After struggling to be compliant with Prozac I am finally switching to a med with less reported side effects....lets hope this works....
Side effects: CNS: SEIZURES, agitation, headache, insomnia, mania, psychoses, GI: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, change in appetite, weight gain, weight loss, Derm: photosensitivity, Endo: hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion, Neuro: tremor, (davis drug guide for Wellbutrin XL)
Wahoo, this list is a quarter the size of the list for Prozac. I am a little worried about the insomnia and hypoglycemia because I already struggle with both of those things anyways....but only a few people end up with these effects, with any luck I will not be one of the few!!!!!
OK, Winter term starts today, I am trying some new meds, my apartment is clean, and the plumber is coming to fix my water heater sometime this am.....could today be any better????? yes, the coffee could be ready :)

I just got on Wellbutrin XL myself. Its been working so far even though its suppose to take 3-4 weeks to kick in.
Thanks for your last comment, it was really sweet, I wish I would have known about it sooner.
the Wellbutrin is finally working for me too!!! I am so excited to be feeling like myself again! It was cool to run into your blog when I did because I needed to know that I was not alone in the struggle. So now that the depression is controlled I can get on with the rest of my life and focus on the things that matter...like school, and having as much fun as possible :)
