Wellbutrin and Lamictal? Start with? POSSIBLE BP

Posted by HEART~ on June 30, 2006, at 10:50:01

Dr. wants me to try Wellbutrin BUT I have not had too much sucess with other types of Antidepressants in the past and had to stop them. My concern is I may be BP, I am not certain nor is my Dr. certain. I suspect I may have had hypomanic or mild epsidoes.
Is there harm in putting me on something like Wellbutrin because it can be so stimulating? Was thinking I should begin Lamictal first but Dr. said you don't want to stabalize your current mood like you are or do you? He said to start the Wellbutrin first but I understand Lamictal can offer some Antideppresant affects as well correct? Starting the Lamictal would be getting a mood stabilizer in place first but I know from past experience that it takes weeks and weeks to get up to a good dose.
I am seeking advice and answers from people who have been down this road or can relate and anyone who can just over their knowledge would be appreciated.
