"ive had mild to severe depression my whole life... i was on prozac from high school to my early 20&#039;s. when i was pregnant with my first child i stop taking my prozac. a year ago i knew it was time to get back on something because my depression was creeping back in... i spoke to my ob/gyn and she suggested wellbutin xl and omg! so grateful that she suggested this... i started with 300mg and now a year and a half later im on 450mgs. and let me be honest.... losing 35lbs because of this medication is a plus especially for my depression!"
