How did it work for you? Are you on it now? Good/bad, any info appreciated. My psychiatrist switched me from Effexor to Wellbutrin and I don't know anything about it yet.

i just started it about 3 weeks ago. seems to be working ok. I did learn the hard way that you don't want to miss a dose. Worst headache ever.

I feel like I would rather get off my meds. Plus, my psychiatrist, although he is very nice, doesn't seem to want to really understand me or know enough about drugs because although I was explaining how I was really struggling, he said I seemed like I was doing very well. I also told him I was forgetting to take my effexor and would go days without taking it and he said since I was going 3 days between doses I am basically off of it and just stop taking it and start Wellbutrin. I am just frustrated.

Wellbutrin helps so many people. I've tried it twice and it was not particularly helpful for me, but I really think I'm an exception. I hope the Wellbutrin benefits you.

It was very helpful for me. I had been sleeping too much and it gave me a little energy. Eventually I felt it was making me too energetic and starting to give me insomnia. It was a subtle shift in balance because it was definitely helping me.

I was on it for a while. It helped with the depression but it increased my anxiety.

It was helpful for my depression.

Yes, I gained a hell of a lot of happiness from Wellbutrin. But it stopped working for me, as these meds can sometimes tend to do.
