If you can avoid unusually high doses of AP/AAP drugs, you probably should.
I think Wellbutrin would be helpful. Using neurontin might help, too (I'm clearly not an expert, lol)...my concern right now would be that adding a standard dose of neurontin might be too sedating with everything else you're on.
I was reading...adding Lamictal to ongoing AP/AAP treatment is apparently good for many people. Lamictal is also one of the more tolerable anticonvulsants. In what I read, the authors said that, in their experience, adding lamictal can somehow help keep the neuroleptic dose lower over the long haul. I don't understand the brain, so I don't know what the technical explanation is/was, but...makes sense. Benzodiazepines have also been used to reduce neuroleptic dosages and keep them lower over long term treatment.
Hope this helps.
