I haven't had any irritability on Wellbutrin (300 mg). I think it took just over a month before I really noticed a difference in the depression, but it was well worth it. I actually think it worked better after I dropped the Effexor (I had been taking them both for about six weeks), but I'm not sure if that is they didn't work well together or because it just took a little longer for the full effect of the Wellbutrin to kick in.
It has worked as well as Prozac did for me (which has worked the best), but with none of the side effects.
