MyPTSD Pro
Two years ago I was prescribed Mirtazapine (Remeron) mostly because my sleep was almost non existent. Last year, I couldn't take the side effect of weight gain anymore. I had gained far too much weight and was very concerned (15+ lbs). I was then prescribed Brupropion (wellbutrin). I started with 100 mg while tapering off remeron, gradually increased to 200mg and then switched to 300 mg xl which has been very helpful for me. I experienced many improvements over the past year but the past month or so has been more difficult. Does Wellbutrin just stop working or could I be feeling down (out of sorts) because I have been more challenged in therapy? Until 2 years ago - I never took anything (but did my share of self medicating with alcohol). I very rarely drink and if I do I limit myself to one or two because I am cautious of mixing with med. anyway - has anyone heard of no longer getting benefit? (am I fooling myself that I no longer feel any benefit?)
