I take Wellbutrin and I’m not sure what it does for other people, but for me, it gives me a buffer of patience to draw from that I didn’t really have before. Negative or frustrating events don’t feel quite as urgent and I’m able to calmly move forward better than I can without it. Which is very helpful when you’re taking care of kids.

This has been my experience with citalopram as well. The negative side effect though is that natural highs are lower, so I view it very much as a mood stabilizer.

This is my experience, too. Bupropion (Wellbutrin) seems to dampen the spike of cortisol or adrenaline or something that I can get when something really irritates me. As a single father of two middle school age boys, it has helped a lot.

Btw, have you noticed exposure to sunlight to make you even more laid back? I've recently been casually tracking a correlation in that for myself.
