We recently had a few discussion about it. If you do a search you will find a lot. It seems that initially it helps but the effect wears off quickly. Plus there is the danger that you can fall asleep just out of the blue. Yup, I would do a search. It was only a few weeks back. We talked more about using it as monotherapy though. Wow, if you took it with Wellbutrin you would be zooming around!
