WB can do very strange things to some people -- like me, and also a good friend of mine. My pdoc is very cautious with it for anyone with anxiety or manic-type problems, and wasn't surprised that it caused anxiety, sleeplessness, dizziness, and all sorts of weird side effects for me (it was prescribed by my GP).

It works well for some people, but definitely can cause some extreme reactions. My friend thought she was having a heart attack the first time she took it.

I quit it after two months with no withdrawal etc., and the side effects stopped within a day or two.

BTW, my pdoc did not think this was a bipolar issue, just a not-uncommon reaction to a fairly unusual drug.
