Summary
A long COVID patient posting in r/covidlonghaulers, he found coffee triggered migraines and brain fog, and even half a cup of ordinary decaf was enough; he described giving up coffee as the second hardest part of the condition. Switching to Swiss Water decaf, which he said leaves almost no caffeine, let him drink coffee again, and he reported having a pot or two a day at $10.99 a bag.

Normally I'm in the "never Wellbutrin" camp because the side effects tend to be worse than other options (at least in my experience).
