as you know, wellbutrin is an AD... hypomania/mania and depression are listed in the PDR as possible side effects , same goes with effexor... could this be causing the mood swings?
why 2 different benzodiazepines? (xanax & clonazepam) and why 2 different AD's? (effexor & wellbutrin)why all these different meds?
seems like the prority would be to reduce or stop the mood swings, not to just medicate each symptom as if they are not intertwined.

I suppose that the wellbutrin mixed with the effexor could be causing my mood swings. I wasn't getting enough AD effect from my Effexor and it was thought to be causing me to be sick, so then Wellbutrin was added to compensate.

Clonazepam was given by my GP. It is for Restless Leg Syndrome. It does absolutely nothing whatsoever for my anxiety, that is why I also have Xanax.

I am not too interested in stopping my hypomania as it can sometimes be quite enjoyable and why rob myself of the only joy that I get? I don't tell my pdoc about the mood swings. I only tell her about my debilitating depression that is so overwhelming and out of control at times, a great deal of the time.

I'm just curious though as to why pdocs are more interested in the hypomania end of it as opposed to the depression, especially whens severe suicidal ideation comes into play. It just makes no sense to me.
