Went back to the doctor today she took me off the deplin since it was doing nothing. She is staring me on wellbutrin and keeping me on my viibryd. Just wondering from anyone out there if this has worked for you. I feel like I am just goin through the motions of life and not actually living any more. I have just about given up hope on ever being happy again.

Every time I take wellbutrin for about a few weeks I get really paranoid and psychotic but my depression goes away, so that is something. Good luck with it. I know many people who swear by it!

I have been taking wellbutrin for about ten years now. Tried a handful of other meds for depression before & finally got on wellbutrin after having undesirable effects on the other meds I had been on. The wellbutrin has worked really well for me personally for the last ten years. I know that these meds may work for one person and not another, but I do hope it works for you as well. I understand & know how draining it is to feel like you are just going through the motions of life. I have been doing very good with my depression overall and especially these last two years. I'm very thankful that my doctor thought to put me on wellbutrin cuz I don't know where I'd be without it. It's a scary thought. I think it's safe to say it's been a lifesaver for me. Hoping it works for you!!
