Reta depression
So I started taking reta in the last week of February starting at 2mg. I kept doing 2mg every week I was feeling fine and I was steadily loosing weight. I had no problems going to the gym I felt motivated like I always did when it came to everyday tasks, but fast forward to the last week of April I started to feel so demotivated and just down all the time and I didn’t really think to much of it I just thought it was the normal case of the blues but it started to become a red flag when I wouldn’t want to workout anymore which is not like me at all. All I was doing was just sleeping when I would get home even though I was getting 8 hours of sleep daily and I. Just always felt tired. I’m very consistent when it comes to working out and dieting. So I knew something was up. I went for my yearly check up and blood work with my physician and I told her how I was just unmotivated and just very tired even though I was getting enough sleep. She referred me to a psychiatrist, when I went to go see the psychiatrist they gave a me long list of questions and talked to me for about an hour. I never mentioned to them how I was taking Reta since I didn’t think it was relevant and it just didn’t cross my mind at all. Anyways the psychiatrist came to the conclusion that I had depression and anxiety disorder. This came at a shock to me since I’m a very happy person. Anyways they prescribed me Wellbutrin (Bupropion) starting at 150mg then upped it to 300mg later due to it not having an effect on me. Then in the beginning of May my dog died suddenly and I was barely sad which was insane to me and then the next week after that my girlfriend dumped me. Not to mention my brother who I’m really close with is going to the military next week. After going through all these things I was just left feeling not as sad as I would be. I just felt like nothing happened and as if I didn’t care. Then I decided to see if Reta might be a factor and holy shit it was the reason why I was feeling how I was. So I’m going to completely hop off Reta since I was only doing 2mg.
