John,I started 1/4 of a 75mg generic tab of bupropion twice daily in addition to my current meds (Neuron./Klon./Zoloft). I am to titrate that upwards every few days to a provisional "max" of 100mg/day. I could barely tell that I took it-which is a *good* sign! I think my med sensitivities are actualy signals from my body/brain that certain substances aren't really being tolerated well and perhaps maybe I should reconsider them. My pdoc confirmed your Zoloft discussion about motor functioning and dopamine interference ("Zoloft is the worst offender BTW"). Nothing was suggested for an SSRI swap at this time, though (perhaps because the dosage is already so low and SSRI's worsen my cycling-maybe an SSRI discontinuation may be in the future?).
