Hi, fizzgig!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I went to see my psychiatrist today and she took me off the danged Risperdal and switched me to Wellbutrin XL 150 mg/daily. I don;t know if its just me but I started feeling better only two hours or so after my first dose.

If my progress continues, Wellbutrin will be a resounding success for me!
