TITLE: HELP! Please help, me.....
TYPE: Question
GENDER: Female
EMAIL: Sodeemama

I am on Wellbutrin SR, 150mg x 2 per day, Abilify 10mg per day, Lithium 900 mg per day, Adderall 40mg per day, Hydroxyzine 50 mg per day, Klonopin 3.0 mg per day, Xanax 2.0 mg per day, and Clonodine 0.1 x 2 per day.....not only this, I have become very much addicted to Vicodin 5/500 for chronic pain because of a disengaged pelvis (after the birth of my third child in 3.5 years...yikes!!)....now taking the vicodin at least 3x daily..ALONG with everything else. I have even resorted to marijiuana (NEVER thought I would go there) to help me sleep at night, since the "downers" don't seem to be helping anymore. I have thought of maybe enrolling in a methadone program, because the withdrawals off of the vicodin have been excruciating....typical of a heroine addict. I just need someone to correspond with, or talk to....I'm very worried, and I love my kids. I just want to be the best mom I can be, and need some good leads. I do think I am an excellent mother, but I also want to take care of myself as well. Please help. Liz Angel PS: And yes, I have consulted my primary care physician who gave me the vicodin/percocet (haven't been able to find those, thank god), AND have consulted with my psychiatric doc...who gave me the clonidine to help "assist" my vicodin cravings. I am at a loss. sodeemama on AIM: voodoovampin1971 on MSN messenger: voodoovampin1971

I started taking the generic for Wellbutrin, Bupropion, 3 months ago. I think it is wonderful and I feel fantastic. I moved and switched my prescription to a different store. They gave me a different generic bupropion, one manufactured by Watson. It is a white pill with the letters WPI and the numbers 839 on it. It is coated also. I was taking a yellow pill manufactured by Teva before. I seriously believe that I feel differently on the Watson pill. I had no side effects with the Yellow pill and was so suprised at how great I felt. With the white pill I am experiencing all of the bad side effects, I don't sleep well and I have no energy. I called my Doctor and he said they had the same ingredients and I should just wait to talk to him about it during my next visit. Am I imagining this.....has anyone else felt like this?
