derien | I waver back the other way...

rowantree - I appreciate your thoughtful and well-written responses to my last entry. Hopefully I'll be able to make individual responses which do them justice when I'm not dead dog tired. The very point that Wellbutrin is not instantaneous and it's probably the placebo effect makes me think that I am not, in general and usually, depressed enough for this stuff to make a real difference in my life. If I was very depressed, and missing work and such, it might be worthwhile, but I think I've only missed one day of work in the past three years because of depression, and that wasn't in this past year. Over all, I think I've been getting better, actually, in the past few years, even though I've been blah quite a lot in the past year and a bit more so in the past couple of months. I could be headed for a worse depression, but... well, I just think perhaps I should wait and see. Just weighing up how I've generally been feeling against all the potential side effects, I don't think this equation is coming out in the favor of the medication. I think I'll call the dr's office tomorrow and tell them I won't be doing this experiment right now. Unless of course I feel absolutely horrible when I wake up, tomorrow. ;)
