I wish I had some advice for you, Harry. If my doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin just because I lacked energy and "diagnosed" me with depression simply because I answered "no more than usual" when asked if I was depressed, I'd be looking for a new doctor. That's just me, though, and there might be more to your story than I've heard so far.

Does this seem odd to anyone else reading this thread? I don't have a ton of experience with anti-depressants myself, but is it common for an MD to diagnose depression and prescribe meds based simply on asking the patient if he's feeling depressed? Is it still common for docs to tell people just to drop their meds without tapering?
