WTF? That's so messed up. Nice crisis center they have there. You'd think they would at least try different combinations of numbers to see if they made a mistake.

I take Wellbutrin. I've heard it isn't supposed to have a lot of sexual side effects but I have PTSD and vaginismus so I can't tell. I'm also on Lexapro.

I was on Effexor but it messed with my PTSD/panic attacks too much and I got low potassium. I was on Pamelor and it made me gain 30 pounds in 6 months. I was on Celexa but it also messed with my panic attacks too much and I had a lot of suicidal thoughts, even when I was put on a low dose of Seroquel to try to counteract it.

Can i ask what dosage of wellbutrin you're on?

A friend of mine started effexor and the first night she took it she had an episode where she was walking around naked, eating in bed, etc etc, that she DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER. Yeah, i'm all set with THAT! haha. :)

OH, and about the Crisis Center... if they had just looked up my name in the computer, they would've found the right number, because i'm already in the system. Idiots.

Yeah, I was wondering why they wouldn't double check or at least repeat your number back to you before they got off the phone to make sure they got it right. That fucking sucks. I mean what if they do that to somebody that is suicidal and it drives them over the edge?

Prozac was weird for me. I had a sex drive, and things felt good, but I could never get all the way to orgasm. It was really frustrating. I switched to Zoloft and I LOVE it. The sex drive is normal, and it really helps with my pain levels as well as my moods. I recently went from 100 to 150mg, and I haven't had to take so much as a Tylenol since. I still get extremely exhausted, but I have CFS also.

Wowza. See, i was on Zoloft for a year and it did NOTHING for me, except kill my sex drive. I was still depressed. I guess each med really does affect everyone differently!

I stopped taking Neurontin because it didn't seem to help but it gave me that overmedicated med head feeling. I feel so lucky that after fighting with letters my insurance deemed lyrica "medically necessary" for a year and then they will review again ( ... )

if your already on amytriptaline I would consider just uping the dose instead of adding something else. I had the least side effects on it than anything else. I am going of of it right now, and am having no trouble.
I am only going off it to try some alternative therapies that dont mix well with pharmas.

I take 1200 mg of Neurontin four times a day. It works moderately well on nerve pain; I have some trapped nerves that it doesn't help
