6. Meds are different for each individual.

It's really hard to deduce whether or not a drug is going to be ok for someone because it was or was not ok for someone else.

That said, MY experience with welbutron off and on for more years than I'd like to admit has all been pretty side effect free. Pretty amazing since if there is an obscure side effect to a drug to be had, I'll usually have it.

My worst experiences with it have been when I decided I didn't need it and quit either via tapering or (shudder)cold turkey. NOT advisable.

Went back on a year or so ago, I don't plan to ever be stupid enough to try and quit again.

My suggestion is he takes it in the morning if he's having trouble sleeping. But always ask your doctor or pharmacist.
