> > bupropion was an awful drug for me as well. i got practically all the irritibility side effects possible >_<. dizziness as well. and stomach discomfort. i also liked the lack of sexual side effects, but i just cant tolerate the drug. i replaced it with geodon which has worked much better (im bipolar)

>my bipolar case was not clear cut. actually, my psych doc and therapist had no idea what was wrong with me!! my psych doc was ready to refer me to someone else in frustration because nothing was working and i was very acute. she initially diagnosed me with an anxiety disorder, but i only got anxious when depressed. my 'mania' is actually hypomania.. and my depression is 'agitated'.
wellbutrin + bipolar = DISASTER..
even with a mood stabilizer, wellbutrin was a bad drug for me!
