"i started taking 150mg wellbutrin sr about a month ago to treat severe atypical depression, and it has been nothing short of miraculous for me.  the first two weeks were rough.  i had some heart palpitations brought on by a combination of the meds and caffeine, so i had to stop the caffeine.  i also had to work through a bit of insomnia early on, but that side effect has subsided, and now i actually sleep and wake well rested.  for the first time in a decade, i&#039;m hopeful.  my negative thoughts are still there, but unlike before, i have control over them.  i can manage them in a non-destructive way.  words cannot express what it feels like to know that you can, for the first time in so long you can&#039;t remember, function as a normal person."
