I've been on Wellbutrin SR for several years, and have a lot of useful experience to share. For background, I am a chemical engineer, working in R&D for 25 years, with expertise in experimental design and statistical interpretation of results. I’ve also read in health science for just as long. Since the mid 1990s, I have been personally acquainted with depression, and therefore, have read a fair amount on its causes and treatment. I have also applied my strong orientation to experimen... View full comment

I have struggled with frequent bouts of insomnia since high schools. I've tried almost every prescription sleep aid on the market with less than positive results. They often left me feeling exhausted, had vivid, violent dreams, and overslept numerous times. Melatonin has been a life-saver. I take the 5 mg pill a half hour before bed and I sleep pretty well; almost the whole night through.

Started taking Aleve for arthritis inflammation and after initial dosage of 3-4 tablets a day, now take one per day. On those days of extra work, outside in yard for instance, I take another in late afternoon or early evening for pain relief.

I can't imagine taking this for another 4 years. It was hard enough to get through cancer treatments, but to have to deal with this on top of all that is unconceivable. Trying to keep my vigor and conviction to heal, but without sleep and so much pain it is difficult to say the least. I have gained weight and try to excercise but I now have tears in the miniscus of both knees and looking at surgery for that. I also have arthritis in both knees I didn't have before. Excercise is difficult, bu... View full comment

This medication made me feel worse. It is the worst medication I have ever taken. My doctor warned me that it might give me a bad taste in my mouth, but the taste didn’t bother me. What bothered me the most was the feeling it gave me. I became very nauseated and I couldn’t eat anything without almost vomiting. My stomach was in knots and I was very lightheaded. I would NEVER take this medication again.

Whenever I'm not sick but can't sleep, I take it and it helps me go to sleep. It relieves my cold symptoms quickly and provides a comfortable sleep.
