Wellbutrin added to other antidepressants?

I'm currently on Prozac 80mg, buspar, and klonopin. I have some wellbutrin and am considering taking it too because I feel so draggy. My dad passed and I'm having a hard time getting motivated for the holidays, I have little energy but I need to make this a good Christmas for my child.

Update:

Y'all don't get it. I see my psych on a regular basis and she has given me these scripts. I am not "numb" I'm still quite emotional and I have a highly stressful life as my child has Asperger's, and I have multiple health issues. I see many drs regularly and they all know what I'm on. Don't judge. I go to counseling. I exercise. I do all possible for stress reduction. My family has a history of mental illness on both side, schizophrenia, bipolar. I don't want to end up there. I'm functioning as well as I can.

    I'm sorry about your dad. That makes it tough, especially around the holidays. I take Wellbutrin in addition to other meds and it helps a lot. It gives you an extra "push" to get going. Not in a manic sense, but in an energetic sense. The Wellbutrin adds to the Prozac. I think your doctor is right. All the best to you.

    The Klonopin can be making you draggy. If you've been taking it daily for a long period of time you might have to taper it, but if not, you can just not take it and see if you feel more energetic, since it's an as-needed med.

    Do you mean the dr. prescribed you Wellbutrin to take along with all of the above, or is it an old stash that you still have? Taking Wellbutrin together with Prozac can increase the risk of seizures, so you shouldn't do that unless that's what your dr. prescribed. If that's what your dr. prescribed, then by all means take it.

    When is the last time you've had a complete physical? There might be other medical problems that are making you feel draggy, such as thyroid problems.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Only your Doctor is going to be able to answer your question. Do not self medicate your Doctor knows what is best and let them handle your medication issues. Go and see them as soon as you can. You also seem in need to get some help with your grief.

    I think you are already over medicated. How numb do you want to be? If getting it together for you kid is not motivation enough, more meds will not do the trick.
