I was on combos of Paxil, Prozac, Wellburtin, Zoloft, and Celexa in the past (mainly from 2001-2005). I was sober for each of the first few months I was on them, as I'm fully aware of how drinking can affect them.

The 'benefits' were negligible, as I never saw myself as 'depressed' and was simply looking for a magic pill. Am I doing that now? Also, the sexual side effects were unacceptable.

Wellbutrin made me even more agitated and po'd, so I stopped it after about two months.

I'll look into Buspar.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is helpful to view my anger as a stage of grief.
