Advice & Tips
I took this to mitigate an SSRI side effect, delayed orgasm. It speeded me up from an hour to 40 minutes and also increased the intensity of the orgasm. It also had a moderate effect on my depression

Advice & Tips
Wellbutrin made me feel like an alien. I felt drugged and friends commented I seemed "zombie-like." I remember one morning looking in the mirror, becoming FASCINATED by my teeth. Not good, all the way around. May have also contributed to hair loss.
When I first began treatment with Wellbutrin the side effects were anxiety and paranoia. After a few weeks the side effects went away. I began to feel better. I could not take this 10 years ago. It wigged me out completely. Now, I am able to take it without the past side effects. I guess its okay to try a medication more than once. I dont know what effect it is having on depression, but i do know it is a little easier to get out of bed in the morning.

Advice & Tips
Helps my depression and since it is equivalent to Zyban (stop smoking medication) it helps me cut down on my smoking. I quit smoking for six weeks using Wellbutrin and nicotine patches. I started smoking again because I stopped using both and a major event happened in my life. Am back on this medication which will help me two-fold. I already have my new quit date for not smoking.
