"i started taking 150mg bupropion sr twice a day for severe depression in january 2016 after being on 150mg sertraline once a day for almost a year and having very little success with it. the first two weeks of taking bupropion i was constantly dizzy and nauseous, but i waited it out and after two weeks i was fine. my depression didn&#039;t suddenly disappear like i hoped it would, but i found myself genuinely laughing and crying which felt so good. now i&#039;ve been on it for around 5 months and i&#039;m slowly but surely getting better. i can function like a normal human and live my life now and it&#039;s fantastic. this medication isn&#039;t widely used for depression in nz (which is where i live) but it&#039;s definitely worth talking to your doctor about."
