Hi there. I'm a 35 yr old male, and I suffer from major depression and anxiety, and I also suffer from attentional issues (either hyper vigilant or out in left field). I am generally medication resistant.
I am currently taking 150 mg Bupropion and .5 mg Risperdal (which will soon be increased to 1 mg), the latter of which I started a week ago as a mood stabilizer. The hope is that the Risperdal will quell anxiety and increase AD effects of Bupropion, and, in turn, attentional issues will abate. If this doesn't work, I will next turn to Zyprex, and, if that doesn't work, I will (last) resort to MAO inhibitors.
I am interested to hear from anyone that has tried a similar combination and the results, including side effects. I haven't noticed much in the way of side effects thus far except for periodic tiredness in the afternoon, which could be partly attributable to my recent discontinuation of Seroquel, which I took for sleep.
I am also interested in hearing from folks regarding Zyprexa and, particularly whether you did not gain significant weight. I am physically fit and do not want to gain significant weight, as I did when I took Mirtazipine.
Thanks a lot. Peace to you all.
