"i have been on wellbutrin for over five years.  after trying effexor and zoloft my experience with this has been really good.  i was in denial about my depression for a few years after having some terrible things happen in my life.  i cried all the time and felt %u201ctrapped%u201d by the depression.  i was also very moody. i never felt suicidal but had morbid thoughts about the weirdest things.  there were issues for the first week or so.  my mouth tasted like metal and i had major trouble sleeping. after a few weeks the crying and irritability went away.  i actually lost a few pounds and had no sexual side effects.  an unexpected bonus was that the jaw pain i had been suffering from for years completely went away.  i have tried to stop taking it a few times and the first thing that comes back is jaw pain.  after a week or so the crying and morbid thoughts start again.   now my doctor says i need to try something different because wellbutrin does nothing for anxiety.  i love my wellbutrin so much i am afraid to give it up but i do recognize my tendency toward anxiety.  wish me luck!"
