I ended up dropping the Depakote after 3 days because it was making me depressed. Weird. But, the Trazodone is really helping me sleep and feel good (only 50mg so far). Plus, the Wellbutrin during the day helps to keep me awake and functioning. I guess that will be my new combo: Trazodone, Wellbutrin, Klonopin as needed.

> Actually, that's not true. Trazodone is the only drug on that list which affects serotonin. Depakote targets calcium and sodium channels, as well as GABA. Wellbutrin is inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine. And klonopine is a benzodiazepine -- which does increase serotonin, but not enough to be a problem.
