> well, I was initially Rx'd zoloft because I was very depressed, about 10 mos ago now. It worked very well, even a smallish 50mg dose. Then I started to have breakthrough depression (and when I get depressed I go to a very dark place) increased zoloft to 100mg. that was fine for a month or so, but I was apathetic, lazy, and had sexual side effects. then augmented with 150mg wellbutrin (generic bupropion) SR for the apathy and sexual side effects. Little did I know that the wellbutrin was going to unleash a sea of suicidal snakes. Llurpsie into hospital. Continued taking the wellbutrin though, and it's working well. At this point, I'm no longer sure of what the zoloft is doing. I'm not tempted to mess with the polypharmacy though, because it's working.
