"i&#039;ve been taking generic bupropion xl (150mg) for three days and i can already say i feel like a new person. before, i had no energy. other than going to work, all i could do was lay around and feel sorry for myself. in just three days i feel more clear-headed, energetic, optimistic... i wish i had started it sooner! the only other medication that&#039;s worked for me in the past was adderall, but i couldn&#039;t go on taking it due to the many unwanted side effects. bupropion has worked wonders - little to no side effects for me, other than a slightly increased sex drive and loss of appetite (though nothing compared to adderall in that department). i&#039;ve also been having really vivid dreams, which i love, since i&#039;ve never been one to remember them."
