I'm thinking I will. I suffer from thyroid problems and I have a lot of fibromyalgia type pain because of it. I've also had depression in the past and I tend to crash/get anxious at night (the 5'oclock craving is baaaad). I think the alcohol helps with both and that's part of the reason I'm in this position now. I've found Wellbutrin helpful before and I'm thinking I may benefit from it again.
