Q: I have been taking medication for 15+ years for depression and lately I am very agitated, irritable and have explosive anger. I take welbutrin and know it isn't enough. Help?

I have tried cymbalta or Prestiq with the welbutrin but I almost feel like I'm on the "edge". and just don't like how they make me feel.

Abilify is very good for depression and the mood swings, and can be taken with Wellbutrin.  I have been on this in the past for a little over a year. I had to stop the Abilify because my head started shaking side to side, but this does not happen to everyone.  Was on Abilify 15mg 1x, Wellbutrin XI 300mg 1x , felt good.

It's me again, after I stopped taking the Abilify, my head quit shaking side to side in about a week.  It was not a little shake it was bad enought I did not leave my house. I have had ALOT of different side effects from medications. I have had up to 11  side effects at a time with one medication so their's just something about me. I do suspect maybe that my ex pdoc might have, not on purpose OD me?

Have you had any success? I am having the same problem with Welbutrin. I was on Zoloft, 150 mg per day, but that just "zoned" me out.
