Hello klw26,

Welcome. I have taken Wellbutrin XL for many years. Sometimes it works great, sometimes I think "what's up with this?" I to go through bouts of ups and downs. My pdoc added another antidepressent so I take both. I don't have a hormonal problem (no ovaries) but that could be a factor. All antidepressents work differently for other people, as many have said. But, your symptoms sounded similar to mine, so I thought I would share. I go up and down with Wellbutrin - don't know. Sometimes it's a trial and error with antidepressents or antibiotics or tylenol vs motrin - you get the picture.

I also wanted to share, that when I take Wellbutrin in the morning, I'm hyper. It also, I think, increases my anxiety level. I'm being reevaluated on Monday - we'll see if pdoc thinks it's related.
