Thereishope,

Interesting new tack. I've never heard of switching from wellbutrin XL to wellbutrin SR. Id be curious to know the logic behind this. I would think that if someone is not repsonding to a medication then simply switching the dosing regimen would seem silly. But Im not a doctor so what do I know.

Regarding adding a benzo, Im taking .5mg/day klonopin with the wellbutrin and I cant really say if its helped or not. I can say that the wellbutrin has not helped with certainty, so side effects be damned, Im walking out of my appt monday with either clomipramine or desipramine. I've always been a bit lucky with side effects anyway.

If you take a low dose benzo(go with one of the weaker ones like klonopin, not xanax), dont worry too much about withdrawl or other side effects. Ive never exceeded .5mg (except when I get on an airplane) and I've always been able to take it on an 'as needed' basis. If i miss a dose for two or three days I often wont realize it.

Definitely think positive. You never know with these things. It certainly wont make things worse, and in a strange way thats always a good thing.

Take care of yourself and post me during the week on how you are faring.
