"back in feb i had first started not sleeping well and by the end of that month major depression was in full effect. i tried numerous atypical antidepressants only getting major side effects.  i was not inclined to use an ssri since side effects seem to outweigh some of the positives they offer. reluctant to give up on medication all together i was still not sleeping major battle with anxiety and insomnia. i decided to try wellbutrin 150mg xl. let me clearly explain the first 2 weeks were rough. no sleep think i slept 3 days or so. after the 3rd week i started to see more positive motivation and energy to get through the day. the energy is balanced now and the depressed thoughts and anxiety are in control. i&#039;m just going to week 4... onward"
