Bleauberry, the one concern I have is I have been diagnosed with bipolar 3(antidepressant induced mania). Sam-e states on the box not to use if you are bipolar. I thought about going back to zyprexa but I had increased suicidal thoughts on that. But I was only taking 2.5mgs as it made me like a zombie at 5mgs (with paxil). I took wellbutrin once and if I could have gotten sleep it would have been a good drug, maybe. That's the piece that really gets me is I am an insomniac to begin with and most of these drugs with the exception of seroquell and zyprexa keep me awake. My pdoc gave me dioxine to try to help with sleep but I had a bad experience with elavil which has a similar s.e.profile. I'm trying to find a new dr but there are very good pdocs where i live.
