> > Please help! My 16 yr. old son, diagnosed bipolar 2 yrs ago spent a few months in the hospital this spring. He was discharged on wellbutrin, lithium, neurontin, zyprexa and synthroid. For the last few months he has been suffering from severe anxiety (anxiety was not a problem before these meds.. His dr. has reduced the wellbutrin and zyprexa and discontinued the neurontin. Still severely anxious. Two nights ago, he started on Klonopin - with no improvement in the anxiety - In fact, he seems more anxious and hostile.
My 2 c: I was on Wellbutrin. It made me want to crawl out of my skin the anxiety was so bad. I discontinued it. I'm surprised that he elected to discontinue the Neurontin, which is calming (I take it).
