Working now (have been taking it just under a month), but experienced SCARY side effects for the first 10 days or so---insomnia, racing thought, hostility/anger, impulsive behavior. I'm glad I stayed the course, however.

LOVE it, love the energy it gives me, no dry mouth but am on lowest dosage so far. No appetite, but also no shakes. Love the energy especially in the morning. Still have weepy thoughts, but think these may pass with time. It's only been a week this time, but this is my 2nd treatment w/Wellbutrin in last 5 years for situational depression. Best solution for me so far.

This has been helping probably the most consistently of the medications I've used. The only negative side effect is if I use it too late in the afternoon, I have a little trouble falling asleep at night.

This was okay for a while. I can NOT take the generic! I had terrible headaches and was very nasty... Wellbutrin XL worked to treat my ADD in a mild form. I feared I was losing hair from it though... :\

This worked for me with ADD/ADHD for a while. It kept me up at first but I related well after a while. I noticed hair loss but I am not sue it was related. The generic was terrible!!

Been on this for 10 years too. Guess it's working. The only side effect I notice is some ringing in my ears.
Working / Worked
I just deal with it the best I can and try to keep my spirits up day by day.

I take this with prozac and buspirone and it works fairly well.

Depressions last so much longer than mania - doesn't that suck??? This med helps keep that in check but I need to do some "footwork" too, i.e. therapy, journaling, etc.
