I see my pdoc tomorrow afternoon (10 weeks between appointments is ridiculous) and the regime he started me on in December isn't working. I am currently taking Prozac (20 mg. per day) plus Wellbutrin (300 mg.) per day and up to 150 mg. of Trazodone for sleep. I had been on Wellbutrin at 150 since June with no results. All it seems to do us interfere with sleep (already insomniac.) I've previously tried Zoloft up to 150 mg., Effexor up to 125 mg., Cymbatla up to 120 mg., Buspirone, Abilify up to 10mg., I think BuSpar may have been 100 mg., Lamictal, I think it was 100 mg. as well. Had also taken low dose Mirtazapine (7.5 mg.) and 150 mg. Quietapone until taken off it due to myoclonic jerks (which, I actually still get, but only when trying to sleep, besides an occasional, involuntary quick turning of the head as though I'm trying to focus my eyes (hope it's not tardive.) MAOI's are not an option where I am being treated and he seemed hesitant to give me a TCA due to overdose potential (though I don't know that he wouldn't change his mind.) Any ideas to share tomorrow would be appreciated. I've read where SSRI's aren't effective for melancholic depression, and the fact that I have tried Zoloft, Effexor, Cymbalta and now Prozac makes me doubt that not having enough serotonin is my issue...
