Apparently, taking Meridia along with SSRI's can sometimes cause a condition called "Sertonin Syndrome". Here's a link for anyone interested:

I guess Wellbutrin in not an SSRI (My psych doc told me the other day)so it SHOULDN'T be an issue. Anyway, I am going to try upping my Wellbutin to 400mg a day and see if that helps before trying the Meridia. My Primary care doc prescribed Ambien for me and it does not agree with me. I have had a couple of rough days. So, I'm reluctant to try another new med.
My goal is also to one day be totally off all Rx meds. It may not happen because my depression is so pervasive but it is still a good goal to try for.
Thanks for writing.
