A member asked:
Is wellbutrin safe for bipolar 2 depression? someone recommended it for me since it doesn't target serotonin, but i have concerns because other meds that aren't supposed to trigger hypomania (lamictal, some antipaychotivs) have done so to me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are several meds used for that diagnosis best decided by the treating doc. You should not rely on a 'someone' but your treating doc and have her/ him explain the treatment and meds to you
