Been on Wellbutrin for several years, first at 150 SR x 2, recently (this week) had it increased to 200 SR x 2. It will clearly get you "speedy" for a bit, and may cause chest pain and tachycardia. These subside in a week or so, so don't give up too quickly if these arise. It's not a panacea for depression, but does lift your mood and increase your energy level. Another unfortunate side effect is that it can bother your sleep. You will eventually go to twice daily dosing. Try to take second dose at least 8 hours before you want to go to sleep. I take mine at 5:45 and noon. With food is better. Let us know how you are doing with it! :)
