Hi Ruth,
Good idea Old School suggests about tyring Wellbutrin. Also, don't be scared off by what 3 Beer Effect said about no one being able to tolerate 30 mg of Remeron (sorry 3 Beer). I took 30 mg and although I needed slightly more sleep than normal, I wasn't sleeping 12 hours a day or anything. I didn't have daytime sleepiness and I wasn't a zombie. But some people are in fact too sedated at 30 mg. It's just an individual thing.

The lamictal is having a big antidepressant effect. I'm also finding it very stimulating and it interferes with sleep. So, we're still tweaking the neurontin and klonopin to counteract it. I also don't know if the Celexa would help me simmer down and counteract anxiety at a higher dose. But overall, I'm really optimistic about the lamictal.
