I have a question about about anti-depression medicine. Which medicine is the best for me?

Question

I am severly depressed. I have been on Lexapro, Celexa, Cymbalta, Zoloft, Effexor, and probably a few I have left out. I am very obese and need to lose weight. I also smoke, and need to quit, duh. All the other medicines don't seem to help my depression and KILL my sex life. I have been doing some research and I am considering requesting Wellbutrin. I have no history of seizure disorders or any known allergies. I just wanted to get some opinions. I have started going to a therapist, that is starting to help me. I am fortunate enough to be getting married next year and I would love to be able to get my depression under some sort of control. I really need your help. Thanks so much.

Answer 1

Wellbutrin works great for a lot of people.

Many people try it, but don't like how they feel and quit it on the first or second day. Give it a few weeks before quitting it. (typical complaints are: my heart felt like it was beating fast, I had too much energy, etc.)

One thing to be aware of if you are coffee drinker is that the enzyme in the kidneys that metabolizes caffeine, is monopolized by the Wellbutrin.

So if you drink 3 cups of coffee first thing in the morning, that evening you still feel that buzz. Majority of M.D.s and pharmacists don't share that information.

Most folks cut down on their caffeine intake and do great.

Also, wellbutrin is also sold as Zyban which does help a lot of people quit smoking.

Talk to your doctor and your therapist; sounds like it is worth looking into.

Good luck!

Yes you want a Doctor's prescription to get Anti-Depressants.. so much average are Prosac Paxil Zoloft As good as a number of others... want extra data discuss with WebMd and installed anti-depressants and they are going to let you know virtually the whole lot you have got to recognise.. Don't be ashamed in any respect to invite for support. Your making the proper step. I needed to do it as good and I'm a grown grownup. So dangle in there and fine of good fortune!!

Answer 3

Councelling is probably going to be the most help...wellbutrin is also used as a stop smoking pill...ask the dr. about this...Diet and exercise are also very helpful with depression...and weight...try www.sparkpeople.com a motivational/diet/health site that is free...you can say wickedq reffered you...or just try it...exercise also increases your sex drive...wellbutrin did not affect sex when my husband and I used it to quit smoking...good luck!

Answer 4

When I was on Meds my sex drive was non existent and my weight went up and down it was when I stop taking everything that I went sex crazy and my weight stabilized, but the medicine that worked best for me was Paxil.
