I guess it really depends on the person how their reaction will be. I believe (but I may be wrong) if it causes hallucinations than it's not something that will help stableize your moods. It didn't help with my moods, but nothing did. Welbutrin made me the closest to suicidal I ever was (never got close... My anxiety disorder stops that... Guess I can't hate everything about these issues lol). I could only take welbutrin for 2 weeks before I gave it up. It was lose welbutrin or lose my sanity lol.
I know those hallucinations sugahorse. I have those all the time. On Lithium I started seeing things and feeling things. I would see the spiders on me and feel them bite me, I would feel them when I pinched them and squished them but they weren't there. That's about the time my t wanted me to go to the hospital lol. But she was the one that wanted me on the Lithium that time anyways.
I don't know if those effects were from the schizo/bipolar I or Lithium. But I do know that they got 50 times worse on Lithium. BUT the only time I've taken Lithium were during HIGH stress times and that's when the hallucinations get worse anyways... It's so hard to tell... Such a fine line between these things...
By the end of taking Lithium last time, I would drive down the interstate and see buffalo crossing the interstate in Florida in October. The buffalo would get hit by a car and dissappear. Happened regularly. But that was the weeks leading up to, and the days after leaving the abusive ex husband. I was on Lithium as well. I stopped taking Lithium 2 days after I left and the hallucinations have gotten so much better. Now I only see shadows, hear things and see things move. Like the walls breathing, the ground shifting and such...
I guess maybe if you're already suseptible to hallucinations it can make things worse? That is the case with dissociation, could likely be hallucinations as well. At least in my case that is...
