> I too have heard that wellbutrin causes less mood instability in bipolar people; however I guess everyone is different and you just have to see how it affects you. I am bipolar and for me even a low dose caused too much activation and "mixed states" this past fall. I felt so much better when I stopped, and I started having a lot of "anti-medication"-related thoughts as a result. But now I'm more "anti-ad" and am taking trileptal which has helped some. --Oliver


Adding Abilify and Lamictal might help. It is worth looking into. I believe both drugs give dopamine a boost, but the risk of mania is reduced compared to taking a more traditional antidepressant.
