Hello. I have depression and my diagnosis is f 33.1. Medications, that I take are: 50 mg lamictal in the morning and before sleep trittico 50 mg before sleep wellbutrin 150 mg twice a day last month ir two I can not smile or laugh anymore, not because of feeling sad, but I have a "poker face" and if I try to fake smile, it does not seem like smile at all. Also I can not keep conversation, sentences that I make are short and ends discussion very fast. Because ot these things I can not normally communicate with colleges, friends, family and even my loved one. I wonder, could it be wellbutrin, that make me feel and act like this? Cause I use it regular for about last 2 months. Before that I took 20 mg fluoxetine 3 times a day.

I think the problem you are telling is not for any drug. your depression is the main cause. You can ask your physician to start lithium in stead of lamictal if you have no problem of thyroid and pregnancy. That will help you.

It may be possible due to medications. You have to discuss these issues with the treating psychiatrist and get better alternatives. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, your symptoms may be due to your major depressive disorder itself or may be due to side effects of drugs used. You are welcome to discuss with your doctor about fluoxetine's benefits vs side effects. Some combination of wellbutrin, trittico and fluoxetine may give you maximum benefit and less side effects. You may have to try it out after discussing with your doctor. Lamictal dose needs to be increased in due course. Please remember that there is no medicine without side effects. Some side effect like sedation by trittico may be beneficial to you.

Dear, you must be able to distinguish between mental disease and mental disorder. Your problem is a mental disorder. Not a mental disease. These mental disorders are usually treated with a combination of medicines and other means like awareness, meditation, psychotherapy techniques, life style changes etc. I think two or three counseling sessions and psychotherapy techniques should solve your problem. Let me know if you are willing to undergo counseling sessions and tailor made psychotherapy through mobile. Take care.
