Sure.
I wasn't on the SR version. And my dx is BP1. After about two days I became very agitated. The agitated grew into paranoia. The paranoia grew into auditory and visual hallucinations and I was admitted into the hospital. I have tried it twice and the same thing happened both times. The other med that has done that to me is Topomax.
Many people have a lot of success with Wellbutrin. I guess it just wasn't for me. Hopefully it will be the med for you. It will be a little stimulating at first but other than that the side effects are usually minimal.
Good luck,
Maxime
> Maxime - Would you mind elaborating on your Wellbutrin experience? I'm going to start taking it this weekend - the SR version where you take 150mg in am and 150mg later in day(coming off of Lex) and I'm a little nervous. What is your diagnosis? What actually happened to you? Were you taking any other meds at the time, or weaning off something else? Any comments you care to share would be appreciated :-).
