Is Wellbutrin a good drug for depression or anxiety?

Do you exercise?

I do exercise and stay active

Cant say anything about Wellbutrin, but Ive had my share of issues in the past with anxiety/depression. Exercise absolutely makes my day. I crave it now and when Im struggling with something, thats how I clear my head. Keeping your head clear as often as possible is what you need to do. Easier said than done, but if you see improvement, youll appreciate its benefits.

Regarding sleep, I also go through stretches of time when I cant fall asleep and sometimes Ill wake up in the middle of the night a couple times and just not sleep good. Melatonin doesnt do a thing for me. I pulled an all nighter on it just laying there with my eyes closed for 8 hours... ive found that Zzzquil is the best OTC for me if I need to fall asleep and stay asleep, but itll make you a little groggy in the morning if you dont take it early enough in the evening. If you have to wake up at 8, take it between 11-12. Just my personal experience of course, everyone is different.


Good luck buddy. Hang in there. I still have days where Itll seem like the sky is grey on sunny day and then the next day Ill remember that it isnt too bad. The brain is a weird thing for some people.

It sounds like work is the source for a lot of what you're describing. Have you considered changing jobs?

It’s that brain fog. Yeah ive had stretches of that before. Im sure you have tried this, but go see someone man. Talk to a therapist first and then talk about getting to a recommended psychiatrist familiar with PTSD that can maybe get you on anti-depressants. And dont listen to people who will bash therapists and Psychiatrists on here. They have their jobs for a reason and help many many people.

I’ve talked to a therapist but probably not the kind I need. I am going to discuss it more with doctor this week

Would it be good to ask PCP to refer me or do I just call a psychologist up and make an appointment? I’ll look up the ones in my city

That’s a lot. Don’t undersell yourself. I hire guys like you looking for a change all of the time. I very much prefer a guy with your background that I can train than a kid right out of college.

Could help but it sounds like you may need an SSRI.

I'm not a Doctor.I'm a Patient.

I take Celexa(anti-depressant).I can't sleep without it.

I have friends that take different ones,including Wellbutrin.

I'm not depressed,I just can't sleep without it.

I also take xanax for anxiety.

I'm convinced that I wouldn't have to take Celexa except that when it became fashionable a Doctor put me on an anti-depressent.When I quit taking it I couldn't sleep.

A different Doctor I was seeing at that time told me that if you can't go to sleep at all,it's Anxiety.If you sleep a couple of hours and wake up and can't go back to sleep,it's depression.(His opinion)

It sounds like you may be dealing with something different than me,but they seem to cause the same thing.No sleep.

I wish the best and hope that you and your Doctor find something that helps.

God Bless.
