Anyone take Wellbutrin?

I have been taking Wellbutrin since the day after DS was born.  I have been on it before.

DS is almost 3 weeks and I don't feel better.  I cry every single day & am really anxious that I can barely sleep.  I know it takes time . . . I'm just ready to feel better.

I don't know if it's not working yet  . . . or a scary thought - that it is working and I would be even worse if I wasn't taking it.

I'm just wondering if I still need to give it time, or try something else?

TIA

    after 3 weeks i'd ask for a dosage increase or a new med, regardless of what it was.  i took wellbutrin after trying 2 other drugs first, and ended up needing a higher dosage than the lowest one.

    Wellbutrin can also increase anxiety so if that is an issue you may want to switch.

    Wellbutrin worked for me before DS, but not after. I recently switched to Celexa.

    Sometimes Wellbutrin works better in combination with an SSRI like Zoloft.  I'd talk to your psych.
