> HI Racer, it seems we are on the same meds. Provigil, cymbalta and wellbutrin. (I also take Buspar and some klonopin. I had tried wellbutrin in the past and couldn't take it in the immediate release form. Now I am the SR 100mg BID and am tolerating it really well. I agree, I think it is the one that is going to bring this all together. I was wondering how many mg you were taking and also was wondering if the XL version would be even better?

The rest of the day kinda comes as it will, so remembering meds later in the day is not as easy.) I'm taking 150mg, but have been thinking it's time to think about going back up to 300mg. There's a lot going on for me, and I'm getting a bit depressed, and more than a little anxious, but again -- that's situational in my case, not med failure.
I've been trying to keep my meds to the minimum necessary to keep me functioning, which is maybe not always the best idea, but I've thought more than a few times that the Wellbutrin alone might be enough to keep me functional. I'm not sure that's true, though, and this ain't the time to try it.
Hope that helps.
