hey Jono,
Yeah, I've heard that Wellbutrin doesn't cause the same level of flattening. There are still a couple of problems though. 1) Wellbutrin is activating, so my shrink probably won't OK it for a while because of the residual hallucinations (although honestly,I think it would help); 2) I don't have any sort of insurance right now, so I'd have to pay out-of-pocket; and 3) Wellbutrin doesn't like its been very well studied in psychotic depression, although it is used in schizoaffective disorder when the hallucinations are well-controlled with a neuroleptic.
In an ideal world, by now I'd either have Medicaid from disability (I'm probably going to appeal my denial--in the US, getting disability can take a while) or I'd be able to get an Rx for an older stimulating drug, like Pamelor or something.
Thanks for your post.
