"first of all, i did not begin taking this or any other antidepressants specifically for depression. i was severely bulimic when i first started taking antidepressants, because it&#039;s fair to say that i was also depressed at the time. prozac and lexapro both made me incredibly tired so i didn&#039;t stick with either of those for longer than a few months. bupropion is literally my miracle drug. i started taking it in july of 2016 and still take it as of april 2017 and have no plans of stopping. i told my doctor i feel normal. i can focus when i need to, i have zero problems sleeping, i&#039;ve lost 20 lbs putting me back at my personal ideal body weight (5&#039;3, 120). i honestly don&#039;t think i could have recovered from my eating disorder without it."
