> i understand how you feel...i started wellbutrin on the 5th of july...felt ok on the 150mg dose, but when i upped it to 2x/day, i started having headaches and terrible thoughts. yesterday i was screaming at my 4 yr old and couldn't stop (even thought i knew deep down that it was wrong). i felt insane. everything makes me sensative...all i say is shhh...to everyone all day...and i'm yell it louder than the bunch.

> amieAmie- Don't know if this will help, but I went through this exact thing at the same time. I've got 3 kids and there are times when i'm the worst crab of them all....always saying, "shhh." it's the getting distracted that is the worst. However, it was the worst for me between 3-5 weeks at the beginning. Then it progressively got better. I've read about others referring to it as "rage," and looking back I'm inclined to adopt that same description. It took about 3 months before this calming effect kicked in (like something you would feel on an antidepressant.) Between 5 weeks and 3 months it was just additional energy to be productive, which was a welcome benefit itself. So for me it got better. But I think Klonopin is a great step as well. -Terra
