I don't think I ever tried that combo. But I've never had an AD work so I I depend on getting enough sleep. Not that anyone wants to treat a woman for that up here.
But maybe you just get good effects. If anyone deserves it, it's you. There are med/people combos where things just work.
I think the only problem I had with Wellbutrin was dry mouth, which eventually went away.
FWIW, my shrink suggested and I got a DNA test, which indicated that I have one of the sequences that maps to depression and that responds to folic acid, so I'm now taking folic acid every day and it really does seem to help (and isn't an AD).
The DNA test was expensive, though.
I already take a ton of folic acid because of Spina Bifida.
Huh, Volans, that is interesting.
sj, continued wishes for relief.
Pre-natal levels of folic acid? That seems like an easy thing to try.
Remember when the answer to “What color should I dye my hair?” was always go red! Choose red!
Well, 20 years later and I’m toying with the idea of going full on silvery gray.
And my real silver isn’t even all that noticeable. I just really love the look of it.

1. Don't say "20 years later" no no no no.
2. Full silvery grey looks so great, tho.
sj, I've been on a Wellbutrin/Zoloft combo for years and it's kept me pretty well baselined without a ton of side effects. I did have some insomnia issues some years ago when my doctor was increasing the dosage pretty quickly. I used to take anywhere from a half to two Benedryl to help smooth over the frequent waking. But now I don't take anything except a super low dose of melatonin (1mg).
I'm sorry about the pain, but I'm glad you found a good PCP who listens!
Thanks, Nora. I already have insomnia enough, that I’m not sure I could tell the difference.
