In reply to Wellbutrin: How do I know if/when it's working?, posted by jimbo on August 31, 2000, at 1:54:07
I agree with Linda. Stick with it for at least 6 weeks. You may start to feel agitated, irritable, shaky, etc. That will pass. Then you may feel as though you are absolutely full of energy and want to run off to clean the entire house from top to bottom, wax the car, climb a mountain, paint the livingroom, swim the English Channnel, trim all of the hedges in your yard and then your neighbor's... I even mowed my neighbor's lawn. But, alas, that feeling goes away too. When this energizing effect wears off, don't think that your Wellbutrin has pooped out. It means it has JUST BEGUN to work. Keep a journal of your moods. Look back in 6 weeks and see where you are and where you were.
