> I've been on Wellbutrin 300mg a day for just a little over two weeks. I was very depressed (suicidal thoughts) because I had been off meds for 5 months (every now and then you gotta try). The Wellbutrin seemed to get rid of the worst of it within a week. Can't say that I'm jumping for joy or have become a social butterfly, but I have noted some small positive changes. For example, I had to stop and get gas on the way home the other day---normally, this feels like a huge task--get that leaden feeling--but I found that I did it without putting much thought into it......it was just getting gas, ya know? A small step, but in the right direction. You know, only you fellow depressed people could understand the significance of stopping to get gas......uh, you do understand, don't you?

> Anyway, I agree that you should give it a little longer. Hope you have good luck with it! Take care :)Yes, making stops is a real chore. Especially to the grocery store. All I want to do is head home and go to bed. Like alot of other things one has to do, simple things seem monumental. I do understand.
