OK, so you are more than half way to recovery...you have the correct diagnosis. When I took Paxil (before I knew I was BPII) I wanted to, and did, sleep 12 hours...easily...a day. I was tired ALL the time...sounds like you have a bad combo of meds...
I also took Wellbutrin and initially I really liked it but I was still anxious...it's a great thing for getting you "reved up!" ;)
I then tried Effexor with the Wellbutrin, then just the Effexor, which I also liked but still had the negative thoughts and anxiety. I am now taking Geodon exclusively and I love it.
Good luck in this journey for mental stability!
