Second time around ... I was on Wellbutrin for several years and thinking I was better I went off of it almost two years ago. Recently started back up in August and it doesn’t seem to be working as quickly if at all. I’ve been on 150xl for a little over a month. I used to be on 300xl but started back slowly on 150. It’s doing the opposite so far. I’m tired all the time and unmotivated worse then when I was off of it. Maybe it’s not been long enough for it to work? Or maybe I need to go up to 300xl but I’m afraid if I’m this tired on 150xl it may be worse to go up. I really want this to work. Anyone on this for a second time and can provide any input? Thanks in advance!!

I've been on it twice—both times with the same results. Yes, overall I felt better after a few weeks. It even made it easier for me not to smoke which I thought was a nice benefit. It had only one drawback for me... after a few months, I began to experience horrid dreams of violent death, frequently mine. During this time, my mood was okay. I just didn't want to sleep. As soon as I stopped taking the medication and it got out of my system the awful dreams stopped. My reaction was not common, I just happened to be rare.
