I think I'm done with medication
What it says on the tin, I'm giving up on antidepressants. I recently got a gene test done that revealed some unfortunate news: not only do I have a short form of the serotonin gene, but I have an abnormal metabolism that makes SSRI's ineffective, not to mention a whole host of other medications. On top of this I don't produce dopamine or serotonin effectively on my own.
The only options I have are designer drugs that cost hundreds of dollars, drugs my insurance won't cover.
I've been on Wellbutrin for nearly a month now and somehow feel worse than before and I'm just. Tired. I'm tired and I'm done.
Not sure why I'm posting this on a public forum. Couldn't tell you. A confession to strangers can be freeing, I guess. That's about all I've got.
