> Hi Lynne,

> Wellbutrin is known to cause irritability in some people. If it doesn't go away after 2 weeks or so, it is likely it won't diminish over time, unfortunately. However, if it does help your depression and you wish to keep taking it, the irritability may be lessened by adding either a mood stabilizer or a beta-blocker. If you are taking any other meds that increase noradrenaline, it can increase your chances for getting irritability.

Anita, how do you feel about using Neurontin in this case?
