Just recently went off Wellbutrin 150 mg because I think it was causing forgetfulness. This may or may not have caused a recent sleepwalking incident, after not sleepwalking in over 14 years.
Saw the T today, and she said I seem more down than usual, and she is pretty perceptive. I have been up, down, all around lately. Ugh, if I have to go on another AD. Maybe I can talk the pdoc into Cymbalta again. I did well on it for quite some time, and it helps fibromyalgia pain too. Though the fibromyalgia dose is much lower than the dose for depression. It still did help me with fibromyalgia, though stopping it really was tough for the fibromyalgia. Told the T I waould call the pdoc if I have another sleepwalking episode. It is a bit scary what you can do without remembering and in my case, without even seeing much since I don’t put on glasses or contact lenses when it happens. Both my eyes are a -10 in contacts, which is horrible eyesight, and I am apparently moving around and trying to do things. See the pdoc again Nov.7 but will call if things get too bad.

I am glad you have a perceptive T!
 Cymbalta is a "go to" for fibromyalgia. I am glad you've been able to tolerate it. I hope the sleepwalking is over with. I hope you don't get too worn out by the Halloween festivities. Nice family time though. Sleep well!  WC

You are already on a bunch of meds as I see in your signature maybe you need less rather than more ???
I would never be okay taking all of that daily.

No, I take 2 mg Klonopin daily usually but can take up to 4 mg for bad, long lasting high anxiety. Most of the time I don't take 4/day or the low dose Seroquel.
Don't I wish I could get off more meds? I tried less, and things were worse. But I was unfortunately on the free/sliding scale county system by the state; first in my college county; not too bad but the pdoc handed out Paxil like candy, later on the county system in Houston, and they had me on about 20 meds at once, hospital, you name it. Then, I got the really bad panic from the night shooting in to my apartment. I lived in walking distance of the University of Houston, but everyone around Houston knows that is a dangerous part of town; I just didn't have time to hassle with parking every day at the university (which was very crowded), but the trade-off was living in a bad neighborhood. Then, after my daughter was born, BPI diagnosed. Once there is less stress in my life, I hope to get off some of these meds or lower the dosages. 2018 has been a year for the dogs for me.
