It's so hard to figure what's doing what when on a med combo. I'm taking Wellbutrin in the morning, Remeron at night, and Buspar b.i.d. for anxiety. I wake up feeling completely drugged from the Remeron...can't get it together. I take my 150mg SR Wellbutrin, but it'll be an hour or so before it wakes me up, so I grab a cup of coffee. Now I feel fine. WB kicks in and I get anxious (maybe WB mixing badly with the coffee?). Anyhow, time for first dose of Buspar. Buspar takes the edge of the anxiety, but also leaves me feeling fatigued and depressed. So...I drink another cup of coffee to wake up, and the anxiety's back with horrible nausea and headache. Time for second Buspar. Headache goes away, feel good for the second time today. Bedtime: feel *great*, but can't sleep. That's where the Remeron comes in. I take Remeron, fall into coma, and wake up drained. That's my cycle. The two times a day that i feel good, I feel *great*, so I believe that somewhere in this drug combo is the answer, but I just can't work it out. I'm so frustrated. Does anybody else on a med combo like this cycle this drastically throughout the day? It's about my fifth day on this combo. I hope it evens out, or I can eliminate the variable making me feel "bad". One unecessary variable I should eliminate is the coffee. Then what? Obviously, I should talk to my prescribing doc. I see him on the 19th. Should I do anything until then?
