I'm Alex, have some type of Bipolar II mostly with major depression which is the current state. Lucky to have finally found a great counselor who I'm seeing weekly. Was doing well last fall then stupidly quit smoking the first of this year and had what seems to be a classic relapse into depression. Learned after the fact that I might have avoided this by taking wellbutrin/ zyban/ bupropion for 10 days BEFORE quitting the cigs. Sadly my pdoc slipped up on this, and then when he did give the Bupropion Rx, he gave the wrong dose! Took too little (150mg) for an entire month before learning from my MD that the target dose is 300. Learned a hard lesson, must research meds myself since one cannot trust a pdoc to be on the ball. I want to get the jerk fired. Anyway, I'm all over the map now that I'm about 2 weeks into the correct dose. Sleep all I can, to find some peace, and glad I'm able to sleep. OK well obviously a little hyper but the moods are over the map from hour to hour. Gonna peruse the posts here and at least feel there are kindred spirits about. Peace...
