"i was on bupropion xl. i had to up my dose after 6 weeks of not feeling any different. i would get anxious over nothing at all and it was really depressing me because i couldn&#039;t control my emotions. i would get angry over little things that shouldn&#039;t even matter and have no patience. now that my dr has changed my dose i feel 10x better. it took about 8 weeks to actually work but it was worth the wait. i laugh more often and am just happy in general. it&#039;s not like most medicines where you feel loopy or.. it&#039;s a subtle change that has big effects. i take my time now and am not so anxious about everyday things. the only reason i gave it an 8 out of 10 was because it took so long to work."
