Hi all,
Thank you so much for your posts. I am so eager to try Wellbutrin again plus memantine, but my pdoc is resistant to memantine because it is "experimental" and he hasn't used it before, so for now I've decided to try natural dopaminergic supplements (vitex, rhodiola, etc) plus magnesium and see what happens, along with my regular meds.
It's such a bummer to find relief with dopamine, just to have it taken away later. I can't tell you how great it felt to finally feel "well" with Wellbutrin, after a lifetime of depression, social phobia, anhedonia, and PTSD. Ritalin was the next closest thing, then amisulpride. Now I'm on Abilify, Cymbalta, and Lamictal, but I'm only just "okay" at my best times.
Last resort, begging my pdoc, I guess!
Thanks again,
oceancat
