Hi all! I have been on 30mg XR, 400mg lamictal, and .5 mg risperidal and have been quite depressed since Christmas. I have been diagnosed with bi-polar, ADHD, and mood disorder. All my meds are fine but when my doc put me on 200mg of wellbutrin with my adderall it made me all messed up. I feel ok but 20 mins later, sweating way worse than what I am used to and at 3pm I would feel scatter brained and out of it and would snap at my wife and cause a fight. My doc then bumped it up to 400mg (200 in am then 200 at 3pm). Side effects got even worse. I can guarantee me starting a fight with my 7 month pregnant wife. I told her this is not fair to her or me. I have absolutely no emotion or happiness for the last year. I seem to not care about anything. My daughter will be born in 8 weeks and I am just blah. My focus is great after my Adderall 30mg kicks in then at noon or 1. Nothing. I need to be more focused but don't want these numb, emotionless side effects. I see the doc today but I dropped my wellbutrin to 100mg in the am and will do another 100mg at 3pm. I have too much dopamine and it is overloaded. I feel like I did xtc the night before and my brain is fried with no memory. Is anyone else feeling this horrible events? Anything would help. 400mg of wellbutrin is just way too much.

mike ,

it sounds like you are getting too much dopamine and your probably feeling energized at times but mentally stagnant. It sounds like the dose if anything is too large and you may want to consider stopping the wellbutrin all together. Personally, this sounds like anhedonia caused my over stimulation of dopamine. I suggest decreasing your wellbutrin dosage and stopping all together.

Hi,
Memory issues an short temper are well documented issues with Wellb.
I have to limit my Wellb because of memory issues. If you look around on the Wellb meds page you will find numerous comments on both these issues.
Good luck with the new child, Ken
