I have been on some form of SSRI since I was nine years old. I took Paxil for about ten years, with one break for about four months where I was on Cymbalta. One day the Cymbalta just completely stopped working and I had to go back to Paxil. Recently I have decided to change my medication because the side effects of Paxil - low energy, weight gain, apathy, to name a few - were really affecting me negatively, and I started feeling helplessly depressed again.
I switched to a combination of Lexapro and Wellbutrin and have recently increased the dosage to 30mg Lexapro and 450mg Wellbutrin. A hefty amount of drugs, to say the least. I'm concerned that this is simply too much, and am definitely feeling some uncomfortable side effects from these meds (sweating, ringing in the ears...)
I want to know your experience with SSRIs and other prescription mental health drugs, your opinions on overmedication and stuff like that. So yeah, any input would be appreciated
