> It sounds like she is self-medicating in an effort to relieve herself of anxiety. Both Ritalin and Wellbutrin can cause anxiety, which can act to propel a depressed person into a suicidal state. Wellbutrin made me feel more depressed, even though it did not produce anxiety. It intensified my dysphoria. It is difficult to guess with 100% certainty what exactly is going on here. What is she being treated for, and why were these drugs chosen for her in the first place? I am particularly interested in the Ritalin and Zyprexa.

Hi Scott,She is dx'd as borderline, if i'm not mistaken from what she's said in her posts, but i do think there's been a little back and forth on that. i have had depression with both adderall and strattera, so i can see depression with wellbutrin as well. i don't know why those particular drugs were chosen, i will ask her, and see what she says. she's going to see her T tonight, and hope she will call her p-doc.
i will try to post her with your info. and thanks for getting back to me.fw
