I take 2500mg of Keppra a day and love it as my mood stabilizer. I suffer terribly from depression so my doc added Seroquel, at first 50mg, then 100mg to 200mg. I was still having depression & ADD, so she added 100mg Wellbutrin SR.
It took a few weeks for the depression to totally go away.
A few issues: I think the Seroquel is causes tight, stiff, painful muscles so I cut back to 50mg. 100mg still helped with sleep, but I couldn't take the body pain. I don't know if that goes away with AAPs. Also, I'm not sleeping as great since I started the Wellbutrin.
I have Xanax to take for anxiety. I'm still having the start up jitters and anxiety from the Wellbutrin during the day.
So, I told my doc I didn't want to go up to Wellbutrin SR 150mg for fear of pushing me into mania (I'm very sensitive to meds).
Any clue as to what to do for daytime jitters from Wellbutrin? I also wonder if the wearing off of nighttime Seroquel is causing some shakiness. But I'm hesitant to take Seroquel during the day.
What about better sleep? Right now 2mg of Xanax and melatonin are helping a little. What about skipping the nighttime Xanax and just using ambien?
Current lineup:
Keppra 2500mg
Seroquel 50mg
Xanax 2mg
Wellbutrin SR 100mg
