I've tried them all and Wellbutrin XL has saved my life (and my mind). My thoughts don't wander to dark places anymore. And, I lost weight!

I have PTSD and have been prescribed several different mood altering drugs to control my depression and mental anguish.

There is no cure all and everyone has bouts with breakdowns, but realizing how well this has controlled the mood during the good times is important, thanks.
