I've been having trouble finding a mood stablizer that works for me without all the awful side effects. I'm going to start on a low dose of Zonegran and see how that works.
I've been thinking about going from Wellbutrin XL 150 to Wellburtin SR 200mg. I started the 200mg today and I'm not sure I can deal with the headaches that come with the dose adjustment. Is this what the withdrawl will be like? What about adding 50mg of Zoloft to the 150mg? Is anyone doing this?
Is the XL better than the SR?

Sorry, but I haven't taken XL just the "regular" and SR versions. I had fewer headaches and a more even mood on SR than I did on regular. Give it a few days.

i had headaches when switching from SR to XL... they went away after about a week. i was on 100 mg SR 2x a day (tried 200 mg SR 2x daily - that definitely gave me headaches), now on 150 XL and feel great.

i have tried most of the SSRIs in combination with wellbutrin. they help with other depressive symptoms - giving me a sense of well-being (no crying, etc.), but beware of the sexual side effects.
