What Do You Suggest For Lack Of Concentration And Problems With Understanding When On Zyprexa,stelazine?
I am taking Zyprexa 30mg, stelazine 20mg, Zoloft 200mg, clonazepam 0.5mg, bisoprolol 10mg, metformin 1000mg, wellbutrin 300mg. I have had lack of concentration, problems with understanding what I read and memory problems. Fortunaetily, wellbutrin helps me with these problems.I think if I take Wellbutrin 450mg it will make a significant difference. But my psychiatrist is against this idea. I just turned 48yrs old without any other problem, except high blood pressure which is under control. Can you give me ideas as to how I can persuade my doctor to prescribe 450mg of wellbutrin

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
You should continue with wellbutrin 300 mg. Increasing the dose may result in seizures, that is why your treating doctor is against it.
Lack of concentration and memory problems are common when on antidepressant. In my patients i usually add tab Tetrafol 7.5 mg once or twice daily. It has showed remarkable difference and there was no need to increase or decrease the dose of ongoing medication.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
