Some of the side effects that can occur with bupropion may not need medical attention. As your body adjusts to the medicine during treatment these side effects may go away. Your health care professional may also be able to tell you about ways to reduce or prevent some of these side effects

I'm with you. all this trial and error seems to be too much. I read a lot about my scripts too which makes me turn them down or dwell on problems thinking too much about them. With any of these drugs its smart to taper off rather than going cold turkey.

Did you try tapering up slowly to your old dose?  Not that trying natural stuff is a bad idea, but it's hard to do correctly and as with anything else takes a lot of work and there's no guarantee it'll work.  But if you're interested, a good book is Natural Highs by Hyla Cass, a psychiatrist at UCLA who uses natural medicine in her practice.
