> Thanks Cam- I took Zoloft also. Was taking 50mg with a TCA. One day upped the dose to 75mg and was totally euthymic, wow, but had to keep upping dose to keep effect until poopout at 200mg.ceiling. Felt like Robert DeNiro in "Awakenings"

John - "Instead of". I don't know if I would augment Wellbutrin with anything. It's mechanism of action is too vague. What I would like to see Wellbutrin used for is for non-drug addictions (or even perhaps drug addictions) like gambling, sex, etc. The increase of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens is intriguing.

Any docs using Wellbutrin in addiction cases? I would really like to hear of successes or failures.

Thanks - Cam W.
