Wellbutrin is what is finally working for me after going through many different things for many months with no results.

I am taking the Wellbutrin XL, and no bad side effects from it at all for me. They gave it to me because I had been sleeping so much, and Wellbutrin can have an "energizing" effect. It helped a lot.

The only problem I have is that I have to remember to take it in the morning. If I wait until even late morning, it keeps me awake at night. As long as I take it early I am fine, and in fact I am sleeping better than I have been for awhile.

At first I was worried that the Wellbutrin might have been increasing my anxiety level a bit so the doc added Celexa which I take at night. Recently we cut down to a half dose of the Celexa and that with the Wellbutrin seems to be the "magic combination" for me. The Celexa dose is small enough that the small sexual side effects are not problematic, no other side effects at all really, and it helps me sleep and curbs my anxiety, and the Wellbutrin keeps me out of bed all day and I am now feeling like myself again.

Of course everyone is different and will react differently... if the Wellbutrin isn't your "miracle cure" then there are other things to try, but for me, after 8 months and maybe 5 different meds, it finally did the trick.
