"mentally, i had no hallelujah moment. my slow and steady upward climb could be wellbutrin and/or therapy. i began with 150 xl, moved up to 300 xl, began developing rashes, and so i moved back down to 150 xl.



within a month of taking 150 xl, i had transient weird and sharp pains in my right thumb. it was located just under the thumbnail, in the &quot;corner&quot; closest to the palm and the rest of the fingers. it started slowly, and got much worse. it hurt in the morning, after eating, after exercising, and when i was cold (or too hot). i had several mris, tumor diagnoses, and surgeries which did not fix the sometimes crippling pain. i stopped taking wellbutrin recently and the pain has already subsided substantially.  the more you know."
