I have to take an SSRI, Wellbutrin AND Lamictal (an anti-seizure drug that has mood stabilizing properties). I also take a low dose of Seroquel, an anti-psychotic, to help me sleep. I also take hydroxizine for anxiety as needed. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about adding something to your SSRI.
