I've been on it for over 10 years and it's what kept me from falling to pieces all this time. I suspect the next pdoc will take me off it because I'm not an a mood stabilizer as well. I'm on a max dose, and I don't remember any problems other than a little dry mouth (so I chew gum) until I went from 300mg to 450mg and had two weeks of solid migraines.
I notice if I forget to take it, same day - I start feeling hyperemotional. If I skip a day, I really notice because everything makes me cry. It definitely is helping me keep that under control. I don't know about what others have said about it adding to anxiety. I think that could be true but have no good way to know what it would be like without the Wellbutrin. I think I'd be anxious regardless, so I'm not sure how much difference it might be making.
It's been a lifesaver for me, but of course with the pending bipolar dx, I'm guessing I'll have to try some other stuff for awhile.
