"bupropion has restored my very far-gone faith in the entire concept of medicine for depression. it&#039;s not an acutely noticeable effect, i am not jumping for joy or smiling like an idiot but i am not depressed anymore. i still have kind of a sad life thanks to my mental health problems but i no longer feel like i need to kill myself in the near future, i don&#039;t cry, and my anxiety has become less severe.

prior to bupropion i had been on a ridiculously long list of other antidepressant medication (including but not limited to: fluoxetine, citalopram, venalfaxine, mirtazapine) and benzodiazapines for anxiety (like, 4 different ones). these did nothing. but bupropion did, it&#039;s kind of amazing. i recommend it highly."
