> The weight loss med tenuate is similar to wellbutrin. Other than that, phentermine or ritalin or adderall. I mean, they are all quite different than wellbutrin, but they act on the same brain chemicals. Tenuate would be the closest. There is no way to predict whether that translates into anything useful or not.

> That's a real set back when you find a med you like but it has a bad side effect like migraines. I don't get migraines, but the side effect I get from SOOO many things is loud ringing in the ears. So at least know you aren't the only one hindered by secondary problems to an otherwise good medication.I was going to say Tenuate too.. but its harsher than Wellbutrin and not prescribed much any more; its off label. Its a weight loss drug distantly similar to amphetamines.
You won't have the dopamine effect, but Cymbalta is worth a trial.
As for the migraines, extra strength ibuprofen with coffee or Excedrin migraine (pretty much the same thing) helped me with blips with my current Trileptal experiment.
