Thanks Robert. I do have had some depression & mostly anxiety since being on Elagard.
I have been off it since July.
However anxiety is still there especially in the morning. I have tried several ssri’s however they haven’t worked. I will ask my doctor about Wellbutrin. I have read it can take up to a year for adt to clear your system. However I don’t know if that is 100% accurate. Thanks for the post.

I am on Wellbutrin. I asked both my Internist (who has many patients on it) and my psychiatrist (who initially prescribed it for me) and they said the effects of Wellbutrin on your body should clear in around 1-2 months following stoppage of the medication. That is, if the depression is going to return following cessation of the drug, It is normally seen within 2 months. Both also said there is no tapering period like some drugs; you just stop it.
