> First to Zannah--I have been on 150mgs Wellbutrin twice a day for 6 wks. Only result has been 15 pounds extra(due to sweets cravings). My Pdoc was amazed at such an atypical response. 3 days ago, he added 75mgs Serzone(increase to 150mgs in a week). Too soon for anything but unpleasant side effects, but will keep you posted--you're right about new AD during the holidays-Aarrgh!.....
Carol Ann (sorry for the cheesey Polterguist quip) :
There's not enough stimulant effect from the Wellbutrin? Maybe a higher dose, and maybe you can get that lift from something other than a stimulant (another AD such as an SSRI or Reboxetine?) SSRI really energized me for a while.
Here's a question for you...You're adding Serzone to Wellbutrin -- why? to control the cravings or reduce tension?
I'm about to do the opposite (add Wellbutrin to my Serzone for a little zip) and would like to know how they go together.
