anyone tried buspar and wellbutrin together?

[timemarcheson]

I am on 150 mg of wellbutrin a twice a day.Its helping some, but i feel like it only helps about 25%. Thinking about talking to dr about adding a tricyclic. From what i have read buspar is good for depression, low energy, lack of interest in anything...has anyone ever been on the 2 together? Is 300mg of wellbutrin a high dose?

I, myself haven't been on them together, but my hubby takes both as well as effexor xr. Between his meds & mine we are well versed in the trial & error realm of how the doctors have had to go to help the two of us.  I doubt that my hubby has been diagnosed with bipolar but I do know that he is being treated for grand depression & lack of interest as we both deal with massive medical issues that have cause us to be debilitated & forced into early retirement via disability because of our medical issues & they aren't getting anybetter & so our depression continues as well as our pains & so we take them for other reasons not bipolar condition.  They seem to help my hubby.  As I said I don't take them together myself but I live with someone that does take them & he can function a bit easier & I can tell when he hasn't had his meds as well as he can tell when I've not had my meds.

Hi, I have not tried Busbar.  I have thought about it because of m Bipolar sudden and quick anger.  I have taken Wellburtrin and although I hear is helps many people, unfortunately, I did not have good success....trail and error I suppose in this candy store of medications!  Best of luck to you!
P.S.  I believe 300 mg. is a common dosage.
