>>You're absolutely right. I can't imagine a more dangerous med than one that triggered a suicidal hypomania like Wellbutrin did in me. Yet no doctors are afraid of prescribing Wellbutrin, and many are afraid of benzos. Not much sense to it.
Both Wellbutrin and benzos can be useful, and pdocs should have the sense to know when to prescribe what.

Hi Dinah,
I was pushed into suicidal hypomania on three separate occasions by ssri's.It was only when I sidesteped my GP and went straight to hospital that I avoided disaster, and learned that I'd been having mixed episodes in response to AD's- over the course of two and half years.
Previously, I'd been told by my GP.(and a psych. too) that this was 'normal' depressive irritability- he said, "let's whack the dose up, get you off those benzo's and see what happens"!
Good job I've got a sense of humour.
Col.
