Re: has Wellbutrin helped your depression?

I find Wellbutrin helps most with anhedonia and lack of energy, rather than primary depression. However, I also get a lot of anxiety/agitation with it - I can only handle 75-100 mg a day without a fair whack of benzo's to compensate. At 300 mg/day, plus some GABA-type tranquilizers, I felt great but (my family assure me) was on the edge of classic mania.

I am probably type 2/3 bipolar/cyclothymic, and have been taking Lamictal for about 3 months. I want to stabilize the Lamictal (currently 250 mg.day) and decrease or eliminate some of the other meds I have been taking, then see how I do; but I am curious whether Wellbutrin with Lamictal would be less agitating/hypomanic-inducing.
