Psych Nurse Prescribed Me Wellbutrin Today
The first time since going to the hospital, I was seated across from my psych nurse this morning.  We talked about the hospital visit of course.  I told her about my recent hallucinations- she was not impressed.  The more we talked about me lately- unmotivated, sleeping all day, not much enthralls me, sex on Zoloft was a chore- the more she built her case that I'm depressed and we should try an anti-depressant.  Not just any, but one unlike Zoloft (which I just went off) and Celexa, both of which have sent me into mania and have side effects in the past.  We decided on Wellbutrin - which has a low incidence of sexual and other side effects.  She asked me about any history of fainting; we decided there is none. I took my first dose around 11 taken in the morning.  By one at lunch with friends, I felt a little dizzy.  It passed though. I still feel overwhelmed by daily tasks.  I'd rather sit in a sound pod and be surrounded by my favorite music for hours on end.
