In reply to Wellbutrin/stimulant poop-out--pls help w/ idea, posted by oceancat on August 15, 2008, at 2:36:32
> Hi everyone,
> I recently took Wellbutrin SR 200mg/day for 5 weeks along with my usual Zoloft with amazing results for my depression, but as with other noradrenergic/dopaminergic meds I've tried, it pooped out despite a raise in dose and eventually left me feeling really lousy and depressed and extremely exhaused, oddly. I was wondering, has anyone with stimulating med poop-out ever tried taking tiny, subtherapeutic doses and seeing what happens? I'm considering trying Wellbutrin SR again at 25mg 2x/day, but would like to know if there's anyone who's actually tried this or who know why it might theoretically be helpful. And any remedies for poop-out are most welcome too!

My doctor and his colleagues have found Wellbutrin + Lamictal to be a particularly good combination. However, he never mentioned using such a subtherapeutic dosage of Wellbutrin in this context.
My current treatment:
Nardil 90mg
nortriptyline 150mg
Lamictal 200mg
Abilify 20mg
Deplin 7.5mg
N-Acetylcysteine
Lovaza 4gm (Fish Oil)
