Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Jeff, I just wanted to add a little info about what we do here. Going over some of your earlier posts, I can see that you have assiduously been researching as much scientific info as you can. That's reflected here, in what you've asked about the effects of Wellbutrin. The truth is that there is probably a large number of factors involved in your case, including taking and discontinuing a variety of drugs, and having been on Wellbutrin for so long. These drugs disrupt all kinds of things in the body. The symptoms you listed are very common side effects of SSRIs. They also disrupt hormone levels in the body. It's no wonder your doctors can't figure out what's going on. What often happens to people is that doctors overlook the drugs a person is on, as a possibility in causing whatever problem they are investigating, and are then very prone to making a misdiagnosis of some non-existant condition. A good example of this is someone experiencing drug-induced mania being re-diagnosed as bipolar, and put on additional medications for that. What we do here is take a holistic approach to healing. We give the body what it needs to fix itself. We do not take the approach of most Western doctors, which is to treat individual symptoms with drugs, while ignoring the root cause of the problems. You follow a vegetarian diet with raw and whole foods, and I believe you said you take some supplements. Diet is a crucial factor in recovery, so if you could post a 4-day food diary that would be very helpful. I also imagine that with a case as complex as yours, you will be advised to book a consultation with . She can tailor a healing programme for you based on your individual needs. I hope this helps Jeff. Look forward to hearing more from you here. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
