I have taken doxepin for sleep and anxiety in the past and it worked well but my pdoc thought it caused me mania so he took me off of it. Now I'm not allowed to take any medications in the same class as doxepin, which blows because I feel like those would help my sleep better than ambien which barely works on me.

I've been on wellbutrin 3 times. The first time was before I was diagnosed and put on a mood stabilizer and it just made me more anxious and agitated and I couldn't sleep hardly ever. The second time I was on like 9 other meds at the time and I didn't notice any effect. Now that I'm only on 3 total psych meds I can feel that it is helping my depression, energy, and focus (a tiny bit). I feel like it has raised my baseline from mildly depressed to "okay" or "fine", not sad, not overjoyed, but right in the middle where I should be.
