It made me homicidal lol I hated that stuff I put it on my "allergy" list

Lol I should probably add it to my allergy meds. Along with Celexa and Abilify (made me unable to urinate and on a catheter for TWO months then a couple weeks with me cathing myself)

Best stuff ever... The walls and cabinets in my kitchen started moving out of no where... like heat fumes kind of and then I kept talking about the ants on the ceiling (popcorn). DH thought it was hilarious... doc wasn't so impressed lol

maybe ssris just weren't meant for us. I have issues with zoloft too. Never a boring day over here... heh

Maybe. I'm on Lexapro and Remeron. I don't have near as many problems. They contradict my Risperdal a little I believe though. But Remeron (antidepressant, most people haven't heard of it) helps my Ambien but I still don't sleep well   It takes me forever to go to sleep and I wake up often in the night. I don't know if Remeron is a SSRI though. But I know Lexapro is. I've been on Lexapro since I was 12. Now 22. Through this last hospitalization at the first facility they thought that I needed to try other meds. That's when I tried Prozac and Celexa. And Abilify but it isn't a SSRI though

You sound like me... I've been through 6 or 7 medications over the last couple of months... 3 of those being in the last month >< Ever since I got a rash on lamictal I can't have it anymore and it was my wonder drug. Stupid Rash ):

I'm sorry   I got admitted on Lexapro and then they wanted to try others so I went through those. Then when my urinary problems came out they took me off of everything, antipsychotics, sleeping drug, benzos cold turkey

That sounds like it's own special kind of hell. Just coming off this Risperdal is making me edgey... I don't think I could do all the meds at one time.

Oh yeah it was awful. I went through the DTs and everything. I was in the hospital thank goodness. Then I get transferred to the state facility and they quickly put me on alot of meds. The first facility almost discharged me. They are idiots. I had a suicide plan and everything. I opened my mouth so they didn't discharge me. Two weeks later I get sent to the state facility. I was kept there for 4 months. Altogether I was admitted for five and a half months

I made some serious life changes and through therapy learned many different coping skills.

wellbutrin has helped me so much with both anxiety and depression and gives me energy. But like the other person said I also run 3 days a week and found that's great for both depression and anxiety too. Do you get the name brand or the generic?

Just updating everyone. I asked my doctor to get on something different and he put me on buspirome. It took about 9 days to kick in but I feel much better
