So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits

So it's basically the same as Prozac? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

If you have depression anxiety and find that Prozac (an ssri) doesnt work well, you might consider something that directly works on dopamine - like Buproprion (brand name = wellbutrin, a NDRI, norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor).

This is obviously anecdotal, but fuck Wellbutrin. It didn't help, and it triggered tinnitus, which didn't go away after I stopped taking it. Still happening 2 years later. I'm one of the lucky 3-6% Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Iโ€™m sorry you experienced that. Personally I love Wellbutrin.
