> In other words (and my spelling is horrific) you had low grade depression before the wellbutrin which worked but left a residual of low grade depression? Would just taking the wellbutrin work? And combine with talking to professional or friend? Sometimes I feel two many myself included took or take meds when none or a low dose of one would work better?

The depression has been bad enough for me to miss work before Wellbutrin. On Wellbutrin I am productive again, but don't feel good and still experience anhedonia most of the time. The variety of other drugs I've used (neuroleptics, anticonvulsants, SSRIs) all made things worse in some way, often enough to miss work. I've only experienced mania as a result of SSRIs - which was bad for me and not sustainable, but I did feel good while it was going on.
I am thinking of just sticking with Wellbutrin from now on and doing more individual therapy once I am no longer in this partial day treatment program.
