her about it and she said "its only been 3 weeks so its probably just kicking in. give it another 2 weeks then "call me back"
Rolling Eyes Mad Confused Sad
so what do i do? if i keep takeing it i either go sleepless or dont eat for the most of the day
and if i dont take it i get all angry and sad all over again! and if i do end up having to switch then she said it will take ANOTHER 2-3 weeks for the new meds to kick in so chances are im going to me a nutcase if i have to switch and stop taking this stuff! Confused


i really have no idea what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What if you take it right before you go to sleep?

I doubt you are 'addicted' to it. I think that your moods being irritable is normal when you haven't taken the pills because the pills are helping to regulate your moods.

When I was on Wellbutrin, I was everything but addicted to it. I HATED Wellbutrin. It didn't do anything for me.

You aren't addicted, but you cannot just *stop* taking medication like that, you have to taper down slowly, like a lower and lower dose every week or every few days.

Changes in the menstrual cycle are a side effect of Wellbutrin, and I found this interesting info about Wellbutrin withdrawal:

Wellbutrin withdrawal Menorrhagia - Abnormally heavy menstrual period or a menstrual flow that has continued for an unusually long period of time.

I took paxil. I had to take it before I went to bed because it upset my stomach terribly. But if I took it before bed, it wouldn't bother my stomach. When I told the doctor this, he was amazed because it did affect some people's sleep cycles.

Didn't she give you something to help you relax too?

For depression, Lexapro worked very well for me.
