Ceep,

There is a sublingual in the same family as the Wellbutrin. I

can't remember what the name is, Zoloft maybe, but it might be worth

checking into. She might want to check into a liquid form of

anti-depressant as well. I am a little surprised about not being able to

grind the Wellbutrin though. I did for 3 months with no adverse side

effects. Of course, if she is throwing up it won't make much difference.

Other then the medication, some therapy right now might help her

until she can get back on the meds. I know journaling also helped me a

lot early on. I usually started each journal entry with a gratitude list

(minimum 5 items.) The gratitude list would allow me to focus on the

positive more then the negative. Hope this helps some.

Is she trying to take the Effexor xr capsules. There are regular small 75mg

pills. She can take one at a time throughout the day with crackers. Also a

once a day prilosec type of pill will help. The pills are bitter so she has to

get them back quickly. She will not survive without her meds. If need be

get her back into the hospital so she can get it in IV until her stomach is

under control. Also as a suicide prevention.

My opinion on this matter is that severe depression is very, very dangerous.

It can be life threatening. I don't know what specific advice to give, but

IMHO, any doctor who really understood about depression would in no way take

someone off of it cold turkey, with no replacement, for any reason. Some

doctors don't have a clue how serious depression can be. It slows down the

healing process at best, and it can kill you at worst. As I'm sitting here

thinking about it, I'm so mad at that doctor I could spit. It is

irresponsible to take someone off depression meds cold turkey. Even though

she is having trouble taking the Wellbutrin, instead of just nixing it, he

needs to find a way for her to take it, or find another antidepressent.

There is no reason that Wellbutrin cannot be crushed, as long as it is not

the time-released kind. I think it is imperative to treat the depression

aggresively at this point, and soon. This whole situation scares me silly.

Please do something soon. As you may have guessed, I speak from experience.

Zoloft is easy on my pouch. I take a relatively small dose of 50 mg once a

day. I take 1/2 of a 100mg tablet. It is about the size of a slightly

elongated pea and should fit through almost any stoma. I have a sensitive

pouch, but Zoloft has never bothered me... in fact... it gave me back myself

when I didn't even know I was missing...

Okay, in defense of the doctor though, you must be off some

antidepressants for a period of 7 days or so before you can be put on

another one or the drug combination could be lethal. I don't know if

that is the case with Wellbutrin but I know that you have to be off of

Seratonin and Paxil for atleast 7 days before starting anything else.

Well, yeah, I guess you're right there. I just reread my post. Do ya think

maybe I'm just a little emotional about about this stuff? I'm certainly not

angry, dammit! : )
