Advice & Tips: The drug did what is was suppose to; it lifted me right out of depression. I felt a definite improvement in my quality of life. It moderately suppressed my appetite. It increased restless sleeping.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Jul 13, 2010
Advice & Tips: All prior side effects I was experiencing (no orgasm, suppressed appetite) are gone. Too bad; I liked the whole suppressed appetite thing. I am about half way to what is considered to be 'therapeutic levels", I feel that Wellbutrin is already having a positive affect on my daily life.

Date: Jun 19, 2010
Advice & Tips: Major con: between 100-150mg, lost the ability to have an orgasm. Sex drive is slightly heightened, libido is fine, but I cannot have an orgasm. Major pro: Curbs appetite, I am losing weight (which could be a con for someone who doesn't need to lose any. Still not at therapeutic dosage, so I will update.
Cost: $25-49 monthly
