I am a senior level computer programmer for a high profile software firm. I spend almost all my time at customer sites so I too have a very high pressure job that I have to be always "on" for but I have to say I did not feel much in the way of strong side effects.
I cannot say I noticed any pronounced feelings of drowsiness over the drug so I guess I cannot help much but then I am only taking 75mg/day. I have had a reduction in appetite or maybe the anxiety that drives my appetite but it seems to be helping me deal with a life long compulsive eating habit.
My emotions might be a little steadier but it is hard to tell. The sexual side effect is there and I will live wih it for now at least till I get to my weight goals. One of the things I felt the SSRI's did was rob me of the drive to (among other things) work out I do not have that problem with Wellbutrin and Topomax. I am working out regularly. This, in turn, helps with the energy level I expect.
