Over a decade ago I was prescribed Wellbutrin to quit smoking by my PCP (I don't think it's used for that anymore) and it sent me into mania. First and last time I hallucinated, amongst other things. I've heard this about Wellbutrin from a couple of others on here, I think it's really activating and should never be prescribed if there's any suspicion of bipolar -they have to be more careful with that drug!!
