Feel less depressed?: Did you understand the things that led to your being diagnosed as having a Clinical Depression? I hope you did - those are the indications you might look for to see if they are less troublesome now. If not - you need to try to solve the problems in another way. If yes, it worked. In-between? then it's hard to say why but it could be the Wellbutrin (bupropion) or other changes in life. Okay? Feel better?

Feel better but ..: Know that it make time for a medication to really "kick in" for you. As your body's neurochemistry has to adjust and/or the dose needs to be right for you. This can takes weeks if not months. But if it's going to work for you, you should feel some improvement in your moods, or energy levels, or desire to be active, or ability to concentrate.
