"i went through a very rough patch and initially started on lexapro, mostly for anxiety. it made me have no strong feelings, good or bad. i needed that for a while but got concerned about not caring about much of anything. that&#039;s when i weaned myself off of that. not too long later i realized i still had issues that needed dealt with. my doctor suggested trying wellbutrin instead as it targets different chemicals in the brain. it has made a huge difference for me in dealing with persistent depression. for the first week or two i had night sweats and very vivid nightmares along with a loss of appetite. i&#039;ve been on 150mg twice daily for about a year now and and makes me feel as close to normal as i&#039;ve felt in a while."
