Hi all. How are you feeling? The weather is beautiful here in KS and I love the excitement of Fall. I'm not ready for winter though...at all. Not physically, not mentally.
Well, the wellbutrin seemed to be the evil culprit. Since going off of it I have lost the rages, I like other people again and put up with myself. Who would ever think that taking a medication that should make you feel better could make you turn into a demon? At this time I'm not on any anti-d at all, just my other everyday meds. And, I haven't quite figured out what to do next. I think just see what happens. I can always fall back on the celexa as a last resort. But, not having any feelings isn't good either.
I'm not very happy with myself and low carbing. I truly think it is good for me, I just am not doing a good job with it. I ate 2 pieces of pizza yeaterday. *thick curst no less, carb nightmare* I knew I shouldn't when I did it and my tummy really complained so maybe that will help teach me a lesson. I do wonder why some of us have to be so strict and quite frankly I'm not seeing the weight drop off. I guess I would have to not eat at all for that to happen. I generally am at around 1100 calories a day so I don't know what else I can do. Most days I stay on program. So, maybe it is time to start liking me the way I am and just try to maintain.

Lendi,

I know how you feel about the wellbutrin, it did the same thing to me. I really actually felt like I could kill someone without a seconds notice. It was rough on my poor DH while I was on it. From what my doc said, its only a small percentage of people that it affects this way. Glad you are feeling better though.

The low carb thing is very hard to get used to. It sometimes take trying again and again before you can really stick to it. Good luck with that.
