I've been on effexor for nearly a year to look after depression. i'm itching to come off it asap due to its hellish withdrawl symptoms. i'd really like to try wellbutrin as i've heard good things about it. my pdoc wants to keep me on effexor...he says wellbutrin is not recommended for bipolars b/c it causes irritability...i was under the impression that it had anti-anxiety effects...? then the diagnostic pdoc i saw had recommended it as a good anti-depressant. hows that for mixed messages?!
any BP's with experience on wellbutrin out there? i'd love to hear what you've got to say about it.
thanks! :-)
