This medication has changed my life. I have not noticed any side effects after the first month. (i lost weight, felt on edge) After my body adjusted to the medication, it has been so helpful.

Comment:
This is the first anti-depressant I have ever taken. It has worked very well. Not only do I feel much happier, I have more energy too. Plus I lost 20lbs. I don't think the Wellbutrin directly caused the weight loss, but I think it gave me more energy and more of a desire to do things, which caused the weight loss

The biggest plus was that I've LOST weight, cravings were drastically reduced, and my libido wasn't compromised.

Made me feel jittery and like I was going to faint all the time - very lightheaded. Was worried about going anywhere for fear of fainting.

It has given me back some enjoyment. It certainly helped my *couch potato* syndrome.
