I'm not expecting any change in mood, because the Zoloft + Edronax had the depression well controlled, and from experience, the Zoloft + Welbutrin will have the same effect, but I'm hoping thatt he Welbutrin might knock some of Zolofts sexual side effects on the head.

Well, I've survived the first 24 hours off Edronax and on Welbutrin without anything unplesant to report.

>I'm lovin' bupropion atm :) (sorry I hate using brand names, makes it confusing at times...)
I take 300mg and find it the most activating of all non-stimulant ADs. I'm on quite a mixture of meds but the Zyban (bupropion- see what I mean? lol) is becoming even stronger now, despite being on it for a good while. But despite that, the best effects seem to come on VERY gradually. Yes, u might feel it within a week but even after months its effects just keep getting stronger. I would definitely define it as a very slow acting stimulant. It should kick reboxetine outa the water! Expect some anxiety at first tho.
Make sure you get to 300mg asap (if tolorated) as 150mg might be too subtle. I guess ul find out as u titrate upwards.
And not forgetting DA reuptake inhibition ul get to, making it IMHO far more effective than reboxetine. And u shouldn't feel any withdrawals from reboxetine' as bupropion's NRI effects will fill in the gaps left by reboxetine's NRI effect that mite normally lead to withdrawals to some extent.
And hitting all 3 neurotransmitters (SE, NE, DA) you're covered very well indeed!
Good luck!

Gave me hallucinations and a tremor. What the hell? Other than that, mood uplift was obvious after two weeks.
