HI.I have had depression for 10 years plus.It's been pretty much untreated because the meds give me bad side effects or they stop working after a while.It's gotten so bad,I know I need to get back on something.I've tried almost every antidepressant available.SSRI's like zoloft and celexa make me so apathetic and indifferent that I become worthless,caring about nothing. Effexor made me gain 30 lbs.Wellbutrin gave me alot of anxiety.My question is,does anyone have success stories about using an SSRI at the same time as Wellbutrin.I liked the way wellbutrin made me feel more focused and energized,but the anxiety was too much.I was thinking putting an SSRI in the mix would help curb that a bit since it is more calming.I think the wellbutrin would also help curb the apathetic feelings from the SSRI.My insurance doesn't cover Psychiatrists and I can't afford out of pocket.I need to get the drugs from my primary doctor but wanted to ask some of you to share your experiences with mixing the 2.

Why not try the holistic medicines? St. John's Wort and Camomile are very calming. Aromatherapy scents like lavendar, peppermint, eucalyptus, and spearment also have calming effects. If you have a health food store near you, drop in and ask the person about them. Do not forget to mention what medications you are on since prescription meds don't always mix with herbal remedies. I would also go to Bath and Body Works and get their aromatherapy scents made with eucalyptus and spearment. They work wonders for anxiety. Good luck.
