I'm on Wellbutrin Xl. My Dr. prescribed it to help me not be so damn sad all the time. Since, I've started working out, I've been feeling a whole lot better, but I would still get very upset over things I couldn't control. Imagine what I would go through just watching the news. Kleenex city. Anyway the Wellbutrin is helping me immensely. Spose to help with smoking cessation as well, but I've yet to notice that. I still think it's a good idea to talk to your dr. first, even a regular MD can prescribe anti-depressants, if they feel you will really benefit from them.
