In reply to Depakote/Wellabutrin combo? Experience?, posted by vagen on December 7, 2002, at 1:58:26
Hi,
I've been on Depakote since 1994. In 1995, Wellbutrin was added and my mood shot up. Wellb is a more energizing AD than others. It really is great. For me, however, I needed an extra lift in the Seratonin department, so in 1997 was also put on an SSRI AD. That made my mood shoot up even more. I'm almost back to feeling "normal", that is, as I did before bi polar illness really got a hold of me. But it's stil not enough. I've been taking SAM - e for ten days now and really feel better than I have on other prescription ADS. I'm almost getting there! I'm still on Wellbutrin (300 mg), Depakote (500), Serzone (250) and now SAM - e (200). You're experience with Wellb and Dep should be a positive one. Give it a couple months. I'm assuming you're bi polar 2?
