I'm going to start it his morning this morning since both pdoc and pharmacist said it is activating. I'm at 150mg for a week and then 300mg.
What are everyone's experiences with this med? I know everyone reacts differently, but I'm curious to know what you think of it and if you have any tips about taking it that your doctor or pharmacist didn't tell you.
Thanks!

Hello, I started Wellbutrin SR, maybe about a year( give or take)I take 150mg in the morning and 150mg in the afternoon. I switched from Zoloft because I gained weight (quicker than normal). It was really disappointing being that recently lost about 40lbs.
Anyways, I think Wellbutrin kicked off about 10lbs, I find it works for my depression well. Recently, I have been second guessing its effectivness. However, I think it maybe just be outside factors making things worse. With Wellbutrin I noticed I shake a bit more than I used to and it doesn't do much for anxiety.
All in all, my XP has been good, and I would say give it a shot. GOOD LUCK!!
