I used to take Wellbutrin, and stopped because I thought I was doing great. Now I’m going back on it because I have ADHD Combined, PTSD, and Bipolar II. My new psychiatrist and I are hoping that it will not only help with depression, but control my mood swings, help my focus and executive dysfunction, and help me quit smoking and curb my appetite. I’m really excited about taking it again. I really want to take control over my life again, and be able to life a long, happy, productive life. I may have to take it for the rest of my life, but I’m okay with that as I’m finally fed up with trying to do it all myself without meds unsuccessfully.

i would recommend this as a consumer and a anti-anxiety, pill. both. takes 2 weeks to see any results. talk to the doctor and explain your symptoms. if it dose not work after 1 month, ask for something different tell the doctor the good and bad. see what they can help with.

I was given bupropion in 2008 for neurological pain after neurontin had unexpected negative effects. It no longer helps with my nerve pain but coming off of it has had horrible side effects including depression (which I never had before), frustration, horrible nightmares, fatigue and difficulty focusing.

@@nza78 in 2008, there was only Neurontin directly approved for nerve pain, but bupropion was used “off label” as an alternative for nerve pain. It did work better than nothing but there have been advances in neurological pain treatment since then. My doctors prescribed Metanx (brand name) which is three natural vitamins in specific high doses and in a specific ratio. It is approved for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It worked extremely well, curing it completely/permanently in 2-3 months. Note that I am neither diabetic nor have ever been. Also note that a supposed generic version called fotanx did absolutely nothing beneficial for me. It is one of only two medications that I have found a difference between brand and generic.

I have been taking it for more than 8 years. It used to help me tremendously. However, I started getting high blood pressure and chronic edema in my knees, ankles, and feet. I stopped taking it and I am going on 2 weeks without it right now and the edema is gone. I have lost 8lbs of water weight and I feel so much better right now. I feel an actual good sense of wellbeing for the first time in many years.

How is this stuff so much better for you if they don't know much about it and they keep having more and more side effects from antidepressants and anti-anxiety or depression. I've been taking benzos for 30 years and now it's going to be difficult because of the controversy the government has put upon the doctors. Maybe they're not as addictive but maybe they're worse for you I've had a psychiatrist try me on this stuff and all different types of medications antidepressants that don't help my anxiety at all and most people feel the same I don't know what the hell's going on in this medical field please enlighten me. It's like oh my God you're taking Xanax meanwhile Valium was a safer drug than Xanax because Xanax is a lot stronger I know a lot about benzos this is just crazy!!!!! Can't they make an anti-anxiety that will help just as good as benzos but maybe not these addictive or whatever I don't know so for so on this is just food for thought and a quick voice text from my Chinese phone thank you so much

Great content. The sound is a bit distracting though. Your audio isn't very clear, and minor tweaking in the editing software can clear this up. The music is too loud compared to your voice, which makes it difficult to focus on what you're saying. The edits are a bit jarring.
