 5  Smoking Cessation The only side effect I have is a feeling of calm. I just can't get angry about anything anymore, and that is good. I posted before I quit smoking and this will be a new post. I have been on Wellbutrin for six weeks and 2 days. My quit smoking date was December 7, and I am now 3 weeks and 2 days not smoking. I just can't believe quitting has been so easy for me. I can honestly say that I have no desire to smoke and really don't think too much about it anymore. I used to drink wine and smoke, but I have found that I don't even like wine anymore. I am so glad my doctor prescribed this for me. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have had no ill effects from Wellbutrin. F 68 6 weeks

I have been having quite a problem with acid reflx the past 3 days. Don't know if this is side effect of the Wellbutrin or not. F 67 5 days

 4  Depression, mainly in winter months Initially had severe night sweats with it but changed schedule and do not take it late at night anymore. When I ifrst took Wellbutrin, I took Brand Wellbutrin and it worked for me. When I lost my job and had no insurance, I could not afford the Brand, so I took a generic buproprion (Teva) and I had multiple TERRIBLE side effects with the GENERIC. If I had not had BRAND Wellbutrin before, I would have rated Wellbutrin as a terrible drug. I gave up the generic by Teva and so dd several of my friends, with the same reactions of inappropriate rage, short temper, panic attacks and strange dreams. I think this site should make a CLEAR distinction between Wellbutrin and generic Buproprion for purposes of reviewm and the Brand Wellbutrin and the various generics should be reviewed separately. I don't know if any other generic buproprion exists or would be better. There was no pharmacist in our entire city area that used anything BUT the Teva brand generic. I got the plain tablets, not extended release, because I do not always take the same dose. I start about Labor Day with 1 75 mg. tablet a day, going to 2 tablets as days get shorter and 3 tablets through the darkest days of winter. Oddly enough, although one would think it would be a stimulant, if I forget to take my suppertime dose, I slip into a comfortable insomnia and can stay on the computer most of the night. If I take the Wellbutrin at dinner as I am supposed to, somewhere around midnight my body just announces it is sleepy time and if I don't give in and go to bed, I will fall asleep at the computer.

 4  Seasonal Affective Disorder When I start experiencing a little insomnia, short temper and night sweats, I know it is time to start tapering off. This site is supposed to be for the direct release type, not the extended release, but it's all mixed in. I do think that it's a very good drug, but not when taken in excess. I think people might be happier if they started with a lower dose and raised it gradually until they felt normal, and then stay there. Since I take it only seasonally, I start taking 75 mg. a day in the fall when I start sliding into Seasonal Affective Disorder depression. By December I am up to 3 times a day (the most I ever take). By mid March I am tapering off, 2 on one day, 1 on the next day, then 2, alternating. By May I will be off it again until fall. F 66 90 days

 4  Depression, maybe SAD The samples of Wellbutrin XL worked fine, but I asked for a prescription for SR because it was $35 cheaper (and I don't have prescription insurance). The SR gave me sores in the corners of my mouth and up-and-down emotions, as well as insomnia. I went back to the XL and it seems to be working better. I had gained 25 lbs. in a year because of depression. After beginning Wellbutrin, I have gained another 12 lbs!! Sure do wish the F 66 3.5 months

 3  Depression Dry mouth. Very bad Insomnia. Vivid memorable dreams. Improved memory. Wired energy at night, with bouts of fatigue during the day. Is taking the edge off the depression, but too early to tell how effective it is. Will give it time, but there sure are a lot of negative reviews out there... M 64 12 days

 3  Social phobia/anxiety Dizziness, headache, stupidness, feelings of fear. Woke up in middle of night terrified someone might get in to my house (rediculous). Too affraid to get out of bed. Feel like my eyes are coming loose (I know... this is nutsville). I am definitely just not right. I have NEVER had a reaction this strong to an antidepressant. Help me, I'm going crazy! I have only been taking the drug for three days. Was taking Selexa before and it made me too tired and lethargic. I'm going to hang in there for a few days. Good thing I don't work because I'm feeling so unsure of myself. F 63 3 days

 2  depression minimal side effects; however i started at a low dosage of 1/4 of 150mg for 4 days then to 1/2, and so on..... At 150mg two times daily of SR for 3 weeks there are no side effects and correspondingly, no beneficial effects of any kind. For me this has been a disappointing experiment....... M 63 3 weeks
