I finished off my first batch of pills and got a refill, and I still dont think I feel any differnent. Not sure how many pills were in the first bottle but probably 30 so thats almost 3 weeks.

I would think that I shouldve felt a mood boost or increased energy or something by now, but I’m not noticing it.

Sucks.

Anyway have good or bad or neutral results with wellbutrin or its generic?

Why do you say generic is bad @Milk ? The information out there says they have the same active ingredients. The difference between generic and name brand are supposed to be fairly small.

Wellbutrin triggered intense ocd in me. I only lasted on it for a very short time. I wanna say 2 weeks. I can take ssri’s but not snri’s or ndri’s. They make me nuts.

It’s important that you noticed. You are your own best dr. It’s all about trial and error!
