In reply to Wellbutrin and bipolar syndrome, posted by Joanna on June 5, 2001, at 19:30:50
> My best friend is a bipolar sufferer. He has been going thru a severe deprssive phase and has been prescribed wellbutrin. I read that this can trigger mania - has anyone any experience of this?
Depends on what you mean by severe. How prone to mania is your friend and how
well is he/she doing on the mood stabilizer, and which one??
FWIW, my 15 y/o with bp II takes lamictal, wellbutrin, and adderall and barely
stays ahead of the depression.Absent further info, without established mood stabilizer, wellbutrin is likely to set off mania.
