> about it. Does anyone have a positive comment?I have been taking Wellbutrin SR (300 mg) for about six weeks. I began to notice a small response after about three weeks, and I now notice a definite improvement. I have taken Prozac, Luvox and Effexor (not all at the same time!) and have only responded to Prozac (which quit working for me after I took a break from it) and Wellbutrin.
I have depression, OCD and ADD and Wellbutrin helps both the depression and ADD. I'm not currently taking anything to improve the OCD symptoms but I have found that I can deal with them better with the depression and ADD under control (though I might add something for the OCD eventually).
I really don't have anything negative to say about Wellbutrin. I have had no side effects. I really can't say that about any other antidepressant I have taken.
It's hard to tell who responds well to what drug. Wellbutrin may work well for you, it may do nothing for you, or it may have side effects you can't deal with. Stick with it a few more weeks and see how it goes. You may be pleasantly surprised.
