> Well,they have just told him he has a mood disorder he stays angry all the time they tried Wellbutrin first and then added paxil and then Topamax. He is sick of taking drugs that don't work. He feels like he is worthless. He is now off paxil and on 250mg of Wellbutrin and 100mg of Topamax. Just curious if this Wellbutrin is causing him to be more angry. It wasn't working enough that is why doc added Topamax. HELP!!

I have bipolarII and that is a mood disorder. Wellbutrin (at higher doses) have triggered hostility episodes in the past. The only med that has effectively controlled the hostility associated with BPII has been Depakote, thus far.
