*knock knock*
Is this thing on?
Hello, I'm new here. I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder for over 10 years now. I have been on various cocktails of medications and am currently taking Wellbutrin, Lexapro and Trileptal.
I have decided to wean myself off of the trileptal and lexapro (but remain on the wellbutrin). I have been on the Wellbutrin/Lexapro combo for years and have added Trileptal close to a year ago. I don't like the emotionally numbing or sexual side effects of the lexapro and don't feel that I need the trileptal. I think the wellbutrin will work well enough on it's own.
However, I am scared of the withdrawl side effects and fear that my moods won't be as stable or as well as they have been, while I am on Wellbutrin alone. So I've decided that I need some support - and while I am feeling not-so-low, would love to offer some support - because I have been there done that!!!
Other random info about me... I am a single mother of a 3 year old little boy, I'm 30, I have a history of self-mutilation, I am a surgical tech at a metropolitan hospital, I am an artist-wannabe, avid journaler (including shared journals), pen paller, soccer player, and in general a short italian little pudgeball. :)
I am looking forward to getting to know you folks.
