I am 55 yr old male with high BP, Some joint degeneration, high cholesterol. I have been on Zocor for 40 plus days. When I first started taking it, within hours of dosage I had mild headache, sinus stuffiness. Within days I had higher energy levels, less joint pain, and sleep better. My physical stamina has increased and I am able to be much more active with less physical stress and faster subsequent recovery. Follow up tests show my cholesterol dropped from 230 to 160. Continuing adverse side effects are mild burning sensation in back of throat about 1 hour after dosage and lasting about an hour. Change in taste. Both of these I can live with given the positive side effects and intended effect. Follow up tests have so far shown no impariment in liver function.

I really appreciated the way Wellbutrin worked for me. It helped increase my sexual desire (which was seriously lacking with my depression) and gave me energy. The first 3-7 days I had some problems with very minor hallucinations (though I suppose any hallucinations can be minor). I had to go off it though because of the tremors. My chin would shake/clench and even my little ones would notice my hands shake (especially when eating or drinking). I am on another form of anti-depression medicine now and it works well, but the good side effects of the Wellbutrin (higher energy level, increased sex drive, not feeling hungry) are all gone except for the anti-depression. Too bad there isn't something else you can take to get rid of the tremors while on Wellbutrin.
