Hi,
I've been off the board for a while also. Just saw your thread and I have taken the combination of 90mg Nardil, 300mg bupropion and 1mg clonazepam. The bupropion did help with my fatigue and weight gain from the Nardil. If you have anger issues, chances are the bupropion will add to these. Every time I've been on the medication it has created a lot of anger in my usual kicked back personality. Other side effects from the combination were minimal. I do remember being a little scatter-brained on the combo. As I remember, the newer XL version is a lot smoother and more expensive than the SR version or plain bupropion. I have read that you can't split the SR and maintain a sustained release. The release mechanism is something in the caplet itself.I know it is officially contraindicated, but I really don't know why. It was a fairly good augmentor of Nardil for me. Eventually the PDOC who had me on it retired; the next doctor was too chicken to continue it. I have tried to get my current Doc to add Provigil but he would not go for it. Now I am augmenting 75mg of Nardil with 80mg of Geodon; it seems to be working quite well. I think it is the effect on 5-HT2A that makes this atypical antipsychotic a good augmentor.
Good Luck,
Jedi
