Has anyone been put on serotonin meds? Like prozac, paxil, etc etc. And how did you react to them?

I had been on a bunch and all of them I reacted to adversely.
I've been on Wellbutrin for years which has to do with dopamine. It was the only thing that seemed to help me. Mainly anti-anxiety and for mild ADD.

Lately I've just been having a melancholiness I can't figure out. In the past my problem was mainly anxiety and anger. Now I'm just having this weird sadness.

I don't know if the Wellbutrin needs to be adjusted or whether I need a serotonin drug now to compliment it?

I wish I could get my doctor to test my serotonin, epinephrene, and dopamine. I think I may have a way around it by going to an online doc to order tests.

Anyway, anyone got any stories or insight?
