A couple weeks ago when my pdoc added the depakote she also called in some wellbutrin SR 150mg once per day in the morning. It has been sitting in my dresser drawer. I am confused as to whether I want to add another med. Right now I'm taking lithium, depakote, and xanax as needed. I am feeling the crash from the mania that I was having when my in-laws were here. I am so tired all of the time. At first I thought it was the depakote, which I still think it could be, but it is feeling more like true depression now. Even my arms are heavy. I've got loads of laundry and housework to do yet I don't do it. I would rather sit in the recliner and rock with my youngest or lay with her on the couch. This is anti-me. I am a go-go-go person. I'm a perfectionist. I am usually very driven. Maybe the depakote is working and this is how a neurologically normal person feels, I don't know.

I've been on Prozac which made me feel really disconnected from everyone so I stopped that. After 3 weeks on Zoloft it triggered a manic episode. That was all before I found this forum. I want to take the wellbutrin but am worried it could cause mania, pdoc assured me that of all anti-depressants that wellbutrin was the least likely to cause mania.

If you have experience with wellbutrin please reply or send me a message (if you feel more comfortable with that).

P.S. I quit smoking 4 years ago so that's not a factor.
