I'd like to know what bad things you heard about Wellbutrin, too. I was on it a couple winters ago. I got depressed & it was added to my mood stabilizers & other stuff. It really helped & I was able to go off it in the spring. I'm having a bit of a down trend now (my "episode" of a month ago), so I may be put on it again. I see doc in a week or two. I had an appt. & cancelled it cuz I was too ashamed at admitting my behavior & then a friend from support group told me it wasn't fair to have her treat me without giving her all the info. about what was going on with me so I made another appt.--Suzy
