I now only experience a baseline to moderately elevated but able to work. Also my delusions are way down too! I still get anxious and irritable but much fewer. Occasionally I still have a meltdown or serious anxiety attack but again fewer. Currently I am on my 5th day in a row of a moderate elevated mood with no disturbances! A few minutes of irrationality here and there, some anger here and there but mostly in the norm and nothing too freaky! before this combo, I was taking Wellbutrin only and while no depression, I was a emotional wreck. It was not until I added zoloft to the mix I started feeling better. Good luck to you!

I almost forgot, my paranoia is also way down too!
I see my shrink tomorrow so I'm just going to tell her that these mood swings are just too much for me. I take 200mg of lamictal, 1200mg of neurotin, 150mg of vistaril, and 25mg trazadone (for sleep) and these wild mood swings are still uncontrolled. I've been feeling super depressed lately too. I wonder if she will be able to help.
