Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.The symptoms that you have mentioned appear to be personality traits and these are generally not amenable to drug treatment. You should get off of buprenorphine, clonazepam and welbutrin. If there is still depressive symptoms only then you need to continue antidepressants. For these personality features, you need to have intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy or cognitive behavioural therapy. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them. They are 15-20 min weekly session and there should be around 8-10 sessions to help you with your illness.These therapies have to be continued for a few months to show its effects.  Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
