I doubt whether my experience in this matter will be of any value to you, but since you have three threads on this matter, here goes....
Currently I am on all of the medications you are taking except instead of Ritalin I am taking Provigil 200 mg.
The sleep doc I was seeing for disturbed sleep added Serzone to the mix, all the way to 450 mg. Except for a little better sleep at night, there was no improvement in mood or more energy during the day.
My pdoc added Wellbutrin SR 300 mg to the cocktail. Felt no better or worse ( I continued on the Effexor at the same time)
Next added Buspar. Same old story. Nothing.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but as they say YMMV.
Best wishes,
Ash
