Hi there.
Ritalin might be worth a try too.
It might be interesting to try adding Provigil (modafinil) to Wellbutrin (bupropion). A recent investigation studying the use of Provigil as an augmenting agent included two bipolar patients for whom it was combined with Wellbutrin. Bipolar depression shares many of the anergic (low energy) features you both describe. Both had also failed to respond to Prozac (fluoxetine). Of the ten patients treated with various Provigil + antidepressant combinations, the two taking Wellbutrin showed the most dramatic improvements. The dosages used were 100mg and 200mg. A trial of Provigil should extend for at least two weeks.
Have either of you ever tried Effexor?
