For real. I'm on it, and I can verify this. (I dreamt I was cooking a gourmet meal for an emotionally distraught Angelina Jolie. ...And here's the weird part: She wasn't adopting any children.) The drug for me, did mark a real turning point to when I started feeling better, more social, and overall ready to go out in the world again. Hope it has some of the same success for you. FYI, the generic for Wellbutrin-XL recently was in the news for not time-releasing its dosage properly like the non-Generic. I use the generic and don't notice any significant difference, but apparently some people do. Hey Dossy, FYI, one of the side effects of Wellbutrin-XL is really intense dreams. For real.

Or, maybe you just give up all hope and just stop trying. Either way, you win. I do hope the Wellbutrin helps ... I've heard mixed results from people who have taken it, so we'll see whether my brain likes it or not. I start tomorrow.

I hope the Wellbutrin works for you; I didn't have that great a time with it. :) I’ve been reading the depression community on LJ lately (felt I should be reading it, if I was going to be posting there), and it’s been slowly dawning on me how awful it is to have to read that stuff.
