"i started this 4 weeks ago. i was originally on paxil but i was tired of its side effects. my doctor switched me to wellbutrin after also trying cipralex, effexor and zoloft.  it works great. i had almost no side effects when i started it (i did with every other medicine). it does increase anxiety for me though. wellbutrin gives me more energy and makes me feel alive again. because of the energy, i work out now which helps counter act the anxiety. it did not increase my sex drive but it made me normal. (paxil made it so i wouldn&#039;t even let my husband touch me). i have lost the weight that paxil made me gain and then some! i would recommend it to people for sure but if you have bad anxiety like i do, try being really active as well."
