depression
"this med was added to a low dose of SSRI and it did the trick to practically eliminate my depression and cover what the SSRI could not do. it gave me more energy, increased my mood, did not make me anxious or irritable which I was concerned about initially. Lost 3 lbs in the first month b/c my energy was back up to normal levels. (I take 150 mg of the WB XL) Research also shows that a SSRI + WB is an excellent treatment. all three neurotransmitters needed for depression treatment are raised (serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine). I'm a person in recovery as well so I do think the dopamine from the WB can help folks like me since that is what is often raised when we drink or drug. WB is the only drug on the market that targets dopamine."
