Fire Courage Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I was seen in mental health today and they prescribed me this medication. I am supposed to go back in a month to evaluate how the medicine is doing. He said they may have to increase the dosage at that time. Has anyone used or currently using this medicine? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks 100% P&T SMC-S SMC-K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vet and wife 4 life Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Bupropin is taken by my husband as well as Citalopram and Divalproex and Alprazolam. All for mental health. The Bupropin was discontinued after he had a seizure last year. The Bupropin has been restarted this past week. When he was taking it did help but does take time to work into your system. We hope this helps you also. Vet and wife 4 life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Courage Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks for the response vet and wife. I was curious because this is the first medicine prescribed to me for mental health. The doctor did say if would take awhile to get in my system. He also said I would become irritable at the beginning. My wife commented that it won't be from the medicine. 100% P&T SMC-S SMC-K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted December 16, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks for the response vet and wife. I was curious because this is the first medicine prescribed to me for mental health. The doctor did say if would take awhile to get in my system. He also said I would become irritable at the beginning. My wife commented that it won't be from the medicine. I've been taking this medication for several years, sometimes they have to increase it. I was, for a while a couple of years ago, taking a couple hundred miligrams more than reccomended, but they finally (or, maybe I should say, I finally) got me down again, to the reccomended maintenance dosage. It has made a good improvement since I have been taking it. I just worry that, someday, it will become less effective and I will not be able to tolerate a vastly increased dosage.........then I'll be up the creek sans paddle. "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbsepter Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have had the same meds, and I found that this is one that has helped me more than any other with my PTSD(30%) and depression. I had to get used to it, as it did cause some irritation/aggrivation in the begining until we got the dosage correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder cowgirl Posted January 21, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 21, 2010 All dependent on the person, mine works, so far. Got 'happy' about three weeks into it. Can't figure life without it been taking it for awhile. Missed a couple of doses and had repercussions, moody, 'whys everybody always looking at me' feelings. I have more confidence in myself, I think. Best to ya, Cowgirl'up! For my children, my God sent husband and my Hadit family of veterans, I carry on. God Bless A m e r i c a, Her Veterans and their Families! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
