Wellbutrin
Karen
Here, I found it, as soon as I sent my last post, naturally...
From http://www.wellbutrin-side-effects.com/
How is Wellbutrin different from other antidepressants?
Classified as a dopamine-reuptake blocking compound, Wellbutrin has a
chemical structure unrelated to any other antidepressant medication.
Unlike some of the other recently developed antidepressants (i.e., Celexa,
Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft) that target the brain chemical serotonin,
Wellbutrin acts on the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine.
Because of its unique makeup, Wellbutrin also has different side effects,
and it may work for individuals who have not had success with other
antidepressants.

So unlike Prozac, which only helps you think clearer and reestablish more
brainpaths, Wellbutrin IS a happy-pill??
(Somehow I can't find it in me to think that's immoral...)

Well, I consider antidepressants as immoral as antibiotics... (and I know
you do too!) Oddly, Effexor (similar to Prozac) totally numbed me out. I
couldn't cry, didn't particularly want to laugh, couldn't *feel*. I hated
it, although it got me through a couple of funerals in a socially acceptable
manner. It also numbed me out from the waist down, IYKWIM. How depressing is
*that*? And I had withdrawal, dizzy every time I missed a dose. I tried
decreasing the dose as much as possible, still didn't help.
Wellbutrin, OTOH, doesn't make me feel happy, just normal. It'd been so long
I'd forgotten what that was. I've been on it since August, and I'm planning
to go off in the next few months. A lot of my stress was job-related and I
finally quit it completely (feels odd, but OK) so we'll see.
