I have taken welbutrin since 2001 with only a one year break in 2012. I didn't need it then. Love it controls my depression like no other med has. I think ive taken 90% of the antids out there lol

Ive only had one side effect and well it was a good one. I quit smoking with out intending to. :)

Took Wellbutrin for many years and it really helped the gray clouds go away. I hope all of that for you in the scary place of trying a new medicine...May it work!

I have been on wellbutrin for yrs and it has helped with my depression. In fact, I tried a lot of other AD's and none of them worked except for Wellbutrin.

If can cause jitteryness in high doses but that goes away. And like Katlin said it can help you quit smoking.

I've been taking Wellbutrin XL for years. I love it. The only thing that I will say is that at first you might feel a little jittery. It goes away. Give it time. It's a good medication.

    You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
