Well its funny because I've taken it before and I don't remember this much of a change. I think it is at least in part to my attitude. I just realized I was sick of being depressed, and it was up to me to change it. Of course, the Wellbutrin was what cleared my mind enough to allow me to decide that. But its still up to me to actually follow through.
I'm also taking Prozac 80mg and this is the only combo I've found to work on my severe depression. They are both very stimulating to me. Wellbutrin especially can sometimes make me feel like I've drank too much coffee. So there are drawbacks. I have to keep a bottle of Xanax on hand just incase I have a panic attack(but I rarely use it). But despite that drawback, this is the closest I have come to feeling 'normal' and happy.It may not even effect you the same way, that's what makes these meds so difficult. All you can do is give it a shot!
Keep in mind that you may initially feel very jittery, but it usually does settle down after taking it a few weeks or so. I think I'm still in the jittery stage myself, I've been back on it a week and a half. I keep knocking things over at work. :-)
