1. You might need to take a drug-holiday from serotonin reuptake inhibitors before returning to them.2. Consider switching to Pristiq right now.
3. Discontinue Effexor and add nortriptyline to the bupropion.
4. If you think that there might be bipoloarity involved in your mood disorder, you might consider focusing closer on MAOIs. A recent report suggests that MAOIs are more effective to treat bipolar depression than unipolar depression.

* Take note that the original findings during the early 1980s were affirmed. Atypical depression responds better to MAOIs than melanancholic depression does.
