i ended up with a lot of heart palpations then they yanked me off of it because they discovered that it isnt good to take if you have an eating disorder,
effexor was the best one for me, no weight gain, sex life was really good.. etc etc

Stay away from Wellbutrin! Wellbutrin is dangerous in itself but is even worse when mixed with prozac. I was on 80mg of prozac and then given 150mg of Wellbutrin. The fifth day of being on Wellbutrin I had a Grand Mal Seizure. My doctor told me that taking the two together can lower your seizure threshold. I was then advised to eat more to counter act this with electrolytes. Not but two days later I had another Grand Mal Seizure that lasted 4 mins. I was taken to the ER had a head CT and everything to make sure I didn't have a tumor and they concluded it was the mixture of the two drugs that caused my seizure (surprise). I was advised by the doctor in the ER to never take Wellbutrin again because with my prozac it increased the toxicity of the two drugs causing very severe seizures. They even told me that it was good that I had this reaction early on when taking this med because there have been cases where long term users develop epilepsy even after they are taken off the drug. I am off the Wellbutrin for a week now and haven't had a seizure since but the doctors told me that that is no guarantee that I haven't developed epilepsy and that my next seizure could be days, weeks, or months from now even after being taken off the drug.

Wellbutrin causes constipation in some people, but not most. One thing that docs sometimes do for side effects is to prescribe a small dose of prozac along with a small dose of Wellbutrin XL because the side effects cancel each other out. Here's a site where people discuss side effects:

I was on Wellbutrin and the only side effect I had was when they took me off of it, I had problems with my vision (eyes extremely sensitive to the sun, trouble adjusting to light indoors) and at first I freaked out but was told that it is a side effect for some people coming off of this drug. That is just my experience, though it does not happen to everyone. :)

No anti-depressants currently on the market work as they claim.
The government doesn't want you using THC because its illegal......however, that is the best substance I've found for MY "general anxiety disorder".
Best of all, I live in California where its legal to use with a Doctor's Recommendation...
