> Your feelings sound a lot like what I experienced on Wellbutrin. The first day I would take it I would have a stressed-out mean angry almost pacing period at its peak a couple hours later, as I continued to take it each day those feelings lasted more and more of the day until it lasted all day. My doc called it 'agitation' and had me stop the Wellbutrin. I wanted Wellbutrin to work bad enough that I did a second trial of it years later while on Neurontin, and the same thing happened. After about 5 days I was at the end of my rope and was seriously considering suicide.

> Have you been on both depakote and topamax for one week? Seems odd to start two mood stabilizers at once. Have you been on either before? --kateThese are the first medicines I've ever been on. The Topamax was mainly given to me because I'm a heavy set girl and she didn't want me to gain weight with Depakote. Why is it that Wellbutrin causes these feelings of anger/rage/suicide? Why do doctors keep prescribing them? I'm generally scared that my doctor will ignore my request to quit taking it.
