My father was bipolar - he never stayed on meds. I think my doc is concerned about me being on 2 (or actually 3) meds with no mood stabilizer. Actually, I am afraid of getting manic, but I don't think it will happen. The Effexor makes me sleepy and the Wellbutrin makes me hyper, so the two even each other out. Actually, the Effexor makes me a little too sleepy, but nothing bothers me - at all. So I don't think I need a mood stabilizer. I don't think I could get manic if I had to. I'm only taking 150mg of Wellbutrin XL and 75mg of Effexor. The Effexor is strong stuff.
