In reply to Wellbutrin is making me short tempered!!, posted by Lynne on November 15, 2000, at 16:16:41
Hi Lynne,
Wellbutrin is known to cause irritability in some people. If it doesn't go away after 2 weeks or so, it is likely it won't diminish over time, unfortunately. However, if it does help your depression and you wish to keep taking it, the irritability may be lessened by adding either a mood stabilizer or a beta-blocker. If you are taking any other meds that increase noradrenaline, it can increase your chances for getting irritability.
I tried Wellbutrin twice and couldn't tolerate it due to the irritability. I also had the same problem with Modafinil. What other meds have you tried, and how severe is the anger?

> Could Wellbutrin cause me to be short tempered and will it go away? I have only been on this med for 4 days 150SR twice daily. I can tell it has changed me from a sad person to a angry person. Any one else have this reaction? Should I stay with it or stop.
