"i&#039;ve been struggling with depression and anxiety/panic attacks since i was a kid. i&#039;m now 36. i tried every antidepressant they threw at me from celexa to zoloft. none of them worked and came with side effects i couldn&#039;t handle. weight gain and loss of sexual function. when my psychiatrist suggested wellbutrin i was afraid of more side effects, but i was desperate. i also take valium and klonopin for my anxiety so i&#039;m not sure if those might mask any increased anxiety, but i have to say, i noticed a difference the first day. i take 200mg sr in the morning and i&#039;ve got more energy and almost no interest in smoking, which is a bonus. it&#039;s only been a week but i feel an improvement every day. i think i finally found the right one."
