you keep comparing it to SSRIs when there is nothing similar to it.
Depending on how severe condition is, it could take up to 6 weeks for patient to start noticing improvements and 1 to 2 weeks to get used to side effects.
BUT unlike SSRIs it BEGINS immediately one hour after first dose and lasts about 3 to 5 hours. A person is given this once a day for a week for them to start getting use to the side effects, insomnia mostly. Then usually increased to twice a day 6 hours apart.
I indicated I can stop any time and start when needed, you then compared wellbutrin to ssri's which was 100% false and then made the claim I was merely experiencing a placebo effect. Also false.
Despite your obvious more experience in all this I correctly identified how wellbutrin works despite my lack of experience
