Hey Greg -
JohnL seems to be pretty on the ball, so my guess would be that what he says is accurate.
However, my personal experience is more similar to CarolAnn's. I don't find wellbutrin to be all that stimulating - however, I did find it very helpful for stopping smoking (but not until 400mg SR per day). Didn't find the addition of prozac too stimulating either - if anything, I was a bit zoned-out.
So, as I continue to find out, you can ask for other people's experiences, but you'll probably hear stories that a are so contradictory, you'd think the people were talking about two different meds (YMMV)... You can go w/the odds, but it seems you never know when you'll be the exception to the rule with this stuff... Good Luck.
