major depressive disorde
"I have suffered depression and PTSD for a long time.  I ate ativan like tictacs and tried many other anti-depressants (prozac, escitlaopram, etc. all of which had very negative effects on me and which I discontinued after trial periods).  Last year was a significant year for me with huge outside stressors adding pressure.  Long story short, doc put me on wellbutrin. I didn't notice anything at first, but I noticed after a couple weeks the black dog was going away and then I gradually became emotionally flatter and could go weeks without crying.  Great stuff.  I will be on it for life.  Con:  As another poster stated; bad and scary quick rebound depression when you quit (ran out and was away so could not renew scrip)."
