Wellbutrin Weekend

What a weekend. I'd started Wellbutrin for the first time on Friday morning. Saturday night, the kids were away, leaving the house to me. I went to bed and was wide awake. I put on Are You Being Served? and watched all night. I was wide awake and not tired in the least. I really like that show even though I've seen every episode a bazillion times. Every few seconds, I felt a little tingly itchy feeling. Scratch! ... Scratch! Scratch! It went on that way all night. I kept thinking my sheets had bedbugs or were filthy or both. (Formication.) Super imposed on this, someone came in and hit my bed really hard with their hands, when I wasn't paying attention. I heard it and felt it. This went on that way until 7 a.m. when I texted my ex-husband and said I wasn't going to make it to church. (We are in the choir together.) Insomnia is a side effect listed for Wellbutrin. I went to sleep around 11, thankfully, but it was 4:00 when I woke up. Great. Now I'd be up all night again.

Sunday evening, I washed my bedding, took a shower, put on fresh pajamas and tried to go to bed after some melatonin. I looked it up and the bug crawling sensation may be a version of akathisia. I thought that was uncontrolled muscle movements. I hate to tell my psych nurse practitioner because she might take me off the Wellbutrin. Last night, it didn't happen again, so I'm hopeful it was just a one-time thing. Today (Monday), too, I've been seeing hallucinations of animals- cats, dogs, lions. I have also felt very confused about things: what to do, what to do next... moment-to-moment things. I wanted to just shut down in a pod that would block out the world; and to this end, I felt overwhelmed by the paperwork that is due soon that I have to do. I did get it almost finished today. I just have to copy something, print something, and mail all of it.

Through it all, I've been listening to my new CD of Peter Schreier as a boy alto from the early 1950's. There are clips on Youtube and you can buy a copy of the CD on Amazon. That's kept me together this weekend- that and my kids. I took my eldest to Starbucks today and my youngest to Burger King yesterday. (I hadn't been there since I worked there in the early 90's!) It was his first time eating there. He said he enjoyed it so that was better than wasting the food.

Sunday into Monday, the all-night bug fest was closed. So was the bed slapping and insomnia.

  1. From 2002 to 2019, I was battling this terrible disease called Diabetes, I couldn't afford so many things, as I was spending about 70% of my income on treating diabetes and liver problems. little did i know that my medications were the main cause of this issue. After spending tons of money nursing my diabetes, my wife’s friend messaged her on facebook, Sarah told her about the great herbalist Dr James,who uses herbs and roots extract to cure diseases that have been said to be incurable by drugs and injections from Nigeria in west A frica, my wife explained to Dr.James what’s going on with me, and Dr.James asked what i have been using, after my wife explained to him, he asked if i was having blurred vision, kidney issues or any other complications, my wife told him i had blurry vision and liver issues, and he confirmed that the medicines i have been using is the cause of the complications. That was when it occurred to me that my doctor had changed my medications 5 times within the space of 12 years. I took my time to read about the side effects of the medicine i was using, lo and behold, I was shocked.
    After 2 days, we ordered Dr.James natural herbs cure for Diabetes treatments and he also gave some directives on what to do, in a 4 days time , the supplements arrived in the States, and my husband started using the herbal medicine in accordance with Dr.James directives. so my husband used the herbal medicine accordingly as he was told. After the completion of the treatment on the 4th week, with Dr.James herbal medicine, from 2019 till date, my husband has been feeding normally like everybody else. After I saw these changes in 2019, I told some people I know about Dr. James herbal mix medicine in west Africa , they used it and told others about it and the good news about Dr.James herbal healings keeps spreading.
