Look into local mental health clinics... That's where I am seen and I have the best possible Pdoc and T.

Isn't Wellbutrin the only medication you are on? If so that makes no sense? I would think you need a mood stabilizer of some sort.

I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time

There isn't anything like a free or reduced-fee health clinic available where I live or close to me. I've checked. No services at all. The only option is to pay cash at the behavioral health clinic that I've been going to, which is part of a big hospital here.

Yes, Welbutrin is all I'm on now. About 2 months before I got fired (got fired the day after Thanksgiving), pdoc decided to quit using the mood stabilizer and left me on the anti-depressant. The whole idea of this has made me very nervous, because my being on an anti-depressant by itself (prescribed by my PCP) was what threw me into the hypomania that caused me to seek treatment again after being out of it for so many years, caused problems at work, led to me getting fired.
