"i&#039;m 20 years old and in university. i&#039;ve been depressed for a few years and eventually decided to stop suffering from it and decided to take action. i was started on cipralex 20mg/day at first for a month and a half, but decided to discontinue due to the intolerable side effects. i decided to see my doctor in order to try out another medication in hopes that it&#039;d be tolerated. he put me on wellbutrin xl 150mg/day. just a few days in i suffered from stomach pain, considerable appetite loss and constipation (no movements for 4 days ), bouts of anxiety (out of character for me), mental cloudiness, confusion, short-term memory impairment, and a general &#039;spacey&#039; feeling--so i stopped 2 weeks in. however it did alleviate my depression."
