Hi everyone, just had a few quick questions: Has anyone here been able to take Wellbutin w/o being pushed into a manic/hypomanic state? Also, has anyone been prescribed Wellbutrin in conjunction with a mood stabilizer or an anti-psychotic, and if so, what were your experiences? Thanks in advance to anybody who replies...

I've been taking it for close to 3 years now in conjunction with Lithium.

Hello,

I was not able to take Wellbutrin alone, as it put me into a mixed state. I was prescribed Abilify and Topomax as mood stabilizers along with the Wellbutrin. I still occasionally have break-through hypomania or mixed episodes, but they are not that bad. I also still get break-through depression, but again, it's not nearly as bad as without the meds.

Hugs,
Peg

I took Wellbutrin with Depakote. The only thing I got out of it was a ringing in my ears as a side effect. It didn't do anything positive or negative for my mood.

Wellbutrin, in conjunction with a mood stabilizer, is the antidepressant of choice according the the APA. :)
