> > My response to the addition of Wellbutrin followed a pattern similar to those I've had with antidepressants in the past. Two to three weeks after starting an antidepressant, I begin to improve markedly. This will last for 3 days to a week. I then relapse. I cannot recapture the antidepressant effect regardless of dosage adjustments and length of trial. This has been going on since 1982.

Yes. I was diagnosed at the NIH as having bipolar disorder. I become manic only in association with the use of medication. This has happened only a handful of times.
