This is weird. I thought I posted a reply earlier at work, but it must not have gone through.
Wellbutrin got added to my Remeron a year ago last June after a month-or-so break from a 7-month stint of lithium augmentation. My doctor and I thought I was feeling good enough to take me off the Li in April, but I was suicidal again by June. At the time I was on 45 mg Remeron. I started with 100mg of Wellbutrin.
I started backsliding last October and began to wonder whether I ought to be hospitalized. The WB was upped to 200mg. Rem was decreased to 30 after a time (if I remember correctly).
Another backslide this last April led to 300-350mg WB, then 400mg WB a week later on my own volition. We reduced the Rem from 30 to 15. So now the Remeron is augmenting the Wellbutrin.
I think this 400/15 combo is working as well as anything has so far. I don't really hope for remission anymore. I just want to stay relatively clear of the pit. This seems to be doing it.
Good luck.
