I've been on Bupropion for about a month now and I honestly feel like I've gotten so much better. This is more than a slight improvement, especially with how I used to be. I was reading my journal the other day and it was so bizarre comparing one entry to another 3 days later and seeing how different it was. Usually I don't remember the things I write so what I do read is very raw and telling and I'm just a little shocked with how everything has worked out. I've been having more energy and I've lost 6 lbs (not sure if that's completely a good thing) and for the first couple of weeks I could actually sleep and feel a little rested. My old sleep pattern is starting to return but that's something I can handle. The most important this is that I'm starting to feel like I have a personality again, like I'm myself. To be honest, I'm not even very sure what being myself means because I feel like it's been so long that I might just be a different person. Anyway, I hope this keeps working. Dr. Kithas has upped the dose and I'm not as chippy as I used to be but still better. Maybe it'll improve more as I go along. It's just so nice taking something that's finally doing SOMETHING positive to me. Lexapro just numbed me and I felt like a potato and Effexor was fucking shitty and really made me want to kill myself, let me tell you. I didn't bother with Zoloft 'cause those SSRIs just weren't working for me and now I'm here! And I'm feeling better! And I hope it stays better because this is great!!
This is great.
