Maybe Wellbutrin isn't a good idea...
I was in post-mania depression where I just didn't want to get out of bed and was sleeping a lot. Wellbutrin clearly helped there to give me motivation/make me stay awake more and not sleep 12-14 hrs a day. But now I don't need anything to get me out of bed and I noticed a lot of anxiety and don't know if the wellbutrin is to blame. I think it helps more with motivation than with negative thoughts (at least that was my p-dr's angle), but I don't really know for sure.
