    Yes it does , because poor energy levels and focus are often caused by low levels of dopamine in the brain. Wellbutrin fixes that long term ; it’s only important to stick to it for a year at least to really rep the benefits.
    Also , avoid drinking because it really reduces the efficiency & make sure you have healthy habits overall ☺️
    For me , it saved me from the worse seasonal depression I was going through every year 🙏🏻

    I don't know if I've had depression, but when I was 16-18 I used to have low energy + low motivation (mainly with studies), and I used to feel heavy physically although my BMI was within normal. Then after graduating highschool I was unable to pick a major, and I struggled for 2 years then switched my major from engineering to medicine, then I became stressed for a while and I went to a local GP and I was referred to a psychiatrist for evaluation for depression, and I was prescribed prozac 20mg and mirtazpine 30mg (and I guess I was very sensitive to those medications; and I had at least 1 conscious seizure, I stopped the medications myself, then 8 months later I feel no motivation to study [although I'm taking 9 credit hours only, electives]). I keep putting things to the last minute...
    *The low energy continued after 18 but was less pronounced. I'm 22 now.

      SSRI could have a side effect for men of not being able to obtain an erection, keep an erection, or obtain orgasm. If you can obtain orgasm, it often feels like you were hit in the head. Not painful, but numb and buzzing. You may have heard the saying, he had his bell rung. Not pleasurable at all. After you may feel nauseous.
