"i have struggled with depression for most of my life, after a particularly bad few months i decided it was best to talk to my doctor about medication. one of my biggest issues was concentration, which is why i was put on wellbutrin xl. it didn&#039;t do much for my inability to concentrate, but it did wonders for my energy levels and general mood. i did experience side effects, my hands would shake, my stomach would get bloated and gassy, i had more trouble falling asleep, sometimes had ringing in my ears, but most of these either disappeared completely after about a month and the others are very diminished. the only reason i didn&#039;t give it a 10 is because i ended up having to pair it with another antidepressant."
