I've been taking Wellbutrin for...god, I think it's been more than two years now. I found it electrifying at first but the edge wears away (after months...). I just HATE the constipation and gas, and whoever said it is easily remedied, well, that doesn't apply to my constipation. I've missed work due to stomach pain. And I think the constipation has been getting progressively worse. Uugh...still the constipation is not bad enough to make me go off the Wellbutrin (however, I am trying to lower my dose).
