> Thanks. Allegedly I don't have bipolar. I'm supposed to be taking it for unipolar depression that keeps coming back no matter what medications I'm on.
Lamictal is more of an antidepressant than it is an antimanic.
> At the moment the goal is to see if lamictal is effective in combination with buproprion xl
That's interesting. My doctor says that he and his colleagues have had success with that combination.
> When I'm depressed I'm irritable and quick to anger. Also I'm drained of energy and feel hopeless. Doesn't that sound like fun?
I'm sure that it is not.

People might like you even if you aren't the life of the party. Still, we might have a tendency to blame ourselves for inadequacies that are beyond our control. Surviving these illnesses is an achievement and is a true test of character. I hope things get easier for you.
How does Wellbutrin affect your temper? It can sometimes produce anger and irritability.
Good luck with your new treatment.

climb to get there.
