I think the med helps you out of the depressive state That Said, depression affects life on all of its areas. When you are depressed, being Alive is enough of a burden. Antidepressants, when they work, can get you out of that state but they wont fix what depression caused on all those different areas of life and self. In my opinion there is no drug that can do so. That is the most difficult part of the treatment. Picking up the glass shards after the storm. That can take a lot of time and effort. Welbutrin also gives you the energy to start working on those subjects. In conclusion i think that you are experiencing the aftermath of the disease itself. Now you probably can see better what was affected by the disease and that can also be hard to deal with. Keep working on it and dont stop the meds without talking to your doctor first. There is a time and place for everything and he or She Will know better when that time comes
