I've been lookin for something to agument the lithium with... my pdoc is talking about amoxapine (Loxapine)... but im considering augmentibng with wellbutrin, any thoughts?I would go with the Wellbutrin first.
I am guessing that you were mistaken when you wrote "(Loxapine)" - you probably meant to write "Asendin", the brand name for amoxapine, which is a tricyclic antidepressant with antipsychotic properties derived from its parent molecule, loxapine.
Traditionally, Wellbutrin has been thought of as being a better choice for bipolar disorder because the rate at which it produces mania is supposedly reduced.
