"it made me anxious for the first six weeks although i really appreciated the boost in energy.  i got a 30 days prescription for xanax during that time, that really worked.  (and that&#039;s about as long as you should ever take xanax, btw).   anyway, i was back to my previous self in 6-8 weeks -- kind of a miracle.  only side effects occasional light headed-ness.  every doctor i have talked to about wellbutrin loves it.  i do too."
