Yep, that's the case. I usually take a generic, but because of some insurance brouhaha I ended up going to a different pharmacy and getting just enough of a different generic to last me through the weekend. I should be able to go to my normal pharmacy (and thus hopefully get my normal generic) tomorrow.

If the side effects were like this all the time, I would not take it. I've been taking a different generic for three or four weeks now, though, and it's been fine—I should be able to fill a prescription for that tomorrow, and hopefully that will solve the problem. An emergency prescription might have been wise,…

Yeah, I should have thought about that before I said yes to wine. Fortunately I shouldn't be on this version more than another day or so before I'm back to the one I had before.

Yep, the doctor knows I'm leaving. And fortunately, I should be able to fill my prescription (for the next few months) at my normal pharmacy, so hopefully I'll be back on the version I usually take.

My insurance won't cover the brand name, just the generic—and since I haven't been on the brand name, I probably wouldn't want to switch all of a sudden anyway. And unfortunately I need several months' worth to take with me, so samples probably won't do much good.

I have to get an updated prescription tomorrow anyway (because insurance), so I should be able to go to my normal pharmacy. I'm hoping that getting the same generic I've been taking will get me back to normal. It doesn't help that I couldn't get to a pharmacy on Friday, so I missed a whole day.

I know, and I appreciate the support.

I'll be in Lyon—not as many options as Paris, but big enough that I might be able to track down someone who speaks English. (My French isn't awful, but probably not good enough to do a medical.) I know I have international insurance through my school, but I don't recall how it works as far as reimbursements are…

I'll be in Lyon.

Thanks for the suggestion! I probably won't have a smartphone while I'm there, but I imagine a lot of the app developers are also linked to online programs.

I know it's not a plan, but I'm probably not entitled to any ADD-related services because the French almost never recognize it as an actual condition, and I have no desire to start therapy for anxiety while I'm there (since I've had nothing but miserable experiences here).

Ugh. I've never had issues with hangovers before (not that I drink often, but I've definitely had more in the past), so I really hope that's not going to be a permanent side effect of the Wellbutrin.

Since it's a stimulant, it helps for some people (and Adderall wasn't effective for me, which is what I started out with). I'm hoping I can find something online to help me with CBT-type things, since I don't know that I want to navigate therapy (and insurance) while I'm abroad.

I've been on it for a few weeks, gradually increasing the dose, and I've been at this dose for about a week. I had to go to a different pharmacy this time, though, and they stock a different generic than I've been taking so I'm stuck with that for a few days.

I have to see her tomorrow anyway, since there was some chaos with the insurance and the prescription. I'll ask her about it—I'm hoping if it is Wellbutrin-related, it's just this formulation; I had to go to a different pharmacy this time (because of the aforementioned insurance issues) so I have a weekend's worth of…

No worries, if I minded prying I wouldn't have posted! I'm studying abroad for the year, so school.

Ugh, I hope not. It's been most of a day at this point, and I really didn't have a lot. (I was just extra-lightweight b/c of the Wellbutrin and an empty stomach—poor decision on my part, I know.) I haven't had any of the "normal" hangover symptoms (headache, light sensitivity, etc.) either.

Supposedly there's decent support from the program, and my host mom just happens to be a child psychologist so I suspect that if I need help, she would know where to point me. I'm really hoping I just don't have to worry about it, though—my social anxiety is manageable, and I'm taking the Wellbutrin for ADD rather…

Ooh, cookies.

I'm spending my junior year studying abroad. It's not really the best timing, but it's go now or go never. (Well, or go in January, but I don't want to do that.)
