"a 57 y/o highly skilled mental health executive, usually patient and steady. i&#039;d become increasingly fatigued, short-fused at work/home. started budeprion a month ago. first 3 days 150 mg, then 150 2xday. side effect - nausea. cut back for a week to 150 once p/day. up to 300 a week later. no nausea. still moderately fatigued but enjoying exercise again. i&#039;m no longer dismissing my stressors as part of life. i%u2019m laying boundaries, which in itself is a stressor. i had an outburst this week at work due to disgust with unacceptable volume of work. but i vented in a safe place. i have confidence in myself, employer and family (whose expectations have been unreasonable) that the adjustment will have a positive outcome."
