Hi Cindy,I'm afraid I can not predict how your body
would respond to another Wellbutrin trial.
But I think you are correct in thinking that
you may get different results as you are not
tinkering with other med doses at this time.
At least you know if a new wb trial doesn't work
out then you can stop and will probably return to
your present state. Also, since you are more
stabilized now, you could dose in the wellbutrin
very slowly to help avoid problems and allow
escape routes.It's your call, keep us posted ....
Good Luck,

I definitely need to add some kind of AD though. I am currently taking Serzone, but can only tolerate 100 mg a day which isn't enough to help depression.
