> I'm tapering off of paxil due to weight gain and I'm also on welbutrin sr (300mg), depakote er (1500mg), and risperdal (1mg). I'm feeling somewhat agitated, anxious, jittery, and weird in general, but I'm also feeling down, insecure and just irritable/annoyed/angry (the weight gain isn't helping things). This is the way I felt when I was on an AD alone, and what I described as hypomania/mixed (I'm still not sure it was) to my pdoc. I'm not in the same mood for very long though and I don't always feel bad like that. Logically, I should be depressed coming off of an AD right? Not going into mixed or w/e. Could it just be that I'm feeling the welbutrin more now that I'm coming off paxil? Or withdrawl?

Hi,It sounds to me that your Wellbutrin is causing most of that. The Paxil probably kept you from noticing it. You might need to drop the Wellbutrin a little, too. Paxil is fairly sedative for most people.
