I have had positive results while on WB SR for atypical depression. The most common side effect for me has been slight nausea and increased short and long term memory cognitive ability! It almost is annoying recalling detailed facts from reading a newspaper last week. The other SSRI's (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil) are too powerful and don't sustain peak and troughs like WB SR. When placed on 100mg of Zoloft B.I.D., I felt as if I were losing my mind and memory. I also experienced severe effects such as nocternal enurisis and trembling.
The sustained release of Wellbutrin has, in my mind solved many of the saftey concerns (seizures) of the drug. If you are looking for an anti-depressant or have a desire to change your current regimen, I would consider WB SR as a candidate. Talk to your doctor and post your experiences. Let's figure out how to treat this thing we call DEPRESSION!
Best of mental health,
