well it is a good anti depressant, I have seen plenty getting benifit from this drug. Insomnia is a common and possible side effect. The summary is not every drug works for everyone, so if you have tried this drug for 4-8 weeks and are taking maximum dosage and have no benifit then your doctor may consider adding another or replacing this with another drug. feel free to email me with any questions

I took Wellbutrin for a while. I was also on Zoloft, but Wellbutrin was added when I complained of a lowered sex drive. It help make me more motivated in general.
The best thing is it worked in two weeks. When I first went on Zoloft, it was about 10 weeks before I felt anything.
I had no negative side effects.
Feel free to contact me on anything related to depression, even if you just need to talk.

I was on Zoloft for a while and loved it! But, in the meantime my sex drive was almost zero! My doctor put me on Wellbutrin and it did nothing for me, at all! So, I guess my answer is, no, I have not benefited from taking Wellbutrin.

I have taken Wellbutrin twice. I did not take for depression I took it for smoking. It works wonderful for the smoking however I did have moderate depression while on the medication. Some other problems people expericence are seizures and loss of sex drive (bummer). But I would consult your doctor and see what he/she thinks.

Oh heavens yes! My husband's on it... it's like, he's human again! He's stopped being depressed, yes, but it's also eased his paranoia, done good things to his blood pressure and blood sugar, AND it's helping him lose weight, both because the drug helps, and because he feels cheerful and motivated to eat healthy and exercise.
I'm generally against drugs when they're not needed, but this one, I think he needs it, and we need him. It's different for everybody, but for us, this one works. The biggest con is, it makes him sleepy. So he takes it at night instead of in the mornings... which makes it a pro, because he had trouble sleeping before.

It wasn't very beneficial for me, but then again, I was just diagnosed as bipolar, so that would explain it...
It basically sent me into mania and hypomania. It did dramatically reduce my appetite, and I lost a lot of weight, but it really didn't help my depression much...but then again I really don't have "depression", I'm BP, so that would explain it.
