(1) sue says:

i have been on and off medication for the past 6 years due to a close family member dying and have been through some traumatic times. I am now completely off my medication and have even applied to university to do a degree in social work .I am 43 years old and not ready for the scrap heap yet! my advice is if one type of medication doesn,t suit keep going back until you find one that does, i had a very understanding doctor, there is light at the end of the tunnel!

I have been taking seroquel and epival for years and have gained about 40 pounds. I feel awful, but the Dr. said he is more concerned about me being emotionally stable. What can i do to not have an appetite like a wolf.

Seroquel - yuck. It helps if I’m so bad that I am better off being a zombie but I don’t like drugs like seroquel, or zyprexa, or risperidal or topimax for that matter because they all make me dizzy and feel like a zombie. Not fun.

Ever since I started Wellbutrin I have had this annoying smelling of paint or vanrish. Sometimes it is so strong I feel I can’t breathe!

My goal is getting off Effexor…am going to a naturopath to help me. My side effects (when I miss a dose) have been brain shivers, feeling like my brain is in a fog, getting very very irritable with everyone, bad concentration, my memory has gotten really bad, anxiety & panic.

Welbutin, does any body have experience with premature ejaculation?
Is it a side effect of Welbutrin?
Any ideas?
