I went to see my actual psychiatrist today, i didn't like the experience she was not really listening to me i feel good already and the coping techniques have been helpful
These pills have too many side effects the one that scares me most is that it will lower white blood cells and cause seizures.....
If anyone is or has been on this medication please share with me how you reacted to it thank you

I've been on this drug at 15mg for 3 years and been fine. Blood tests all normal but have your cholesterol monitored as it can raise it slightly.
These are one of the most effective antidepressants. Its dangerous to read too much into the small print rare side effects. The effect on WBCs is very rare in the data sheet it says "has been reported". Similalry the effect on seizures. Compare it with things you do each day without worrying about them - choking has been reported with eating, death with driving etc.
Is this the same as Wellbutrin? If it is, that's what I've started lately. It definitely made a huge difference for me the first few weeks. The last few days I've been struggling but I feel like it may be because I'm sick and about to start my cycle? I dunno if that helps.
it seems psychotropic are really not a one size fits all!!! my Dr change Welbutrin in day to Remeron at night. I've been taking Seroquel, which she had me add the Remeron. Yesterday, I saw her assistant and the PA didn't understand simple English.. I put my foot down that I don't like them. Today I found myself in a violent rage, with anx butterflies so bad that I was shaking and cramping. I called my Dr's office and they disconnected the line. I thought (assumed) they did it deliberately after asking me to hold, to call an ambulance for me, because if the symptoms Im having. I calmed down, but I was considering 911.. and really didn't want to be in ER.. so glad I didn't.. as well as Im glad the med secretary didn't call.. although, Im not happy she disconnected beause of incompetence.. not escalation. I googled this Rx and it seems the reviews are night and day as far as being helpful.. but there are a lot of rage experiences.. so buyer beware
