This is the WORST time of year for me. 2 decades ago this week, I was discovered exposed to 5 x lethal dosage of Carbon Monoxide (CO) while I was alone. I lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, because nothing I ate tasted right, my senses went topsy-turvy...cold/hot, my mind gradually berserk, amazingly, those last two weeks, not eating or sleeping kept me ALIVE. I'm a medical MIRACLE. Over a period of 3 months from May thru July I was exposed intermittently. I gradually slipped from reality. Afterwards, I had a 2nd adolescence, I changed drastically, evolved into a completely different person with dyslexia, headaches daily. I even became bisexual ever since after being straight. Recently, my therapist prescribed me 300mg WELLBUTRIN for mild depression and to help me focus. I now feel almost like I did during that exposure, overreacting, anxious,etc. Could my brain damage be stimulated with this medication, causing a psychotic reaction? I lost friends over this, I need PROFESSIONAL ADVICE, PLEASE

I'm agitated, restless, not sleeping well (it's 4am) and having a worse time concentrating or focusing, missing key details. My mood has also sent me into a deeper depression, an almost surreal sort of helplessness. I went overboard on a recent incident with friends, causing embarassment and hurting friendships, including my own. I've always had a fear of rejection and this recent (incident) sent me way over the top emotionally. I just do not feel like me again. I did feel happier at first, although I usually have no problems with being happy as I'm fairly optimistic and usually not moody. I feel so scattered and unsure. I'm married, a dad of three and a born-again Christian from before the accident - yeah, being bi and Christian is tough, but I finally accepted that. Anyways, I want to refocus on my tasks, but not at this cost, besides, now... I can't focus... I'm like obsessed over anything emotionally connected to me. Could this be the Wellbutrin side effects or am I just losing it?
