Answers:
Are you seeing a therapist in addition to the psychiatrist? If you are not, that may be why you don't understand the way you are feeling. Perhaps there are things going on in your life causing you to be more depressed again, perhaps it's the medication. If you are not seeing a therapist, ask your psychiatrist to refer you to someone, this will help you greatly. I know you say you don't trust your psychiatrist but continue to use the medication she is giving you and don't stop taking them. Express your concerns to her and see what she tells you. If you still do not feel at ease with her, ask her to refer you to someone else. But again, don't stop taking your meds, and take steps towards seeing a therapist. Good luck with everything

I know how you feel in this kind of situation. I was diagnosed with Manic Depression years ago and was on several medications. I would be on one and it wouldn’t work so they’d put me on another, but then that wouldn’t work so they would up the dosage, but that wouldn’t work either. I was changing in dosages and types of medication like crazy. But unfortunately you have to go through this method to find the right medicine for you. One medication made me hear voices and completely threw my mind off balance. When I was last admitted to the hospital they put me on Wellbutrin XL 300 and I have been on it for 2 and a half years, it works wonderful for me! I really think it has helped me over the past few years. But I just want you to know that EVERY person will react differently to Wellbutrin. Some will like it and some will hate it. It can help or it can turn things worse. It just depends on the person. So whatever you do, don't base it on your friend’s experience before closing this option out. I am sure your friend means well, but just keep that advice in mind to ask your doctor about. Try it and give it a chance before making the final choice of taking it or not. Good luck!

I take Trileptal and Wellbutrin 300 mg. It works fine for me. Everybody reacts different to medications. So there is no way for us to tell if it would be good for you.

As for your psychiatrist. maybe you need to find a new one if you don't trust her.
