This is a very interesting aspect of your chosen on-line persona. Demand that others toe the line, while making excuses for yourself. It is possible that cutting the bullshit and being yourself would be a good strategy. I won't be replying to your response. This is long-term advice. g

Wellbutrin XL 450mg/day
Four of every 1000 persons who receive bupropion in doses less than 450 mg/day experience seizures. When doses exceed 450 mg/day, the risk increases ten-fold.

But you're still a bitch.

Actually, you can stop all of what bri's on without a taper.

And here I was looking for a polite way to ask her if her meds might need adjusting ...

It helps to understand, Brianna, thanks.

I hope that things get back on track with you.

I am not involved with psych aspects of health care but I do know a bit about pharmacology. it was my understanding that cold turkey cessation of wellbutrin can lead to seziure activity. Unsupervised cessation of psychiatric meds can lead to lower levels of depression or other behavior problems. I see it with people who are on Lithium or who have bipolar disorders. They basically relaspse into another plane of craziness. Thoughts?

There is a misconception that that suicide warning is only about taking these meds. Well it isn't publicized but suicide and other behaviors can also increases during withdrawl. We don't have all the answers when it is about these meds and how they effect the neurological function of the brain.

Of course I am only talking from my own limited experience.

So if I read this right you were off of them from May 14th until recently but now you're back on them?

I just looked at your posts for the past 2 days and you've been ripping up the Cellar. This is the improved version?

I can't say I support what Bri has been posting recently (and from other comments I've missed some of the worst) but if you take her posts over the time she has been here compared to the last couple of days... I dunno - I've seen real difference & I can't believe she was faking all this time and then revealed her real self.

Oh, give me a break with this "real self" business...

People in real life are not one-dimensional; don't expect them to be one-dimensional on the internet.

I was on Wellbutrin for several years and weaned myself off. Switched from MANY years on Trazadone.

The only time I had a seizure was once when I refilled my Trazadone with non-generic by accident. My doctor didn't even seem concerned.

A drug's half-life plays a part. Effexor is like 5-8 hours, where Prozac is a few days I think.

Bri has flashes of temper. But I haven't seen her this consistently vitriolic in the time I've been posting here. I think I'm justified in saying the change in behaviour isn't what I'm used to.

She's been posting here for three years next month - I doubt she was faking it all this time. This aspect isn't the Brianna that people are used to.

Bri.
If I've learned one thing it's to tell doctors what YOU need and not the other way around.

Don't suffer. Make an appointment. Read this article or something else to help you make a case. http://bipolar.about.com/cs/antidep/..._ssridisc1.htm

Ask questions. What is this med vacation for?( personally I don't understand the reasoning behind it if taking a vacation makes a person worse. Then by introducing any medication will provide a false positive?)

Tell the doctor if he is going to resume ONE medication then he'd better do it because you are miserable?
