I am also taking Welbutrin SR for anxiety & depression. I'm on their 'indigency' program, because I have no health insurance coverage at all. My psychiatrist got me on it. I find it's not working as I, too, thought it would. But I can't afford to pay for any other psych meds. I'm also on Xanax for panic attacks & anxiety. I was placed on it in 1972, and am now 'chemically dependent' on it. I've tried, with the Dr.'s help to go on something else, but every time I do, I wind up in ER. So I HAVE to take the 4mg. of Xanax, now, probably for the rest of my life. I'm 60 years old. When I'm lonely, I like to try to read. I love Christian fiction...mainly Amish. I get 'lost' in my books. I also have a very close relationship with the Lord. I was married for 28.5 years, and my ex divorced me for another woman. I had never worked in my whole life, and had a nervous breakdown after working 2 years as a telephone survey researcher. I haven't worked since then. I have gotten into 3 very bad relationships since my divorce, looking for that 'love' that would take away my 'loneliness.' Did I find it? No...just had to go bankrupt after 10 years of guys who 'used' me in return for helping me feeling 'loved.' Then each one left when I said 'no' to any more money being shelled out to them. I LOVE to listen to music. But I'd like to ask 'how' do you listen to music IF all your favorites are based one being lonely? I love all musics except polkas...but every time I try to listen to them, I cry, or get very sad. Oh, and I also found out I have SAD. I get full of anxiety when in crowds, at parties, weddings, you name it. I just thought for many years I was crazy. But Social Anxiety Disorder now has a name. Maybe if they would have found this out earlier in my life...I would still be married. I wasn't 'lonley' while I was married. I cooked, cleaned, read, sewed, did many crafts, cut the entire lawn, and was very active in our church. I just couldn't go to 'gatherings.' So, that's a little bit of 'my' story. I keep taking the Wellbutrin SR, because I don't know what I'd be like 'without' it. ~Diana Lynn~
