But I do know that Wellbutrin is used for bipolars also, s/he might be testing a theory that you are Bipolar?

However, it has double uses and the doctor might just be juggling pills around to see what works. A lot of pills are used for what they're not intended for, to see if the mixure does anything different I guess.
