Hi:
The Wellbutrin causes a mild form of 'Epilepsy'(I can't remember the term for this, tho') *if* you're predisposed, ... even in the family(runs family). Besides this, it sounds to me like the Lexapro might be still in your system as reading 'just 10 days off. Or, WB and Lexapro simply does have a 'bad' mix that causing 'more' aggrevation in your problem, Bp. Besides this, it's VERY dangerous to take ONLY anti-depressant without a mood-stabilizer, as seeing your have Bipolar.Recalling in your previous posts, you certainly need 'Mood-Stabilizer,' a first choice seems the Lithium due to your tendency of 'manic' episode, such as 'psychotic episodes' in one of your previous posts. Also, Depakote that is more for Bp depression, but works well for 'mixed episodes.' Those 'two' M.S.s are a good route for your Bp.
In the meantime until Tuesday when you see the pdoc., ... it might be wise for you NOT to take any A.D.s (including WB), since the WB giving you 'black-out,' however if you could reach your doc., even ER, you'd better to seek a help ASAP, preferably BEFORE Tuesday.
