LW,
Thanks for writing. I couldn't tolerate Zoloft because it made my brain race, my heart and body race, and I had bad tremor. Effexor was similar but worse. Celexa gave me big tremor but turned off absolutely all energy so it was hurting my life because I could not do anything.
REmeron worked for awhile, but everything I have always taken has need augmentation. Added the WB and felt a lot better. Got off the Rem because over time the combo didn't seem to be doing the trick. WB has seemed to be the best drug I've been on. It just can't do the job by itself either. Weight gain on Remeron and lithium was really bad. Once I got off Rem and stayed on WB, I lost about 30 lbs.
You make good points on the Wellbutrin. I wish I had an answer.
I hope the Xanax helps.
Take care and thanks again for writing.
Allison
