I've been dxed with BP NOS (probably BP II) and I wouldn't give up my Wellbutrin unless they pried it from my cold blue hands. ;) My pdoc and the "big" pdoc I recently consulted haven't even mentioned stopping Wellbutrin. I don't have real proof that it is working, though, because I didn't begin taking it when I wasn't severely depressed.
I could become severely depressed at any time. (unless the Wellbutrin is working).
One question:What happens if a BP becomes depressed while only taking only a mood stabilizer?
