Did not work for me. I'm on Wellbutrin XL & it has been a blessing! Good luck. Stay well.

I'm glad your medication has improved your health.

Has your doctor tested your 'Free T4 and Free T3' as being low on T3 can also give similar symptoms.

Twiggy1972,

Good to hear you're doing well. Wellbutrin is not available on the NHS in the UK. I take it you're in the US. I've just been recommended to take Bupropion. What benefits are you seeing?

Bupropion and Wellbutrin is the same medicine
