I have a client who has gone off Welbutrin. She was happy while on it, but now she is very sad, but aggressive??
This is a dragon that you have on your hands. Just going off without any type of herbal substitute is going to be a long and tough road. If you feel this is out of your hands, I would refer them out. The reason she as fine and now is not is because these drugs just keep serotonin on the synaptic cleft longer. They don’t actually create more of it. But because of the body’s down regulation from something that is constantly there, the body will stop producing its own. So the drugs actually make things worse!
So my rec would be to find someone like me, Dr Kalish, Dr Oliver, etc that can work with this person. I have found that with nutrition, as well as Amino Aacid therapy that these people make great progress. Lab test can be done to find out if parasites, bacteria, as well as AA def are facilitating this dysfunction. Nutritionally, I have found that a more protein type like creates great success. Nutrition foundational principles and healing the gut are key to her success. From taking all those meds, I will be she has major Dysbiosis, leaky gut, hypochlorhydria, and so forth. The theory behind this is that most people with depressive like symptoms have major gut issues. I have found through research the carbs actually create serotonin release, which can and does deplete any stores that are left. As well, a lot of mood disorders are created through blood sugar handling issues. So initially I like to give the pancreas a break and get their blood sugar under control in order to stabilize their moods.
