There's much more to being clinically depressed.
Unless you meant you're depressed CUZ you've got no sex drive. :P
It's strange, but well, that doesn't make you crazy.

It was that word "tolerant" that threw me. Maybe you use it differently in the UK, but here it means something a bit different. Anyway, I see now that wasn't what you meant.
Sure, you could try more. If you have any personal or family history of epilepsy or seizures, you probably don't want to, tho. The more you take, the higher than chance you'll have a seizure. It's still not huge, but if you have a genetic predisposition to it it's more likely.> My reasoning was that most people who experience benefits get a rush when they FIRST take it which then goes.

It never did for me.

Well yes. You should try.
You could be someone who doesn't respond to Wellbutrin, or doesn't respond to wellbutrin til a point where side-effects are not tolerable. Psychiatric meds are highly personal....there's lots of people who'll tell you they felt LOUSY on Wellbutrin, and a few who'll say it changed their lives [for the better]. Same with most well-known meds. It's not gauranteed that you'll respond well to Wellbutrin, regardless of dosage.
> > > BTW Wellbutrin is only licensed as Zyban in the UK - the only medication to help me & I'll have to buy it over the Net.Waait...why do you think it's the only thing that'll help you??? And you're saying you aren't responding....? I'm confused.

NOW I see. I don't think Zyban has a time-limit on it here, maybe BECAUSE it's a known antidepressant. But anyway, it didn't make sense til you mentioned that.
Your doc can't countermand that and order you to take it long-term? Or don't you have a doctor?
Or is it illegal for him/her to prescribe it for longer than 9 wks?sl
