The good news is I enjoyed my birthday. My co-workers gave me a surprise birthday party and a $175.00 gift certificate to Tower Records. I was truly caught off guard and that certainly made my day. Bec I have to say that you truly have a way with words that enables a person to see things clearly. Trucker I appreciate the support and encouragement that everything will be okay. Thank you to both of you.
However, the day took a turn for the worst. The wellbutrin that I started taking this past Monday began to kick while I was at work. I was sitting down reading a file when my hands began to shake uncontrolably. My speech was affected as well because I would stutter trying to finish sentences but my nerves were preventing that. I became upset at that point and had to force myself to not cry about it. I called my cousin, who is a nurse, and she told me that feeling that way is a side effect. This lasted practically for the remainder of the day. I was also upset because if my doctor decides to take me off of the medicine should the symptoms not go away, then I will have wasted $115.00. So, I got past that and went home and my dad treated me to dinner. As we were leaving the restaurant around nine o'clock a good friend of mine called. The person whom I play pool with. She was in a car accident and her car was totaled. She only complained of neck pains and she too could not stop shaking. I stayed with her at the hospital until three o'clock in the morning when she was released and I had to find an all night pharmacy to get her prescriptions filled for her because when the medicine the doctor gave her wears off, she will feel the pain and I didn't want her to be in pain while she waits for someone to go get her prescription filled. I made it home at five o'clock and I slept for a few hours. I have decided to go to work. I took the medicine this morning and I am feeling the same effects along with some additional side effects. I started to cry again because it seems like nothing is working and if anything, the medicine is causing me to think about the rape more often. If I stay at home, I will be depressed and I don't want to cry again. I will continue to take medicine to see if things change for the better. If things do not change, then it will prove to be time and money wasted.

Wow that is so cool about your birthday suprise! Mmmm new cd's that a good thing always. I love music. It is like a diffrent language and there are diffrent songs for diffrent moods. The meds well I am a meds dummy so thats one I cant help you with. I will say it is most likely the best thing to take them for ahwile to see if the side affects stop.Again Happy Birthday:-}
