> Thanks Scott. I really appreciate your concern and suggestions.Although "pulsing" antidepressants can cause treatment resistance, alternating Nardil dose between 45-60 mg/day is a reasonable approach. I would space the doses out as evenly as possible unless insomnia becomes an issue.
I know you are sick and tired of the endless bumpy, up and down ride on an old rickety roller coaster not bring you to a better life right now. Do you need a break?
Taking lamotrigine is something to consider leaving in the background with or without Wellbutrin. Effective dosages usual fall between 200-300 mg/day.
I know absolutely nothing about your history, so I don't have any feel for what's going on.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
