I'm on Wellbutrin (lowest dose) and it works great. I have no side effects whatsoever. Been on it since 2019. It's kept my depression in check and even helps with my ADHD a little. They say you can't drink alcohol with it, but I binge drink every weekend (I really love alcohol) with no problems.
SSRIs were an absolute train-wreck to be on; they made me angry and violent. I was on them for 10 years and I honestly don't believe it ever helped against depression. If I missed 1 day, I'd get the infamous "brain zaps". It took me about 3 months to taper off the damn things and it was a brutal 3 months. The last one was in October 2012 and I will never take them again. I did not experience any increase in depression either, so that makes a stronger case for them basically be worthless for me.
