Please don't scare me because I'm starting it tomorrow lmao

Wellbutrin was a nightmare but it sounds like I gotta do one more non-stimulant guinea pig trial before I can have proper medication, but has this worked for anybody? Online shit is scaring me lol

    It was great for me, until it wasn't. Very effective with tolerable GI side effects, but after about 4 months it completely flattened my emotions. No joy, sadness, or anything in between.

    GI side effects are among the most common, mainly nausea. I know you don't wanna lie but consider that most providers wouldn't question a patient reporting intolerable nausea. They may attempt to mitigate this by ordering ondansetron to be taken 30 min prior. Intolerable headache is a relatively common side effect of this one and would likely go unquestioned as well.

    Or you could give it a fair shake... before the flatness set in I thought I'd found the one... hope it does better for you.
