Started taking Wellbutrin and Xanax a few weeks ago. Off Wellbutrin now.

I called my Dr and he told me to stop taking the Wellbutrin because it was making my moods worse/more suicidal. Last night was my first night not taking it and my mood swings and suicidal thoughts are so terrible. It's even worse cause its finals week and I have so much to do and getting out of bed is already so hard, but then you add this and uhg. Literally the thought of killing myself comes up at least once every hour.

Not expecting much from this post, just wanted to rant.

Xanax has been good for me. Keeps my mood stabilized(still feel depressed, but I don't have mood swings). Xanax also helps me sleep by stopping my racing thoughts. Also take lexapro and lamitcal.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Do you have enough to keep taking it just to get you through the difficult week? When I went off Paxil I turned into a depressed blubbering mess (I was fine about a month later, once my body got used to being without it). Withdrawal from these can be difficult emotionally.

I'd be careful about taking Xanax every day, your body can come to rely on it. My cousin can't go off of it because her doctor says she'd have serious heart issues if she tried. She's been taking it for 15 years or so.
