"i am a mother of 2 small children and i began this medication about 2 months ago after being on celexa (which made me feel tired a lot and hungry all the time - i gained like 20 lbs on it).  the first thing i noticed with wellbutrin was a decreased appetite.  then i started to feel more alert - the same kind of alertness you would feel when taking adderall.  a few weeks into it, my mood was totally different.  i was happy, calm, energetic - all the things that i wanted for so long, but never thought i could achieve, as i was very depressed.  i was walking in a parking lot the other day and i thought to  myself &quot;wow.  isn&#039;t life great?&quot; - wellbutrin is an amazing medication."
