I've been on Welbutrin for 2 or 3 years. Like Bipolarnurse, I took it before the BP dx, and it helped lead to the BP dx. But differently for me: It sent me into mania, fun mania. I slept with many men and women and was a party all the time haha. Of course, looking back is like what was I thinking. But anyway, we added lithium. And i'm mostly stable. I like welbutrin, I have attention and focus issues that it helps with as well. But my pdoc says I can only keep taking the welbutrin if I take the lithium as well to keep me from going back into a manic episode.
So anyway, glad you found some things that are working and making you productive! That's good news
