In reply to 2 rage incidents in one day with wellbutrin, posted by akrake on August 8, 2001, at 8:29:35
Amie - Only 2? These delayed rage reactions with Wellbutrin are quite common. They appear 3 to 4 weeks (sometimes later) into treatment (just as the drug seems to start working) and last a couple of weeks. They do seem to go away, in most people. It also seems (I have no proof) that this may be the body's signal that the Wellbutrin is beginning to work.
You are going to have to try to explain to the kids (and sig. other) that this is the way mommy is going to be for a week or two. Tell them that you are not mad at them, but are feeling badly at the moment. I know that it is not easy to this. When you feel like blowing up, remove yourself from the situation (as you have been doing), count to ten, and tell yourself that it is the drug that is making you mad.
Hang in there; this shall pass - (been there) Cam
