Wellbutrin helped me a ton until it didn't. If you're having a lot of pain with fibro, ask about cymbalta. Cymbalta is used for depression and anxiety but helps with nerve/bone pain. First 2 weeks suck but after that it made a huge difference in my pain and mental state

Just a word of caution. Once you get to doses of 150 mgs or higher it can cause seizures. It's even worse for people who have seizure disorders and epilepsy.

I had similar side effects to Prozac after taking it for nearly 3 years, but if you’re having those effects already your psych will probably want to have you try something else.
