Has caused severe nausea. Have to eat almost constantly to fight nausea. Gaining weight. Depression seems worse. Also feeling very angry/agitated with this med. If you've had success with SSRI meds then I would recommend avoiding this drug.

Comment:
I had been taking bupropion XL 150 mg for about 3 1/2 years.
