Good thing you ditched the caffeine. I believe, and I'm not a health care practioner, that the 'short tempered/quick boiling point' side effect of Wellbutrin does go away with time. I had to become very conscious of my behaviour and what would likely trigger such explosive anger in me and avoid those triggers. I had to proactively modify my behaviour until the blow up urge went away--and it did with time.

I hope Wellbutrin works for you. How long have you been on it at that dosage? I had to work up and down very slowly as I was sensitive to the changes.Good luck and remember to take some deep breaths and count to five next time you're so blasted angry. I know just how that feeling is. I remember it exactly since it was so out of character for me to be that outwardly angry.
