changed my antidepressant

Hi, I've been so fatigued and lethargic lately. When I saw my surgeon for my visit a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned that he has good luck with Wellbutrin in his WLS patients. So, the next day, I called my shrink and switched over from Lexapro. I'm cutting my Lexapro in half for two weeks and then in half again for two weeks again to wean off of it. The Wellbutrin is kicking in and it does give you a "kick" that's for sure. Feels like I had a bunch of caffeine. Had to take a sleeping pill last night to get a good night's sleep! Boy did I have a great night! I'm not as tired as I was, and I got some things done around the house...something I've not been able to do lately without taking a nap! Just wanted to share. I am having my thyroid checked too. I had bloodwork done and am seeing my endo doc on the 29th. paula

Sounds like you have a plan ! Good luck, Sandy

I had to get off the Lexapro also. Its almost like it just stops working. I was losing it and now my meds work great. I hope to god they dont stop. The meds Im on also helps for pain. I stopped having all my little aches and pains. Like the tail bone. That was really bothersome. Now I seem to be free of those little aches. Glad you took the step.
