"after suffering with years of moderate depression i finally decided to do something about it.  i have been on wellbutrin for  6 days now.  i started on 150mg sr for the first 3 days and now on 150mg sr twice a day.  i kid you not, after day 3 i felt like a different person.  it was the first time in years that my first thought when i woke up wasn`t ``i wish i was dead``..  i was drinking quite a bit before taking wellbutrin and have not had a drop since starting it, nor do i have any desire.  i am hoping that the stop smoking aspect kicks in soon, hasn`t yet!  my only complaint are the vivid dreams.  night terrors actually. they wake me up, but i am able to fall asleep again after.  small price to pay!"
