Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How long can I take Wellbutrin XL 450 mg safely? I have tried to lower the dosing to 300 mg, but it my very depressed mood always returns. I have been taking the brand name 450 XL for years now, and I am becoming concerned. The generic form does nothing for me; I have tried to switch to the generic several times, but for whatever reason I end up feeling extraordinarily depressed in a few weeks. I hate to think about having to take this RX for the rest of my life!
hi thank you for asking your concern. yes you are right almost all of us do not want to take any medicine for rest of our life there are very few condition where it is necessary to take the drugs to live a good quality of life. among these depression is one condition where you may need to take medicines for few years but not for life time unless you try some other therapies. no allopathy drug can guarantee of treating depression because depression itself is a condition where you need a holistic and comprehensive approach. for the time being you can switch to other medicines after consulting your doctor. but i would suggest you to try different things like hobbies, reading various books, india is extremely beautiful country please travel and explore it, go to some village try farming some time, there are multiple things which you can try but i would suggest you to explore by your own. i believe you will try different things feel free to ask any doubt regards dr. abhijit
