I'm just checking on you and hoping that the Paxil has began to give you all those lovely benefits again.

Hi Hopefully, yes. I am feeling a bit better. The brain fog has lifted. Some depression has lifted. It comes agian at times though. the anxiety is better. BUT!!! I went back to my generic paxil and cut it in half. The whole paxil and the Wellbutrin made me feel like I had drank 10 cups of coffee. I see my dr next friday. i am so tierd or see her. I feel my appetite picking up again. Yesterday I had the iternal jitters so bad. My heart rate was up etc. I had stopped taking my magnisium/calsium because I had some diarreah and I didnt pick it up again. I took the cal/mag supplement and in a matter in minutes the jitters were gone! Boy that supplement is the best! I know I need to go back to the paxil and I will before I go to the dr next friday. Thanks for asking. I will talk later more. My little guy is hammering for my attention right now!

It's good to hear that you are seeing improvement. I upped my Wellbutrin XL to 300mg once a day. Today was the first time that I've taken the 300mg. pill and it knocked me out. I was soooooooooo sleepy that I came home and almost fell asleep at the computer. Finally I layed down and took a long nap. Isn't it amazing how medications affect all of us differently? There are only a few people besides myself that I know of who become drowsy after taking Wellbutrin. What's interesting is that my doctor prescribed it because it's suppose to give me more energy.

Hopefully, I also was tired when taking the wellbutrin. I didn't take it very long. I'm trying lexapro again for now. But I just wanted to let you know I was also tired on the 300mg., tired and jittery, unfortunately. Does the wb not make you jittery? Hope you didn't mind I jumped on the thread.

Welcome american! The more the merrier! WB made me jittery and sleepy. I started taking it in the pm because it kind of blitzed me. but as it got into my system boy! I got so jittery. My pulse was up! I hated it! I think I am whimpy. I need low doses of this stuff.
