Hi,
I'm having the same success with Wellbutrin and Neurotin. I couldn't handle either of these alone but together it has been magical.
I'm borderline with PTSD, atypical depression and a few other personality disorders. I've been untreatable until now. After numerous hospitalizations in the early 90's, the VA docs wanted me to undergo ECT. I refused and for the last 9 years I've been bouncing between the community mental health clinic and the local health food store. I tried every anti-depressant and numerous therapies, health food supplements, meditation, and whatnot.
This combination of Wellbutrin and Neurotin has been magical. Like you said, it has pushed the right button. The neurotin takes the edge off the wellbutrin. About 300mgs of neurotin with 75mg of wellbutrin 3 times per day has worked for me.
I now walk into town (6 blocks) whereas before I was paralyzed with fear/anxiety about traffic and people. I walked into town like I belonged. This is great!
