Not if the Wellbutrin is treating you badly. I thought you had not restarted the Wellbutrin yet. My mistake.
> Today on 75mg of Trileptal
Why are you taking only 75 mg? Is that what your doctor prescribed for you? It seems rather low. I thought 600 mg was at the low range for treating bipolar disorder.
If you want to avoid using an antidepressant, the combination of Lamictal and Abilify will not only help with the depression, but prevent the mania as well.
How do you know when you are manic? How does mania differ from the anxiety you experienced with Wellbutrin? Did you ever experience mania without being on an antidepressant?
Perhaps you can provide some more information regarding your case history in order for people to offer input. What did your illness look like before being treated? How old were you when you experienced your first mood episode (depression or mania)? Which antidepressants help? Which antidepressants hurt? Which antidepressants trigger mania?
