I'm sorry. I know what you felt re: Zoloft. It happened to me too ... and only, ever, w/ that one particular drug. It was 'an unbelievable lift' and then it was gone.
Maybe raising the Wellbutrin will help. My P had a lot of good things to say about it. I tried it once. I got out of bed; my body felt very heavy w/ my feet heavy on the floor, moving slow, thinking slow. He said this reaction to it is very unusual.
Maybe I'm wrong Scott, but it sounds more like you are not so much 'more clinically depressed' as you are 'understandably discouraged' at the lack of response to the increase in Zoloft.
We discussed co*ktails. He focused on The Ca*ifornia Co*ktail which is Eff-XR and Remeron. I've never taken Remeron. Those are the scrips I've filled but not yet picked up. I'm having 'second and third thoughts' and luckily have an appt next week. (This past week was an emerg. appt. I was supposed to cancel this coming week's appt, but forgot. For once forgetting pays off!)
He mentioned one combo could cause 'heart probs'; can't recall and will ask. (Better print my own post and tape it to my face!)
Will discuss desipramine & Eff-XR.
I have to stay away from 'hunger triggering' drugs as have a small stomach and suffer w/ ailments in this area. I'm thinking he said Remeron had this property. It's been brought to my attn this is also true of desipramine.
Only 15mins to discuss a serious issue until the 15mins 30 days later; county system :[! Makes me yearn for the info-sucking memory of my youth as it's almost mandatory you be somewhat pro-actively correct!
bestwishes, cf
