Looking for Medication Advice for PTSD, Depression, and Chronic Pain

Adding wellbutrin to my lexapro and buspar has worked well for me. Maybe give it a try.

I've been researching Wellbutrin as a possible option for it's off label use to help with my ADHD as I'm not wanting to start stimulants at the moment (at least not until I can get an in-depth neuropsych evaluation which won't be for 6+months) and so it's moved up on my list of meds to ask about at my appointment! And thank you for the encouragement to try something new because I have been hesitant to seek other options because it took me 4 years of misdiagnoses and meds that didn't work to find Lexapro, but Im at the point now where I know it'll be worth it in the end and so the encouragement is very appreciated

Hi hun thanks for sharing! I'm sorry your going through that I understand that completely I was on Prozac for years for my depression until I had a bad depression bout where I just hit my wall so to speak about a year and a half ago where I needed a hard reset. I worked as a paramedic in an ER in the height of COVID and just broke down. After a small inpatient stay which was a god sent mentally, physically and spiritually I was started on Lexapro but in conjunction with Wellbutrin. I also have really bad anxiety so the new combo actually worked. Definitely be open to trying something new, I switched meds a few times before the dam prozac that Ignored the signs it wasn't working as well bc I was scared of going through that process again. But it is worth it, Goodluck and here's to feeling better👍
