> I think you are missing my point. Wellbutrin is not a strong enough AD for most with mod to severe depression. I think if you were on the right AD with the right mood stabilizer you would get a therapeutic respone. IF I'm correct, you were taking abilify and wellbutrin when you trialed lamictal? If so, I would consider this not a good idea to be on 2 mood dtabilizers at once with Wellbutrin. Ii had SSRI induced just as you. I am depression dominated. On Lamictal and Effexor for a very long time and works great.
Wellbutrin keeps me going to work, and addresses my motivation concerns. I'm not happy though. It doens't make me manic or hypomanic; just productive. I have no intention of stopping it unless I take another MAOI. Wellbutrin can be taken with other antidepressants so I could try other things.
