Thanks for the comments Jah, :)
Much appreciated. Sort of coincides with a couple other posts I saw where lamictal and klonopin were used together with some success.
Also your info on sulpiride.. it is the other med I have been interested in while doing a bit of digging while off work for a week this last week.
(Wellbutrin, lamictal, and amilsupride are the ones catching my interest mainly).
I've used only Wellbutrin (quite a bit here and there but not continually).Lamictal is available in US, and apprarently amisulpride is available overseas.
I think it's awaiting approval in US also.
I will check out amilsulpride on medline.Thanks again

It was this that probably demonstrated the most pronounced improvement. I became pretty confident at the time (tho' confidence isn't an issue), but was possibly bordering on slight hypomania (which, strangely enough, I could induce almost at will with the addtn of Klonopin. For myself at least, there exists a synergy btwn the two.). Unfortunately these benefits largely faded over the course of 6 wks or so, never to rtn (I still take it for mood-stabilization & for its slight cognitive benefits).
