> My therapist told me that since I stopped Paxil on my own about 2 weeks before starting Wellbutrin, that my depression was catching up to me before the Wellbutrin totally kicked in. So it's possible the irritability, anger, crankiness was just part of my depression rather than a direct side effect of the Wellbutrin. But since Wellbutrin acts as kind of a stimulant, it probably all worked together to make me a very *not nice* person to be around for a while.

One of the most frustrating things I find with depression and meds is the need to try different ones, different strengths, different combinations, until you find out what works for you. Can take a daggumit long time before you start feeling *normal* again.
