First, Lexapro has helped tremendously with GAD for the past 6 months; and it still does to extent…but it has come with its own issues. SSRI’s always seem to have me nodding off during all hours of the day. I mean to a point where it looks like I’m drugged.

So, not long ago my Doc placed me on Wellbutrin. The Wellbutrin kicked in roughly 16 weeks ago, so it’s safe to say it’s fully working now.

Similar story though. It worked wonders for the lack the motivation, depression, and helped a bit with the nodding off. It initially gave me more focus and energy too. However, those positive effects are slowly fading away, now I can’t really tell if it’s helping, it’s like little to no effect is slowly increasing each day.

Now, this is where I’d like to hear from you and get any thoughts or feedback you might have.

Not only am I nodding off, and feeling tiered, BUT I’m borderline hallucinating. It’s as if random thoughts or “actions” occur. Like a specific topic is brought up or a question is asked and it seems real. It could even be a tasks that I (thought) completed or I’ve been asked to complete, only to find out it was all made up in my head. Like having a dream while I’m awake that seems so real. I have to tell myself, that didn’t actually happen.

The other day I got up from my home office desk and walked outside to see the damage on my car from a wreck I was in that morning. I had a local dealership on call to discuss the pricing. Got outside and found out my car was fine, I hadn’t even driven my car in the past three days. Wow! However, in my head it happened.

NOW: While writing this exact post, I just thought I was requesting a quote on a freelancer site (kid you not, this happened right this second).

Has anyone else been through this, if so was there anything you’d recommend to help avoid or manage this sort of symptom. Is it lack of good sleep or could it be the SSRI’s? Curious if it’s happened to anyone else.

Looking forward to hearing feedback from everyone.
