Over and over I have been told by my doctors that Lamictal over 200 gives no benefit. But I take an extra 1/2 every so often when I am feeling overstressed, sort of how people use a Xanax. Probably not supposed to do it, and could very well be placebo effect.
The Wellbutrin can make some people really irritable, you may want to try a different antidepressant.
Celexa maybe? It is generic and had a very calming effect on me--I had to add Wellbutrin to get up and go because I was so content sitting around--but not anxiety inducing at all.
Or another AD entirely.
Or no AD at all, although I have never made it for more than a few weeks without falling directly into the pit.
