Your very welcome Geralyn.
Caleb....... Have you heard anything in regards to Wellbutrin about the potential of a stroke with its use????

> > Thanks Gal and Caleb. Caleb, any problems you know of with Wellbutrin? You sound like you know a lot about this. I'm meeting with a new doctor this week, so I want to do my homework first.
>
> Yes, there are problems with Wellbutrin for *some* people. Some find that it induces "overstimulation", that it causes or worsens nervousness/anxiety, and that it shortens one's temper - causing irritability and rage. Several people on this board have complained of these issues.
>
> However, many people find Wellbutrin an effective anti-depressant, and much more tolerable due to no sexual side effects (or in some cases, PRO-sexual effects), no weight gain, and no emotional blunting. It can also help help attentional/motivational issues. Somatic complaints with Wellbutrin are usually stuff like nausea, headache, and tremor - but these pass.
>
> It all depends on individual reactions. If you can't tolerate things like caffeine, pseudoephedrine, etc. then Wellbutrin might not be the best choice - but no one can know until it is actually tried.
