In reply to Depakote, Klonopin, Wellbutrin, posted by Peter on July 10, 2001, at 3:02:22
I'm not Bipolar, I just have depression and anxiety, but I took Wellbutrin for 4-5 years with very good results. (I went off it cuz it started losing effectiveness after that long.) I will probably go back on it when I see a dr in a week, and I was contemplating asking to add Klonopin for the leftover anxiety and agitation.
Wellbutrin is very stimulating, I think that's where most people have problems with it. It could make you feel buzzy, give you headaches, twitchiness, agitated....BUT it can also make you feel normal, like it did for me. It was the first time I felt normal in my life. I had energy, motivation...I had a future. When I'm down there's no future, only past mistakes. That's why I'm going back on it. Even at reduced efficacy, it's better than what i'm on now.
Luck...
