I did not take it for depression. I took it to stop smoking and it worked very well. I had 0 cravings. The one side effect was I had nightmares.
-
It made me irritated and talk too much.
-
I suppose it worked, but I stopped taking it because of twitchy large muscles, e.g. in the legs.

I took it for depression(amongst many others in the SSRI family) It did do some for the smoking cessation as well,but the mad didn't do me too much for my depression. I had been on Zoloft for 5 years and the switch just didn't happen fast enough,well enough,or effective enough. It reacts differently to everyone,don't dismiss it out of hand,try it for a 6 week period,that's how long it takes to get therapeutic,if by then,it hasn't improved your depression,ask for a change,or an increase,as they tend to start people out on lower doses in the begining.

I took Welbutrin for depression and it helped me a little. I was not on it for long. I also have OCD so I had to go on Paxil instead. The best thing about Welbutrin is that it does not interfere with the sex drive. At least, it did not with me. Overall, I think it is a good medication for depression.
