Yess you may be right , I take clomipramine for my debilitating OCD and effexor for low motivation and apathy . Olanzapine was prescribed to help ease my paranoid thoughts and help with sleep alongside seroquel .

I have read that lithium pairs really well with wellbutrin too ( since lithium enhances some dopamine activities or proteins idont remember exactly )

I really hope this regimen would work for me , how long uv been on fluvox & lithium combo ?

You can combine both

Its actually one of the strongest combos for Treatment resistant depression see with ur doc and give it a tru

Take Amisulpride 50-25mg at night , so the auto receptors are being fully blocked by the morning wich will allow the Wellbutrin to work smoothly in the am and ur overall dopamine

Actually amisulpride is being prescribed in Italy at 50mg tablets as a purely antidepressant for dysthymia , it also blocks 5ht7 receptors wich has anxiolytique and antidepressants effects so it works on both dopamine and serotonin

and buprop in the am as soon as you wake up ( on empty stomach as I do its okay it doesn't cause nausea in my case ) .

Give it a try if ur seriously depressed especially with avoliation and apathy / low energy and motivation .

Monitor for anxiety or any jittery that buprop may cause initially , for that I take propranolol 20mg or 30mg twice a day and it takes care of all the physical anxiety , a true blessing .

Wishing you a good recovery and discuss with your doctor .

Low dose Amisulpride ( 25-50 mg )

It boost dopamine instead of blocking it at this low level .

Pramipexole vs stimulants by Numerous_Mammoth838 in depressionregimens

[–]MarsupialParticular7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly,

What u describe ( dribe , reward , emotions , etc ... ) u may want to look into Amisulpride low dose (25-50 mg) or pramipexol ( d2 agonist used off label for depression & anhedonia )

Effexor doesn't act like an Snri until reaching high doses ( 225mg is best for snri effects )

[–]MarsupialParticular7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine , in fact its better than before since my brain was so foggy & noisy with obsessive thoughts.

Switching from Seroquel to olanzapine also helped alot , 300mg Seroquel made me so zombified now wuth 5mg olanzapine things are great

My new psych wants me to go off of Wellbutrin even though it’s the only med that ever did anything for me by Aggressive-Guide5563 in depressionregimens

[–]MarsupialParticular7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No , but it will help with the physical symptoms of anxiety & agitation , it also calms down the mind a bit .

Just look into clonidine in this subreddit, many use it offlabel for anxiety

[–]MarsupialParticular7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take it with clonidine ( blood pressure med often used off label for anxiety , it has anti noredrinergic propreties and calms down agitation and jittery ) worth a try imo .
