Hi little horse;

I agree with you completely. Unfortunately in my case, I've found that the more I trust the doc, the less the chances that what she prescribes will help. She's a great doctor - don't get me wrong. But conducting research doesn't necessarily help me identify the right drugs, but rather I'm more able to articulate my symptoms.

I've been taking the combo Abilify 2 mg, Zoloft 100 mg, and Wellbutrin 100 mg, plus low-dose Remeron 15 mg to help me sleep. I have to say that the Zoloft works well for me (Lexapro was great too, until it pooped out on me). The Wellbutrin helps me keep my head focused and healthy-active. The Abilify was added to help with mood swings--which has been working well too.

Unfortunately I'm now suffering from insomnia. I feel as if my body doesn't need to sleep full 8 hours as it used to before this combo. In any case, I'm giving it a few more months, and if the insomnia persists, I'll go back to my doc.

Take care.
