I was depressed. Went to family doc, got on Effexor, helped a little but not enough. Went to Pdoc -added Wellbutrin, helped a little - upped the doses on both meds at the same time. Got Hypomanic. Quit Wellbutrin, mania disappeared. How does 1 episode of mania in my life, induced by medication make me bipolar? If I took a med that made me paranoid and hallucinate, does that mean I am schitzophrenic? No. I'm just confused. Never was MANIC EVER in my life until I took Wellbutrin. Now I am labeled Bipolar II and taking hard core stuff that I feel is to harsh on me. I am depressed not MANIC. Help is appreaciated. I know you are not doctors, just looking for your experience/opinions/knowledge.
Thanks in advance.G
