You've only been on it for 9 days, remember it can take months to feel the full benefits of the medication. I've been on the effexor for over a year. I'm so glad I stuck with it since it has made such a difference regarding cognitive problems.

> WillowHi Willow,
glad to hear that this isn't a unique terminal sign I'm getting. It just bothered me that I've not seen/found any other posts regarding increased feelings of depression on Wellbutrin - 99% of people find it too agitating.I'm aiming to hold out to the 2 week mark. From the 100's of posts I've read about Wellbutrin, the side-effects *should* ameliorate around then. Fingers crossed that this depression is exactly that - a side-effect.
Thanks for the input and glad to hear things are going well,
pete.
