Comparing Bupropion vs Mirtazapine

For Depression I started taking 150mg Bupropion SR twice a day for severe depression in January 2016 after being on 150mg Sertraline once a day for almost a year and having very little success with it. The first two weeks of taking Bupropion I was constantly dizzy and nauseous, but I waited it out and after two weeks I was fine. My depression didn't suddenly disappear like I hoped it would, but I found myself genuinely laughing and crying which felt so good. Now I've been on it for around 5 months and I'm slowly but surely getting better. I can function like a normal human and live my life now and it's fantastic. This medication isn't widely used for depression in NZ (which is where I live) but it's definitely worth talking to your doctor about.

For Depression When I was taking this JUST as a smoking cessation aid, I couldn't sleep EVER. Not even when I took half the prescribed dose and took it early in the morning. It made me crash, made me irritable and couldn't eat. But now I take it for Major Depressive Disorder and as smoking cessation, and even on 2 tablets (300mg total) I fall asleep! and not at night time...it makes me fall asleep during the day, especially after it kicks in. I can take it at 5pm and fall asleep at midnight or even before, take naps, etc. This is the only antidepressant I will take, because SSRI's do not work one bit for me. They make me feel more depressed. Wellbutrin does help my moods though. I don't get fits of rage when I take this anymore like I used too.

For Depression I'm taking 15mg for ~2 months the problem is that 15mg is not enough for depression and when I take 30MG I will have a lot of anxiety .So it is not bad in low dosage be aware of increased anxiety when you take it in 30MG or more. I'm thinking to take it in low dosage 15MG with another drugI will check with my PD.

For Depression Having been prescribed citalopram, sertraline and diazepam in the past, I was sceptical that this would work. It's very early days, but it does seem to have a very calming effect. Main downside is I am very sleepy so would advise taking it at bedtime.
