Wellbutrin works really well for depression, for me at least. I would say i was about 80 percent depression and 20 percent hypo mania (mostly med induced hypomania's though). But the wellbutrin really took the depression away. I am also on topomax wich actually has weight loss as a side effect and is a mood stabilizer but used for alot of other things. I have had 0 side effects and been stable and actually happy and functioning since starting them. Something to consider maybe?
