If your sleep study was anything like mine you basically lost a full nights sleep 2 nights ago. If you're still tired after a couple more days than I might wonder if it was the meds.
I'm with Zana that you should be letting your psychiatrist handle the meds and if you don't trust her than you should replace her. You're on Zoloft, Lamictal, Klonopin, Abilify, Propranolol and now you've added Wellbutrin. Oh yeah. Don't forget that you're currently on nicotine as well. This is not the kind of combination GP's get enough experience with.
I used Wellbutrin successfully to quit smoking years ago. I took 300 mg. I was taking it as an antidepressant but I'm positive it was what made it possible for me to finally quit. It still wasn't easy. It took months, lots of nicotine gum, and multiple relapses but I've now been an ex smoker for years. Keep in mind that once you aren't smoking you may need to adjust your other medications again. Nicotine is a powerful (and I think helpful) psychiatric drug. Also, if you do have apnea, treating it may help.
