Paige, you don't need to apologize for commenting on a post; anything on the board is open for discussion and I was glad to hear from you. I enjoy your posts.
I had noticed that earlier you had said that WB had made you go on a crying jag. When I was on Zoloft alone I never ever cried. But last year I started these heavy crying benders. At the time I thought it was the Depakote they put me on (they gave me a new dx of bipolar II) but it was also then that my pdoc had moved me all the way up to 300 mg of Wellbutrin!! I remain convinced that somehow the WB was involved in creating some of the need for the mood stabilizers as well as Xanax. If I wasn't really bipolar, it certainly explains why I had such violent reactions to the Topamax in particular.
Like you, my depression hit out of nowhere, in my case five years ago after I had my first child, and then decided not to leave (neither the kid nor the depression!). I'm 42.
Keep posting! Cateb.
