Hi all. Hoping wellness. I do know, for a fact, weather affects mood. I have seasonal affective disorder ( SAD). My down times are fall & winter. I take antidepressants all year, &, even when it's a dreary summer day, I use my full spectrum light. Very helpful!!! Had depression all my adult life. Sucks, but does not define me. I'm Peggy first. What are others thoughts? Thx.

I've been on Welbutrin for a number of years. I felt that I might be due for a change, so I passed it by my primary physician. She put me on Vraylar along with Welbutrin. I was surprised how well that worked. No more anxiety episodes! Not bad for a tiny 2 mg pill. Next we addressed the letter I received from my insurance company. They told my I'd aged out of Welbutrin. Since it was working, the NP-C said to stay on it and use the Good RX card to my local food store and the 90 day supply, twice per day cost was less than $2 difference. I'm 73 yrs old so not quite ready to roll over and play dead. Hang tough my fellow MS friends! Don't allow insurance push you around!
