Advice & Tips
I was not as lucky as those who get improved libido on Wellbutrin - mine has actually decreased. It also caused a mild erectile dysfunction. But it's the best antidepressant I've ever had. Totally worth it!

Advice & Tips
It took several months for me to have a noticeable change in mood. It did not act "overnight".

Oct 01, 2008
Advice & Tips
It took several months for me to see a long term change in my depression and thoughts about death. I tried adding another medication for anxiety that I had in the initial phases, but it made me feel too sleepy. Knowing the anxiety stemmed from the meds helped me understand why I was getting anxious so it did not go out of control and eventually this side effect has subsided.
