I'm on a moderate dose of welbutrin. I take it for anxiety, compulsions, a wee-bit of semi-pyschosis (I think I catch stuff out of the corner of my eye, or hear whispers but never actually see anything or hear anything distinct so I was told it's not classified as actual psychosis. of course my brother sees and hears stuff all the time and is he nuts? no. he's psychic.), depression, intense-to-the-point-of-overwhelming emotions. Welbutrin doesn't work as well as the other meds I take and it causes my to get tongue tied (which virtually never happened before I took it) but it doesn't cause weight gain (and the others did) and all I really need is the edge off and I can deal with the rest. I don't need the meds to fix me.
I've never taken drugs, and I've never fancied getting drunk. Slightly buzzed has always been quite enough for me. I don't drink often. Once or twice a month. I take a multivitamin, and claratin, and valerian root for good sleep, and occasionally a sleeping aid when the nightmares are wearing me out...
I exercise regularly, try to get enough sleep, and drink teas, I also know a good bit about the effects of different herbs and spices on the body and mind and try to utalize those too.
