Wellbutrin (bupropion): I've been on Wellbutrin for two months for depression. On Effexor I gained 30 pounds. I have already lost the 30 pounds in two months and my depression is considerably better.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): Wellbutrin is a good help with severe grief reaction without the need for prozac, etc. For me, it gave me a break from the grief. No great feelings of joy but less deep gutwrenching grief, but also less ability to cry. No weight gain, no real side-effects. I've taken it for about 3 months and it doesn't change my personality. I take a low dose of about 250 mg / day and I'm 165 lbs. 150mg wasn't enough.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I've been taking this medication for a couple years. I no longer obsess over things and am no longer as depressed as I used to be. They seem to keep me in balance with my emotions. I would recommend this to anyone with depression and also compulsive behavior.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I have been taking wellbutrin for almost a month now and I have already noticed a change. I used to be this really upbeat, happy, positive person and all of a sudden I was tired all the time, couldn't sleep, was really sad all the time, aggitated really easily and also go snippy with people at the drop of a hat. My mom was the one that said you need to go see the doctor and find out what is going on with you. I've tried other antidepressants, this is the only one that works for me.

Wellbutrin XL (bupropion): This is the first drug I've ever taken for depression and have been on it for three months now. I can tell a big difference in my emotions. I feel considerably happier now on a daily basis and haven't felt any signficant side effects. I think I got lucky on my first try with an anti-depressant and would definitely recommend it to others.

Wellbutrin SR (bupropion): I have tried all sorts of antidepressants but Wellbutrin SR has been the only one that actually gave me energy instead of making me want to take a nap every afternoon. One of the nice side effects of Wellbutrin is it helped me lose weight.

Wellbutrin SR (bupropion): I started taking Wellbutrin six years ago. I'm still taking it. It just works, I don't really know how to explain the way I feel except much calmer, less agitated, less sad. I thought I didn't need it any longer because I felt so good for many years and tried going off of it but after about 3-4 weeks, I felt just as I had prior to ever taking it. So, I never have any plans of going off it.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I've been taking WB for almost two months for chemical depression. I started with a feeling of being down, lethargic, disinterested for a long period and in the end, a feeling of being defeated. I contacted the doctor as I'm generally an upbeat person, but I just couldn't shake this. I have started losing weight (10 lbs so far, couldn't lose before), am very active, belly laughs and feeling of great joy again. Only side effect seems to be making my minor PE slightly less controllable.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I have taken this medicine for at least 3 years for depression. I love it. It has no sexual side effects like some of the others. I also took the generic and it didn't work so you may have to have the name brand. I feel fine,clear minded and my normal self. (Other meds left me neither happy or sad, just blah or ok.) My sister said it made her go wacky though so you have to get the antidepressant that works for you. I went through 5 or 6 to find wellbutrin.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I have tried many many other medications for my bipolar depression, none of which were effective. Wellbutrin improved my mood significantly and within the first two weeks. (they tell you it takes 4-6 for most meds to begin working) Don't suffer any longer, try this one. Ps. NO Weight changes!
