Thank you everyone for the kind words and support. I didn't come back here for a couple of days because I was beginning to focus on it too much. I started the 300mg dose of Wellbutrin today and did not have any negative effects. I am calmer, less irritable and am not holding onto my anger like I was. All good positives.

I am very much a routine kind of person. It helps me know what to expect as I get a little nervous about new situations. I am better than I used to be though.

I will be very glad to consider my reaction to citalopram a side effect. However another concern I had was that my sister had a very similar reaction to either Paxil or Prozac. I don't remember. I struggled with whether to tell her about possibly indicating bipolar disorder but I finally did because I do not want her to try another ssri. I'm not a fan of her medical dr as she tried to force her to take another ssri. The only reason she didn't was because I gave her a list of them so she was armed with information.

I think that right now I am going to chalk this up to a learning experience. I do not believe that my dr actually meant to diagnose me with bipolar disorder that day, it was more of a conversation of things to consider. Which promptly scared the crap out of me. I will definitely be much more aware of my moods just in case. I put an app on my phone to track my mood so I can see the changes.

I will be back off and on. This is an amazing and supportive community! <3
