Wellbutrin is one of those drugs that most people either do well on, or it's disastrous for them. For me it was the latter---that drug is the only reason the descriptor "psychotic" is in my medical record. It sent me full-on into mania and suddenly I was slamming doors at work, threatening to kill people, raging and screaming......it was gnarly.

For those it works for, however, it's usually a winner. It's definitely worth trying, as the majority of BPers who use it do really well on it. Good luck!
