Working pretty good for me. Gave me back motivation and energy. I stay wired. I’m still working on my anxiety overall but it has definitely helped me. I’m on 300mg XL

For years I was on 150 XL (for reference: XL is 24 hour release and SR is 12 hour release). 150 XL was great for motivation, productivity, general contentment. I think Wellbutrin is ideal for the “can’t get out of bed” types of depression and maybe even a little ADHD.

I recently went up to 300 XL though and couldn’t sleep. My doc changed me to 100 mg SR twice a day (so 200 mg total) and it’s absolutely perfect.

For those on it, is WB their only medication or is it supplemental to an existing SSRI?

It’s my only antidepressant. I take propranolol for anxiety.
