There's no yawning icon for this thread, but there should be -- it's not quite noon and I'm ready for the first nap of the day...

I'm taking 60mg Cymbalta and 300mg Wellbutrin XL, and while they're working well against my depression -- and my anxiety is a bit better, too -- I'm left ready to sleep most of my life away. If I don't lie down when the sleepiness hits, I'll be so tired that I'll literally sway on my feet. I don't actually have to sleep to get relief, just lie down quietly for a couple of hours. Of course, lying down quietly does often lead to sleep, but you know what I mean, right?

Can anyone suggest anything? Dx is Anorexia Nervosa, Major Depression, and Anxiety Disorder NOS. I've tried Provigil, but with the Wellbutrin it leads to too much agitation and restlessness, but doesn't fight the sleepiness.

Ugh. Gotta go lie down now... The cat loves this side effect, by the way...
