thanks for the input, everyone.

Stimulants are out, because its a public/community health clinic. Wellbutrin can be pushed to 450. I think there's a once daily xr in that strength. I'll have to ask.

The more I think about it...the more I think maybe "remission" won't come from an Rx for me. I'm not agitated, too moody, eating too much or too little, all that. I even have a reasonable amount of energy, probably because of Wellbutrin.

I wish I could get the Lamictal increased and drop the Trileptal. What I think happened is that my former shrink perceived my agitation as a (hypo)manic problem, when I think it was really just agitated depression. Happens. Unfortunately, my current doctor doesn't want to drop the trileptal or the lamictal, so I'm stuck on 2 anticonvulsants. Not the worst thing ever, but...not ideal, either. At least the Wellbutrin lifts my mood a bit and counters the sedation.

Thanks again for your replies.
