Hello everyone. Thank God for this forum! I discovered this yesterday, when I was pretty sure I was going insane! I was recently weaned off of Cymbalta and onto Wellbutrin (Bupropion) by my doctor, over a two week period. I'm now about a week and a half on solely Wellbutrin Two nights ago I started feeling extremely paranoid, deeply depressed, and had suicidal thoughts. That night, I experienced at least three (that I can remember) episodes of night terrors. In addition to all this, I'm getting the lovely "brain zaps" and nausea/diarrhea. I'm always tired, though that is likely because I have difficulty sleeping, even when taking an over-the-counter sleep aid.
All of this isn't helped that I'm currently separated from my wife (her decision). I was sad and upset before, but now I have episodes where I start crying uncontrollably. I've tried to be extremely upfront with her and my son (he is 14) so that they don't become alarmed by my erratic behavior. Before, I had some hope of reconciliation down the road, but right now I can't feel anything but despair. Really trying hard to power through this, but it's damned hard!
I just called my doctor, and I'm hoping to speak with him about some ways to get through the withdrawal. I know for sure that I really hate this drug, and never want to go through anything this awful again!
