"i started taking wellbutrin a month ago and i knew at that time i wasn&#039;t a &quot;happy&quot; person, indifferent to most things, didn&#039;t really like going out, etc. i asked my doctor for it initially for quitting smoking which i did one week into taking it. i feel more level and that&#039;s probably the word i would use, doesn&#039;t hurt matters that i quit drinking as well. just switched it up today to the brand name to see if that does anything different, the generic definitely did help me."
