"i have been diagnosed with gad, sad, and depression. before wellbutrin i had only tried ssri&#039;s like cymbalta and lexapro; they were terrible. i have gone untreated before trying those meds and they did nothing for my depression, just made me feel emotionally numb. the first 3 months on wellbutrin were terrible too, huge panic attacks all the time and my anxiety worsened. now, this is my 6th month and i can proudly say that it is working!!! compared to my pre-medicated self, i have more energy and am actually able to follow through with activities i wouldn&#039;t have thought of doing before. most importantly, i&#039;m finally not depressed!!! it took away that really tough barrier depression had on me that prevented me from enjoying my life."
