Replies to 'Depression'

Yes, Welbutrin XL is for depression and numerous other conditions as well. My doctor first put me on it last year for anxiety and to help me quit smoking and to help me lose weight. It helped me quit smoking( I've been smoke free since Jan of 2005, Yahoo!!), but that is all, I feel nothing else has changed, as a matter of fact since quitting smoking I've gained like 25lbs  : (   and I still suffer with my bouts of depression and feelings of worthlessness and not being good enough. I have bouts of rage as well, especially at home with my children, why? I really can't say. All I can say is it makes me feel worse when I yell at my kids or my husband, but I keep doing it???? I told my doctor I wanted to try something stronger for depression and she said no, because she thinks its not depression, but "anxiety" that is why I wanted to switch doctors. Anyway, I talked to Medicaid today and they are sending me a new list of doctors so I can pick another doctor. The one I choosen stopped taking new patients, so see if its not one thing, its ALWAYS something else, but in time things will get better....I know they will because I've got God on my side and all of you guys here on the boards support. Thank all of you so much and thanks for taking time to re-ply.
