It really has a different feel to it than an SSRI.

(17,162 posts)I feel so fortunate that it works so well for me.
I've met other people who couldn't take it.
The side effects are sometimes annoying, but I take a low dose
of ativan when I need to counter them and then I feel normal.
I never needed medication until my daughter had her first battle
with bi polar mania...now I can't imagine my life with out meds.
I'd just stay in bed all day and cry which does my daughter no good.

I can't take SSRI drugs at all.

It can cause anxiety in certain people, but your
doctor can help you with that.
Like I said, my doctor gave me ativan along with the Wellbutrin
to help with the side effects. Between two, I feel great, most of the time.
It is available in two dosing methods.
One you take once a day, and the other you take twice a day.
Same dosage, just split over a few hours.
I prefer the second method because when I took it the other way, I think it was too strong
all at once for me personally.
Glad to hear it is looking good for you!
