In reply to WELLBUTRIN and my husbands now a JERK!! HELP!!, posted by tearful tiffany on October 27, 2000, at 8:31:31
Hi Tiffany,
I am on wellbutrin also -- never had the problem you describe. Ditto for my wife. What you might want to try, just for short term, is adding depakote. It is a mood suppressent and is good at reducing irritability. It is used to treat the manic episode of bipolar disorder (that's why I take it), and I have found it to really calm me down.
Another alternative is a prescription of a weak benzodiazepine, like clonazepam or lorazepam, in the smallest dose. These are addictive so be careful, but they will definitely calm him down.
Good luck. Your description sounds like my wife's complaints about me prior to my hospitalization for bipolar disorder. I am totally different now. :-)
