> I, too, take Wellbutrin during the day in adjunct to my night dose of Remeron. The past few days I have been *sick*...I mean, dizzy, nauseus, monstrous gas, etc. It would cycle so I'd be really sick one minute and feel fine the next. Weird. Today, I increased my Wellbutrin to 300mg/day. When the anxiety kicked in, I upped my Buspar to 20mg/day. For some reason, it made the sickness stop. ?????

You might find some useful information there: http://www.egroups.com/links/psycho-babble-tips/Remeron_000963366608/MB - I have no experience but it sounds like the Remeron is to counteract the WB at night. I've been taking Klonopin for some years right before bed while Ive been on 400mgs of WB. It's really worked pretty well. Klonopin seems to act for me like a relaxant. It doesn't knock me out and it doesn't make me feel drugged in the AM. You might talk to an MD about it.
