You just made me laugh.
Thank you! How great that the side effects were positive ones.
Another possibility to add to the list. I understand what you mean (what works for one might not work for another) but it is still helpful for me to learn about other's experiences. I just found a nurse practitioner midwife who works with depression cases. And she sees you for a whole hour to get a good picture of what is going on. I think she might be a good match for me to talk to and figure this out.
I so appreciate you inputting on this!!!

For me, Wellbutrin (generic name Bupropion) did successfully stop me from dreaming about dying/ committing suicide. However, what really lifted my depression, was combining the medication with therapy. Of course, I gradually became seriously depressed due to a number of stressers. You obviously have stressers and talking to a therapist is more expensive than medication. I only still take Bupropion because I'm scared of becoming depressed again; however, it doesn't decrease my sex drive (I think it increased it) and I think it has even helped me lose weight. And let's face it, good sex makes you feel less depressed.
Sincerely
