Jonathan -
As you seem to have figured out, what you mentioned is exactly what my pdoc is doing. As of Wednesday, I was on:
150 mg/day Wellbutrin
50 mg/day Zoloft
112.5 mg/day Cylert
3 mg/day Hytrin (to counteract sweating from WB)
and 600 mg/day Lithium Carbonate
The Lithium is being administered in the hope of increasing Wellbutrin's antidepressant effect enough that I can discontinue Zoloft, then switch to an MAOI. This is due to the fact that while SSRIs seem to be about the only thing that keep me from crying in a corner, they also erase all of my motivation (which I normally even have when depressed as hell) and make me want to sleep for years at a time. This just isn't worth the price anymore...
