I'm pretty sure it's not licensed here yet but do Drs prescribe it off-license here??
Any info about this and accounts from ppl who've tried it before (positive & negative) very much appreciated 
Thanks

What Dr. is trying to prescribe it? Here in the states many nurse practicioners, etc. are allowed to prescribe it.
I was prescribed Wellbutrin for depression for its' "lesser" side effects. After approx 6 days, I developed hallucinations and my moods began to swing drastically, having to be hospitalized afterward. Although I wouldnt imagine the same effect happening with others, but there's always side effects with anti-deps. You take the good with the bad and chance it. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. Good luck with what you decide!
