How long does it take a prescription medication like wellbutrin (bupropion) to start working?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Can be very fast: Within a few days to weeks, but full effect will take many weeks to manifest. Keep in mind also dose adjustment is usually necessary to get to the right dose. Not being at the right dose can mean no effect at all. Don't give up too soon.
