> Have you tried any low-dose Depakote for that before? Depakote can slam-dunk your energy level and make depression worse, but it has worked miraculously for my temper spell problems. I just recently have found that increasing my Depakote from 250mg to 375mg has eliminated nearly all anxiety/hostility I previously got from Wellbutrin that was above 25mg/day. I'm taking 100mg of WB with 375mg of Depakote and the WB isn't bugging me. WB usually makes me quite hostile on its own.
Have you tried Tegretol or Trileptal for temper/anger problems?
