"i was prescribed this medicine for my bipolar disorder.  it helped me a lot. i felt great and my relationship with my family improved. after 3 weeks though, i had a severe allergic reation to the wellbutrin (bupropion) and had to go to the er twice in a week.  i had hives, swollen eyes and lips, trouble breathing, sore joints.  as soon as i was taken off of it, my symptoms went away.  it is not common for this to happen and i do recommend it."
