Katieb,
First of all, I believe you should find a new doctor because Wellbutrin is not a mood stabilizer and he/she should know that. FIND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE GIVING YOU.
Second, for everyone out there. This bipolar thing is getting way out of control. Not to down play the seriousness of someone who has severe manic/depressive moods but for the type 2, type 3, type 4 down the line to type 50. My neighbor who has been classified for 20 years as depressive is now bipolar. It was mentioned to me before that I may be bipolar. I experience hypomania with antidepressants or too much caffeine. This Wellbutrin I am on makes me feel hypomanic. I am not creating severe debt from gross shopping sprees.....although I did just buy an entire bedding set (comfortor,blanket,sheets) because I felt "I had to have them" And for someone who is anxious or panicky doesn't the body have to collapse from the strain of the crazy energy created. I consider that depression, extreme fatigue, etc. I have not met tons of people with different disorders but if you are extremely depressed aren't you at some point anxious thinking it will never end. I say we are all "Off Balance- Type 1s " and leave it at that.
