Wellbutrin (bupropion) for Depression: 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) for Depression: 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) for Depression: 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) for Depression: 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 (bupropion) for Depression: 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) for Depression: 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) for Depression: 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!
