Wellbutrin part 2 and eating disorders and Boost
I can see why Wellbutrin is contraindicated for people with eating disorders. Between the Wellbutrin and the Topamax I'm already on, I've completely last my appetite again. I can go 14 hours without eating and not even care. Its actually kind of nice. But I've been drinking high protein Boost as a supplement to make sure I at least get some nutrition.
This has been a really hard week. Therapy on Tuesday started off going well, then went sour pretty quickly with a random comment that set me off. Tuesday night, Wednesday, and Thursday were horrible enough that I dont even want to talk about it. I haven't been sleeping and I'm exhausted. Therapy is just too hard sometimes.
Thursday night, went to therapy, tried to mend things a bit with my therapist, I'm not sure how that went. Jo asked her a question that she needs time to think about the answer. Now we're left waiting til Wednesday to find out what the answer will be. Hard to wait.
We have to do better. We HAVE to. Before our therapist kicks us out or gets sick of us and kicks us out of therapy. Surviving October was good. That counts for something at least to me. So far though, November isn't looking too great. :(

Hey.
I've been reading some of your blog and just wanted to say hello.
My heart is sore for all the pain you describe and although I can never begin to understand.... just know you touched my heart.
I have upped my dose from 150 to 300 mgs this week. I'm having little side effects other then I don't seem to eat as much. I have lost a little weight. I am feeling very depressed though these last few days. I have to check and see if that is a side effect.
I have mitral valve prolapse as well and I am also hyper sensitive to drugs and their side effects. So far I'm doing well. I noticed the fogginess has cleared but mentally it does not seem to be pulling me out of my depression. I'll give it more time.
Since I upped my dose I am having a little bit of shakiness in my hands. Does anyone know if this is normal? I don't read about this in the side effects warnings.

S can't fire you as her patient you know. :-) But you CAN fire her. She shouldn't do things to make you feel insecure. She is just there to listen and give you things to think about.
Love,
Your Sis
