> I have been trying 5mg Selegeline and 150 Wellbutrin SR for a week, with no appreciable results for clearing the fog from my head, sharpening my thinking or increasing my energy. I have been on the Wellbutrin for some time but dropped down to 150 after higher doses made me anxious and insomniac. I'm wondering if I should hang in with this regimen (along with 150 mg Lamictal) for a while, or if it is unlikely to do much, and I should lobby my psychiatrist for the 6mg Emsam patch. I was thrilled to find out today that Emsam is on my Humana formulary. I did try Selegeline on its own up to 15mg before without any results, but there were indications in other posts that somehow Wellbutrin and Selegeline might potentiate each other. Like a gambler doubling down, I am also doing an experiment with Rhodiola, the Russian herb. So far nothing as well, but it might be because it only has 1 percent active ingredients.
