I have a similar context as you do so my experience might help. I have Depression, GAD, Social Phobia, and ADHD all intermingled in a **** stew and I currently take Dexedrine Spansules(extended-release dextroamphetamine) and Wellbutrin XR(extended-release bupropion) together. Wellbutrin isn't an SSRI but the concerns you have about the technical "warnings" are pretty much the same with it. The warnings are important as advisories but they do not mean it will happen, its more for your doctor to take into account as a precaution to be aware of.

My experience with Dexedrine has been phenomenal compared to every other med ive tried in regards to all my conditions. It is at times given to treat depression off-label for treatment resistant people like myself who have had limited to no success previously. So basically, I wouldn't be afraid of trying the combination out, just take it one step at a time and start with a lower dose, then gradually increase it until it hits an effective point (I take 30mg once a day). The only real annoying side effect ive had is dry mouth, but it is tolerable and can be helped with products like moisturizing mouth sprays, etc.

If uve had limited results with other meds, i highly suggest you look into dextroamphetamine, because it greatly helps me.

PS. im not sure if you have adderal (mixed amphetamine salts), but if it's an option, i would first try pure dextroamphetamine since I had more physical, peripheral side effects with adderal like increased sweating, etc.
