Well, it looks like my experiment with Modafinil is over - it's not effective for me. My pdoc and I talked about it and it's just not getting me out of my depression and it has side effects at the higher doses I need for it to make a difference.

So we're moving back to Wellbutrin (Bupropion) XL. My pdoc feels that the Latuda will protect me from going manic on it again. I was on this about 10 years ago and it made me manic but I wasn't on anything else at the time, so now she feels the Latuda might help. She's also starting me on just 150mg - I was on 450mg before.

I just want a few better months for a better summer - keeping my fingers crossed that it works this time.

And even if it doesn't work out and kicks me back into mania, at least it will be a change from 18 months of depression (kidding - I know mania is bad).
