SSRI's and irritability

Posted by Kingfish on July 4, 2001, at 9:44:38

I've experienced extreme irritability and agitation with Wellbutrin and Prozac when I've first taken them (I stopped Wellbutrin after a couple of days and have only been on Prozac for about a week and a half).
It's such a major difference, I can't get over it. The littlest things set me off.
Has anyone experienced this? If so, did it subside?
I'm really frustrated, and am wondering if it's a sign that I shouldn't take "activating" SSRI's, which eliminates a set of options for me because Prozac was prescribed to counteract sedation caused by my mood stabilizer, Topamax, and to alleviate my depression.
Thanks!
- K.
