My diagnosis: ADD & chronic major depression

I was taking Wellbutrin SR 300 mg/day & Ritalin 40-60 mg/day. My biggest complaint was mood swings and fits of anger. I was initially treated for Bipolar II, Rapid Cycling and was prescribed Depakote. That made me as close to a zombie as I've ever been. I felt dead.

My doc concluded I was not Bipolar, but was experiencing "atypical major depression, with agitation." My problem went away COMPLETELY
when he added 20 mg/Prozac to the mix.

Now I take:
Wellbutrin SR 300 mg/day
Ritalin 40-60 mg/day
Prozac 20 mg/day

By the way, my doc insisted on treating for Bipolar first, since the drugs he had prescribed
for ADD can make Bipolar worse.

Good luck...
