Does this sound like a good combination from what you guys have heard? Basically it is 150 mg Luvox IR 150 mg, Bupropion SR 150 mg every 12 hours. Dextroamphetamine IR, taken 10 mg each morning every 4 hours. The conditions I am treating is MDD (recurrent), OCD (severe), ADHD, PTSD, BDD, Low Self-esteem, Health Anxiety and Social Anxiety.

If you're starting them all at one time that is going to be a major bomb to your system. Taking 'Butrin every 12 hours? Won't that cause insomnia?
If you have OCD or any other form of anxiety it might be a good idea to dampen that first, because the dexamp has a higher likelihood of making anxiety worse in ADD patients who are predisposed to it.
it sounds ok, but i dont know about the dosages man.
that much wellbutrin with dex might be a bad idea, like possible seizure risk. i would definitely keep wellbutrin to a low dose, since its SR, i dont think u can split those pills. i would definitely ask for a lower dose, and that might require IR or XR....just lower the wellbutrin because the dex is doing almost the same thing at a much much higher potency.
the luvox sounds fine though. as far as anxiolytic/antianxiety SSRI/SNRI's ill list this from another post:
SSRIs in my order of anxiolytic strength
#1 zoloft -can be activating with SLIGHT Dopamine reuptake
#2 paxil -slight Norepinephire reuptake which can acutally increase dopamine in freontal cortex but also sedating because of anticholinergic effect, so its like a very weak SNRI
#3 luvox -if zoloft doesnt work and u dont want slight sedation from paxil, id try this
#4 prozac -it can also slightly release Dopamine and norepinpehrine, but if your taking adderall, its negligble probably
(lexapro and celexa arent for anxiety, just depression)
SNRI = Pristiq. after all my research (including reading Stahl's Essential Pscyhopharmacology) and my own trials with a few of the ssri's, i think this is the best antidepressant/anti anxiety (anxiolytic) available. i would try this first before anything else seriously. one dose, 50mg, no titration. it worked for me within 3 days, i was amazed as SSRI's didnt too much for me after a whole month.
If I were you, I would ask about Pristiq with Dex. Instead of taking wellbutrin and luvox, pristiq does what luvox does with more NET potency with a much lower dose than ur taking, and it also has some DRI properties of wellbutrin, but at a much lower level, which is better as i said anyway. its also only XR, so you take 1 antidepressant/antianxiety pill in the morning and all u gotta worry about is dex dosing.
pristiq and dex has been the best combo ive ever seen or tried
That's strange...I see a striking similarity between this thread and another:
