I am lucky and Wellbutrin works for me. It was like…have you ever had an appliance that looks kind of bleh and gets stained and marked up easily, and then one day you realize there was a protective film on it the whole time and you peel it off and suddenly it looks great? That.

Welbutrin was the best antidepressant I ever Tried. The only prescription that didn’t make me even more tired. And I was like — is this what normal feels like??? And then two weeks in I developed Massive Hives. MASSIVE. hives that covered 80% of my thighs. *sobs* My entire body is off label. 🤬

I recently added Vyvanse and it’s not as miraculous and instantaneous as the Wellbutrin, much more subtle, but holy shit it cured my writer’s block. Just for that I’m never going back.
