Wellbutrin Reviews
Working / Worked
I'm taking 150mg of this twice a day so it's 300mg a day. It works a bit but I can't say it improves my mood or makes me happy. It helps me not want to kill myself and that matters.
Working / Worked
It worked very well and gave me much more energy, but I am not currently using this medication.
Working / Worked
its been a yr, and im still unsure what i think of it.
Working / Worked
I am currently taking 100mg now. I am conflicted about this use of this medication. Once in the past, it made me have homicidal feelings which scared the hell out of me. Have slowly been tapering.

It helps alittle.

It worked great, but I'm no longer on it.

Have been on it for some 4-5 yrs, it controls it to some point.
Working / Worked
Initially worked very well, especially increased sex drive but levelled out. Not much help for panic attacks though. Tried to switch to Wellbutrin XL from SR because I could get free samples but now I have been told I have hypertension. Not sure if there is a connection.

If Busporin is the same then it helps.
