Thank you both for your quick response. I've been on Lamictal in the past for about 2 years and had minimal success but quit for other reasons. The only tricyclic I've tried is imipramine and yes it did help boost my mood but I started cycling with mood swings. Perhaps the nortrip is the better way to go. I have tried Wellbutrin in the past and felt very anxious on the 150 mg. SR so I had to back it down to 100 and then to 50 mg (I split the tablet). I do recall feeling better even with this little bit of Wellbutrin but I just couldn't get to a higher dose without feeling this awful anxiety. Any experience with that?
In addition, I do exercise, never tried parnate because of the dietary restrictions...I'm too scared. I've only tried Ritalin in the past and it definately gave me a boost, but I crashed badly and had to get off that roller coaster. Thanks so much for your suggestions. I may give Wellbutrin another go. -Stacey
