I remember the worst period of my suicidal impulses. I'd been a wreck for a week or two, and acting out I suppose. I came closer to acting on my impulses than I ever want to come again, when I had a sudden moment of insight. I recognized that I hadn't felt so horrible before I'd started Wellbutrin. I suddenly realized it would be pretty awful if I did something very final because of a drug. The idea actually made me angry. Sure enough, the Wellbutrin had caused a hypomania of the very bad sort. I quit taking that, my new pdoc added a mood stabilizer to my SSRI, and my impulses decreased markedly.
