Wellbutrin is my friend. :-D
When I started it, I didn't notice any start up effects. The only thing I noticed was that, when I went up to 300mg after either one or two weeks, I started singing while I cooked breakfast. While that's a terrible side effect for my husband to put up with, it may not be quite as bad for you. :-}
While it's not great at controlling my depression and/or anxiety, it's still good. In fact, I would have stuck with just the Wellbutrin XL -- at 450mg -- if our marriage counselor hadn't "recommended" that I see a psychopharmacologist she knows. Now I've added Zoloft, and -- we'll see. The jury's definitely out on this one...
But Wellbutrin may have caused a few mild headaches, and I can't say it's ever been helpful for anxiety for me -- although it's easier to deal with anxiety when the edge is off my depression -- otherwise it's been the most side effect free drug I've ever taken. I can hardly tell I'm on anything at all, really, except that it's taking a big edge off my depression.
I hope that helps.
