I think the wellbutrin may have been making her mean and irrational. The doctor took her off it last Friday, and we are waiting to see what happens with that. Before she became depressed in the first place, she didn't express this type of behavior, so I'm pretty sure it's the medication. It made me MANIC as heck, and I feel 100% better after stopping that medication. I just about lost my mind on that, no kidding. I'm amazed as to what it did to me and I didn't really even know it. He did give me topamax at the same time, and that could be part of the reason I feel better also. (Yes, now he thinks I need it) The topamax may be the culprit as far as her hair falling out, because it is continuing to happen. The doctor told us today to have her stop taking it....she will see him on Jan. 25. That will give her over one week with no meds., and I hope that will be ok. I am wondering also about Zonegran, and the side effects with that. Does anyone know about losing hair on that medication? Her doctor said she is Bipolar, but she took an MMPI test anyway on Monday. That will help with the diagnosis, I hope. Suggestions anyone?-L
