"i was diagnosed with depression 11 years ago. i can&#039;t remember all of the anti-depressants i&#039;ve been on, but for the last 5 years i&#039;ve been on welbutrin 450mg. my psychiatrist prescribed mirtazapine, for it&#039;s energizing effects when on high doses. it didn&#039;t work for me; then he prescribed deplin 15mg. i took it for 6 weeks. i could not tell a huge difference, so i didn&#039;t refill my prescription right away. (it&#039;s expensive since insurance won&#039;t cover it!) after i stopped my energy/motivation decreased, so i started taking it again. i&#039;ve been on it for about a week now and have seen an increase in my energy again, but the motivation is still not as high as i it should be. hopefully it will get better the longer i&#039;m on it."
