> jylHello:
It is *very* possible that the Wellbutrin is causing your irritability problems. Just do a search on here, and you will find many with the same experience. I also turned into an irritable grouch on the stuff. Like you said, even if I wasn't "explosive", it's like this "..leave me ALONE!" feeling underneath.
I'd say having that reaction to antidepressants, you will want to look at adding a mood stabalizer to your prescription. For now, a good benzo will help ease some of the angst.
Best wishes..
Jay
