When I started Wellbutrin XL I was paranoid, hearing things, unable to sleep, talking tons and feeling like I couldn't sit still or eat. Stuck with it and about a month in, I adjusted. Quit smoking too.
Really, if you want to try it and your doctor won't prescribe it for depression just tell them you want to quit smoking.
But, I quit taking Wellbutrin because of the loss of appetite and weight loss. The only two side effects that didn't wear off. Went from 300 mg to zero, absolutely no discontinuation issues. SSRIs are mildly uncomfortable but, with this? Nothing.
By the way, Cymbalta is not in the same class as Wellbutrin. It is an SNRI, the only other SNRI commonly used for depression is Effexor/Pristiq (Pristiq is the patented version of Effexor. When the patent ran out, the drug company came out with the same drug in a different form to keep making money on it so, if you're in the US and your doctor offers Pristiq ask for Effexor and save yourself some money.)
