I was diagnosed with depression in 2005 and was also put on medication for my ocd (i have trichotilimania). I've been on numerous medications and once again, everything is falling apart. Currently I'm taking Fluvoxamine 200mg twice daily and Wellbutrin-XL 450mg daily. It really sucks because I have all these papers to do for my classes. I'm also on an injection of vitamin B12 once a month for the rest of my life. Here's what I'm experiencing...
- exhausted throughout the day
- taking constant naps
-t he day I give myself my B12 injection, the rest of the day I'm ***, *** anxious, paranoid, and figgity
- anxious on most days as well
- shaking/twitches
- crying spells
- no drive to do anything(I just sit in a chair and think for what seems like forever)
- pulling my hair out
- getting upset over the smallest things
- vision sometimes gets blurry and shakes back and forth when I'm focused on something
- I feel overwhelmed
- constantly constipated, ever since 2004, that's the latest I can remember
I'm thinking that possibly I don't need to be on this medication anymore. Is it possible that my body will work without it? Or on just one of those medications?? Like if I'm on Fluvoxamine and don't need the Wellbutrin, or the other way around? Please, anybody, I need some advice.

Ok.. I can understand how all these symptoms are making all of this very difficult.
First of all, please don't randomly stop your medications. The symptoms associated with withdrawal could be even worse!
You need to call your psychiatrist and see what he/she has to say. If they feel like your drugs should be stepped down then they can do that in a safe way.
I know it's hard but first and foremost look out for yourself and be safe.
