-Increased dose of Wellbutrin does craaaazy things to my brain. Anxiety as a side-effect + pre-existing anxiety disorders = five hours of me fidgeting compulsively and being totally unable to focus on anything. Hopefully it'll even out after a few days but whoa, that was a bit intense

-Have gotten mostly caught up on Merlin S2 (haven't watched tonight's ep yet, but soon!), and oh BBC, I love you and your iffy script-writing and bad special effects. Best moment so far was the incredibly awkward not-hug which I will be laughing about forever.

-I still hate 18th century lit ahhhhh.

Okay time to try to sleep :|

I felt like it was bizarrely fitting so I went with it haha. Yeah I was on 150, and then went up to 300 and promptly felt like my heart was going to give out - so the doctor put me down to 200 and added cipralex to curb my anxiety. The combo has actually worked out pretty well for me, which I understand is the case with a LOT of people on wellbutrin? In small doses I find it's great to keep me alert and focused (obviously not so much in larger doses) and it mixes well with other mood-adjusting drugs.

Yeah the only thing I find about Wellbutrin is it puts you on an insane sleep regimine. When I switched to the 300mg I was up at 7 am without fail, and then crashing utterly at 9 pm. Kind of like low-grade speed....... maybe a lower dose augmented with an anti-anxiety med might work in your case? IDK I just know a few people who it's worked for as well, so...


MORE TL;DR isn't Merlin awesome - I got to that part last night!! The troll bride arc was absolutely the best, this series needs less angst and more uncouth humour

Awww Yoite, Braska will give you a hug and cookies :< I actually sat down and read Nabari a couple weeks ago because Erin kept talking about it.

Haha it's worth trying to bring up next time I see my psych. I fell asleep sometime between 5:30 and 6am this morning after giving in and taking some zopiclone because my brain would just not shut up. I think at least part of it is that 150 to 300 was kind of a big jump up (it's the extended release which I don't think comes in 200, unfortunately), so I'm still trying to adjust to the increased dosage. Unfortunately pretty much everything that increases energy also increases anxiety as a side effect, aaah.

I know, that was great. I am also happy that this season has moar Uther because Anthony Head is kind of amazing.
