Has Anyone Had Excessive Tiredness On Bupropion Extended Release?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have always gotten 8 hrs a night before starting bupropion but now I'm napping for 4 hours a day too. I don't feel any positive effects, just I'm tired. The labeled side effects are the opposite. A few people on Google mentioned having this issue. I was hoping to see if anyone else here has.

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I used to adore my job. Now, almost 7 years later and after a landslide of blunders (and bullying episodes) by my line manager, and the company, that has lead to a public demotion, two mental breakdowns and now a forced 6 month sabbatical from the only part of my job I enjoyed (travelling and training staff) while I receive counselling, I resent every second I spend there. It almost burns me to be on the premises. I'm humiliated and broken.
