Daytime Sleepiness

I cannot seem to kick the Daytime sleepiness. I am taking 40 mg, fluoxetine, 150 bupropion. When I was  on the bupropion with lamictal it seemed like I had less of this sleepiness.

Is there a possibility that lamictal may help?  Anyone with experience on this?  Should I up the fluoxetine, up the bupropion, switch bupropion for lamictal , add lamictal, up bupropion?

Thoughts?

The bupropion could be increased to 300mg to help with daytime sleepiness. I don't think the sleepiness is caused by being on fluoxetine rather than Lamictal but it's more likely that you developed a tolerance to bupropion.

Any change in your medications and/or dosage must be addressed with a qualified physician.

i just started on fluoxetine and it depends on when you take it, if your taking it in the morning then switching to the evenings should solve the problem.
