After about three weeks of taking wellbutrin, I became irritable. This lasted two going on three weeks. I was so bad tempered, people trembled (and I am not in a high level position). I thoroughly enjoyed my period of rage, rather perversely I have to admit. During this time, I did not "take shit from morons", this was somewhat different because in the past I had always been in a "pleasing people" mode. Now the rage has subsided, I find that I am still impatient with "lazy-brain" people, but now I guide them instead of doing everything for them, (or biting their heads off as I did during the rage). I find that this makes me respect them more and creates a positive feedback loop. I don't suffer fools anymore, but I still get reports that I am "nice" just as I did before the rage period. I think my current calmer "leave idiocy at the door" attitute is more an effect of therapy rather than a side effect. I loved the rage, it was very good for me. Afterwards I felt very empowered career-wise. Now the rage is over, I am quite happy, people around me are more comfortable, and I work to make them so. However, I occasionally remind some that this kitten's claws are not trimmed.
