Over the past two years I've become holisticly minded. I very rarely take tylenol and never artifical sweetners etc

I have an ongoing major depression w/sadness, no focus, indecision, isolation. My life changed 14 months ago when I quit a job I hated but supported me financially w/ a degree of security. Bad timing was a breakup the day before. I wouldn't label my funk depression for the 1st 7 months but rather extreme heartbreak as I struggled financially and tried to build a new business.

Well the business has proved to be challanging by virtue of the FDA (another story) + other things. I'm still doing it on a small level while going deeper into debt. I'm in a deep funk, often feel paralized, have way to much free time-which makes everything worse.

In desperation I got on Wellbutrin yesterday. For months I've considered it but always went back to "I'm going to defeat this funk by virtue of worthwhile action" I'm worried about putting these chemicals into my body.keep taking?

Don't listen to anyone telling you about the problems associated with stopping these drugs or being proud of 'not taking them at all'. I can relate entirely to what you wrote as I went through similar ten years ago after a lot of changes happened in my life. I refused to take anything and thought that I could deal with whatever was going on in my head, in the end, a friend lent me a book by Spike Milligan, and I got part way through chapter one and realised that someone out there really knew how i felt and that I wasn't going mad.
