I started taking Wellbutrin last week. I feel restless and low energy last few days. Also, feel bit dizzy sometime after the medication. Usually how many days will it take for the medication to work?

For me it was 3-4 days of suck at first and another day or two when I upped the dose.

If you’ve had more than a week of feeling awful talk to your doctor. You may not tolerate it. The benefits usually take ~6 weeks since it takes a while to build up in your brain.

Hang in there - lots of medicines out there, but unfortunately most people need to try a couple times before they find the right one for them.

Also (since my doctor didn’t tell me this when I started this medication) if you don’t like how you’re feeling on it DONT just quit cold turkey. It’s a taper off type med.

I wish people would think clearly and hard about having children beforehand. Working as a school counselor and a youth therapist, so much trauma starts early simply because parents don't know any better or do what they were taught. It's tough when it isn't abuse or neglect, but it's still having a negative impact on the child's life. Should I recommend family therapy? Is it overstepping to recommend the parent go to private therapy as well?

I've suffered from chronic anxiety with related depression for most of my adult life. Recently I sought my state's Lawyer Assistance Program's help finding treatment professionals. At their insistence I spent a month's salary on a week-long evaluation. Now they've labeled me "not clear to practice" and say that unless I spent nearly a year's salary attending a specialty program, they won't release me to practice again.

Any other professionals experienced this?
