> Didn't you recently start Wellbutrin? I had horrible mood swings on Wellbutrin. I wasn't on a mood stabilizer at the time, but I had similar reactions to Effexor with a mood stabilizer.
I've been on Wellbutrin XL for about 6 weeks. I switched to generic buproprion SR a couple of weeks ago. I don't think that should be a problem, but I realize that there are always some who say that generics can be inferior.
Too much Effexor made me have adrenalin surges and talk to much and too fast. I recently tried to increase my dose of Wellbutrin to 300 mg/day, and within 24-48 hours, it became apparent that I was becoming to "hyper." ( Until I actually get an official BP II DX, I prefer to speak in terms of adrenalin and hyper, rather than hypomania). While on Effex. + Remeron.,I had one major "panic attack" during which I didn't experience any panic - just too much adrenalin . I suppose if I had panicked over that, I wouldn't object to the term panic attack.
Thanks
