Depakote, Klonopin, Wellbutrin

Posted by Peter on July 10, 2001, at 3:02:22

Hello all. I've been on various combinations of meds for about 5 years. I used to take only paxil, but I found that it was contributing to mania and drug/alcohol cravings/abuse (my doctor told me that my dopamine was reduced as a result of my seratonin increase, causing cravings). I was soon afterwards diagnosed as bipolar and put on 875 mg depakote daily. I also have a history of panic and anxiety and was perscribed klonopin - I am now down to 1 mg daily (used to take up to 2mg). In spite of all these meds, something still seems not right. My social phobia still exists as well as obsessive thoughts (indecisiveness, dwelling over a small issue or decision obsessively), and mixed states of depression and generalized anxiety. I often just don't want to face the day and I sit at home, isolating, lacking motivation, and guilty that I'm not doing anything. My doctor just prescribed me Wellbutrin as an alternative anti-depressant; is anyone on these 3 drugs (dep., klon., Well.)? Does anyone have experience with the Wellbutrin helping with any of my above problems? I'd love to hear yes as the answer, but of course I would like to hear honest opinions. Thanks.
