Hi, I’m Gillian, I just completed a year of chemotherapy after a double mastectomy, and last month had a final reconstructive surgery. I failed all the aromatase inhibitors due to extreme bone pain; I already have hEDS. I’m back on Tamoxifen now and my medical oncologist took me off my Wellbutrin. I understand why, but now, after years of comfortable mental stability, I cannot stop crying. I’m still on 20 mg of Lexapro, but the combination of the 150 Wellbutrin with it, was my perfect normal. Anyone have suggestions for a Wellbutrin substitute? I cannot live like this. P.S. I’m a mom of two girls with multiple genetic chronic illnesses, and need to be mentally solid for them too. Thank you in advance.
