First of all, hats off to you for beating your addiction. I know it's one of those battles you will likely fight every day.. but it's one you can WIN.
So I think it's great you chose to fight the thing through and not let it keep you defeated. Congrats to you!!!
Now... I noticed on this new med I am on for mood stabilization, it says it is good for anyone coming off cocaine and other type of drugs.I'm not up to date on the difference between cocaine and meth so it may have absolutely no benefit to you but the drug is called Depakote.
Maybe you could do something like Wellbutrin during the day (since it's stimulating) and something like Depakote for mood stabilization in the evening.
Definitely share your thoughts with your dr. I think if they know where you are coming from, that gives them a big clue on how to "treat" you medically.
and once again, hats off to you! It's a task that doesn't need to go unnoticed.
