Reply to "J-Pouch friendly antidepressants?"

I take Wellbutrin SR 2x a day and Lexapro in the morning. I have a past history of panic attacks, general and social anxiety which was pretty much history until I had an unexpected episode of acute kidney failure a few years ago that left me with a PTSD like level of anxiety and panic attacks. I have Xanax as needed for that though I don't take it often at all.  Over the years I took quite a few different ADs (along with Xanax regularly during my severe panic attack/agoraphobic years, and several different meds for adhd which I was diagnosed with in 1982) and very few both worked and agreed with me - Wellbutrin was the only one that made a positive difference without side effects. After the Kidney Failure incident we added a low dose of Lexapro and that seems to have contributed to things in a positive way. My depression when it's active is what is called atypical; I do the exact opposite of what ordinary depression brings out - I could sleep non stop, eat huge amounts of food I don't even like. I really haven't had serious depression issues since we got cats in 2012, so maybe that was the answer all along 😋
