Hi Ed, well it's a delicate balance act, as I'm sure you know. I'm only taking 150 mg of Wellbutrin, it seems it's giving me the minimum of get up and go. Which was why I was considering an ssri like lexapro or celexa that would hopefully act an antidepressant and also quell anxiety. But long past experiments with ssri's have been disapppointing over time. I had a short trial with gabitril which was calming at first then pooped out. I'm intrigued by the limited info available on Lyrica. Of course the new thing on the block always seems better. I'm not even sure if its available yet in the US. How about the UK? In the meantime I need to get back in a band and pound on some drums!~ Jake
