I remember an old article from Salon magazine commenting on this sort of thing. Specifically, Cintra Wilson writes:
"My first few weeks on Wellbutrin were like the rocketing ascendancy of the retarded guy in Flowers for Algernon. Dogs had complex and colorful personalities. I read and memorized obscure dates in thick textbooks. My sex drive blasted through the roof, and even though I didn't climax every time I sneezed, my entire body was a joyously attuned erogenous zone. I woke up each morning with a list of productive things to do in my head and accomplished them. I walked around like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, braying popular show tunes, clicking my heels, and sweeping old women off the sidewalk in order to ply them with open-mouthed kisses. "There oughta be a law against how good I feel!" I crowed merrily out of the blue in supermarkets and post offices ... "
Well, otherwise her experience with it was apparently not great. The article as a whole, though, made me spit my coffee onto my computer, ruining my spacebar, and forcing me to by another keyboard.
