Hello- this is the second time I have typed this!! I may seem a bit more frustrated this time. I met with my $500.00 doctor today. He was not green with money signs on his face, but he was nice and very young! This didn't bother me because he seemed very knowledgable and he is part of a team of very experienced doctors. After 1 hour he decided to have me remain on the Effexor and he is adding Wellbutrin (the generic is BUPROPION)
Does anybody have anything good to say about this drug or the interaction of the two? I hope to hear good things because I am a bit gunshy so horror stories will not fill me with positive thoughts.
Thank you for giving me the good word!
The marathon was Monday and I survived the day, but I still wish I had been given the opportunity to run. I was angry, but now that it is over I hope to look more positively at next year when I have earned the right to run and no one can make the decision but me. I hope to be in better spirits and more on track.
Thank you
-- Sharon
