Thanks Chris ...
I have tried Wellbutrin in combination with SSRIs to help with the fatigue (it helped a LITTLE), and on its own, but it didn't help the depression much alone.I tried it also when I first started the Lamictal, and it was actually TOO activating for me then. But I was only on 25 mg of Lamictal, and perhaps I was too new on the Lamictal to try and add anything else at the time.
I'm thinking that maybe now that I'm up to 100 mg on the Lamictal my reaction to the Wellbutrin may be different this time ... worth a try!
Thanks for your input,
cindy> Hey...have you tried wellbutrin? if SSRIs and Effexor have failed, and you suffer fatigue, wellbutrin might be the answer - it's activating, and for me, it's been a pretty good antidepressent (in combo with mood stabilizers -- Neurontin and Depakote), so it might be worth a try.
