In reply to Wellbutrin the augmenter, posted by qbsbrown on February 22, 2004, at 13:43:10
Wellbutrin is contraindicated with TCA's, as it blocks their metabolism and can cause even worse side effects (if you can imagine) and even fatality, due to the inadvertently raised plasma level.
Stimulants like Ritalin or Dexedrine are a possibility. How much amitriptyline are you on? The sedation should eventually diminish. Or you could try nortriptyline which is a metabolite of amitrip, but less sedating/ more stimulating.
