Geez- I never thought that maybe it was the Paxil too... I am definitely going to see my doc about the Welbutrin.

I think I was on Paxil for about 5-6 months before the Depakote... so perhaps it's the both of them. The Depakote seems to keep me in a depressive state. When I was just on the Anti-Depressant, I was a lot better, the depression felt as though it was going into a remission... and yet the doc claimed I was become manic.

Ahhh... it gets all so confusing.

Thank you so much Susan
