> Lin,
I'll be happy to discuss this with you. For anyone else interested, I'm on 5 x 100 mg Wellbutrin SR (2@6am, 2@noon, 1@6PM), 150 mg desyrel at bedtime, and 450 mg eskalith CR at bedtime. The eskalith is the most recent addition, and was added to boost things. We started at a higher dose of desyrel, but I've cut back to feel more awake in the morning. I'm on a variety of other stuff for high blood pressure, migraine headaches, bc pills, so my Dr. has had to be very adaptable. My depression has always been drug-resistant, and this mix works for me.
I've used some cognitive therapy (4 yrs) in the past (10 yrs ago) to help focus on the important things, and I still use those skills when I find myself obsessing about what's wrong with my life.
I tried some melatonin about 2 years ago to help me sleep, and I found out it was really hanging on the next day, and I never felt like I was awake. I slept really well, though. Look at any other things you're taking--they may be dragging you down without you realizing it.
Let me know if you would like any other information
Good Luck
Carol
