I am now taking the Wellbutrin 175 mg/day and will go back to the 2x/day next week. I am seeing my pdoc tomorrow and will see what he suggests - however, NO EXR!

I was never worse than I'd been before I'd started Wellbutrin.That's what I've been hearing and why I decided to go on and try the Wellbutrin without the EXR.

And here I am, still looking. :( I'm starting to think that even at reduced effectiveness Wellbutrin was better than anything else.

I hope you find the right "one" or combination. I have gone through several: Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, EXR, Trazadone (I slept through that one), Buspar, and the Wellbutrin and Klonopin combo. So far, Wellbutrin and Prozac (seperately) have done the best but the Prozac fizzled out. That has been 4 years ago so I don't know if it would work again or not. I think I will stick with the Wellbutrin and see how that goes. I am curious what my pdoc is going to suggest (and say about my NO EXR stand)....guess I'll find out tomorrow.Thanks for your suggestions!
