> With my current cocktail, zoloft 50mg, lamictal 100mg, zyprexa 5mg and clonazepam 0.5mg/bid....How sure are you that the Zoloft is contributing to your treatment results? 50mg is rather low. Sometimes, people get caught in the "middle". They are close to responding, but not quite. This can produce anxiety, dizziness, dry mouth, incoordination, accelerated heart rate, and heart palpitations.
Before switching to another drug, you might as well increase the Zoloft to 100-200mg if you tolerate it and see how the Wellbutrin affects you. "Welloft" was a popular combination for a long time. If you do experience the irritability and anger that some people get with Wellbutrin, I would at that point discontinue the Wellbutrin, leave the Zoloft in place and add nortriptyline.
Wellbutrin made my depression worse by producing dysphoria. This seems to be a very infrequent occurence. What isn't so infrequent is having Klonopin produce dysphoria or depression.
Before doing anything, I would wait for more opinions.
