Hi Amy,
I concurr with Cam wholeheartedly. For the first 3 weeks of being on Wellbutrin I was nauseous, had booming headaches, sharp stomach aches and intense feelings of depression pretty much ALL DAY. I very nearly gave up as it was extremely difficult to bear. However, I persisted and after 4 weeks these symptoms began to alleviate and now, 12 or so weeks in, my mood stays "good" for 80-90% of the time. It took 2 months to fully kick in for me. Ok, I still have stomach aches a lot of the time and a lot of anxiety but it's immeasurably better than feeling sickeningly low. I'd strongly advise your son to persist for at least another 2 weeks. I've not felt this normal/good/not-ultra-low for over 7 years.
HTH,
pete.
