Have you told your pdoc about the twitches, the blurred vision, and the orthostatic hypotension? The combined action of monoamine oxidase inhibition - which raises levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin - and wellbutrin - which inhibits reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin - does seem to risk potentially dangerous levels of all three, especially serotonin. I think it would be wise to let him know you're having trouble.

> I didn't know you could combine the two either, but i trust my p-doc, he's good. I think it is a novel combination though, and he had some reservations, because i increased the nardil very, very slowly. I was on 45mg been on 60 mg. for about 2 weeks, still waiting for it to kick in. Actually, i do feel better, but i still have lethargy, lack of motivation, and anhedonia.
