Yes and it most likely will. Relapsing is not easy nor is it good for your mental well being. Discuss stopping any medications with the Doctor Who prescribes them and maybe you can figure out better options. If the issue is with side effects, other medications can be added to help them or a new medication can be tried. I know I have stopped my bipolar medications 3 times in my life and they have been the utmost hardest times of my life. Some medications will not work the same or at all if you take them after stopping them for an extended time period. Bipolar is best treated with medications I have found, its the only way I can live a productive life. So please get in touch with someone before you stop any medications, also withdrawal effects are horrible for some SSRI's . I understand that its hard but stopping medications will only make it harder if you are bipolar. Take care.

Wellbutrin® (generic: bupropion) has not been implicated in worsening depression in clinical studies, but each person reacts differently, so there is a minor potential it could worsen depression in some individuals. More often, when a person experiences worsening symptom or no improvement in symptoms, other factors are work. For example, the medication may not work for you; you may need a higher dose than you're currently taking; you may need to be patient, because it usually takes 3-6 weeks to see improvement; your doctor may need to supplement the medication with another class of antidepressants or mood stabilizers. If you think you're becoming more depressed, talk to your doctor. He or she will know what to do next.
