But I would rather try everything else first. I am hypersensitive to every kind of drug - even decongestants make me feel horrible, and painkillers that are mild to others knock me for a loop - so I resist medication, afraid of side effects. I also don't want to go through the process of adjusting to Wellbutrin every fall and getting off of it every spring...So for me, I will try the light box first.SUEB0Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301963922769609715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-1164912242341887292006-11-30T10:44:00.000-08:002006-11-30T10:44:00.000-08:00Wellbutrin saved my life.

Fewer side effects.<BR/><BR/>NOT slamming you and your decision to medicate or not, Suebob...just wondering here. Why are we always so reluctant to take medicine that will help us with brain chemistry? Meds like Wellbutrin regulate chemistry. Insulin regulates chemistry too, but most diabetics don't say "oh, I don't like the idea of having to take a medication for the rest of my life, so I'm not going to." Well, they COULD say that. But then they'd probably not do too well.<BR/><BR/>I may or may not take Wellbutrin or another OCD-regulating anti-depressant med for the rest of my life. But for now, it fixes what needs to be fixed (St.John's wort didn't do the trick, unfortunately), and I take it along with the multi-vitamin I choose to take every single morning.<BR/><BR/>We're all grateful for different things. I'm grateful for the pill that allows me the freedom to be myself, instead of that chick who cries and washes her hands all the time. :DCaroliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637418089860927715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-1164859422584919552006-11-29T20:03:00.000-08:002006-11-29T20:03:00.000-08:00Wow.

Who knows, but what I do know is that depression can be agonizing. I've been on Wellbutrin for PPD and I found it helpful. I'm actually considering getting back on it because things outside of my control have become a little overwhelming for me recently.<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who gets seasonal depression and she hangs a papier macher sun in her work space and has a special lamp to keep her spirits going.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I wish you the best during this challenging time of year.Perstephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087972919822567590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-1164815530838321012006-11-29T07:52:00.000-08:002006-11-29T07:52:00.000-08:00Ah!

Remember that Technorati is not always right - for example, if someone links somewhere - anywhere - other than the front page, then they don't list it. Like, for example, if you're listed on Amalah or Sweetney or Chirky (these are the only three I can think of at the moment, but I know there are more!) who uses a separate page for links, then it'll never show up. <BR/><BR/>Technorati blows. <BR/><BR/>However!
