I'm still nervous about the Eff/Well combo - but it works pretty good on me.
I've been taking a small dose of Trazodone for sleep, but between the Traz & Eff, I have a hard time staying awake during the day.
Would Klonopin be a better bet? Plus, wouldn't it help cut my seizure risk?

The seizure risk is negligable. At the doses used today in the formulations used today, bupropion has the same seizure risk of most ADs.
Klonopin is not good as a pure sleep aid. Tolerance builds, and the drug lasts over 24 hours. If you want to use it also for daytime anxiety, that's another story, but tolerance develops to its hypnotic effects. Try Lunesta if you can, low doses of seroquel (12.5-25mg), etc.

Thanks! I tried taking 25mg of Seroquel but it really made me sleepy the next day. I may try half of that - or I may stick to 25mg - 50mg of Trazodone.
