2 | Depression | I'm no longer taking this medication. | Wellbutrin caused me to feel in a fog and have bad eye focus. It didn't seem to help my depression, it only dampened my anxiety. I'm sure it works for some but was not for me. | F | 38 | 150 mg 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | Depression, anxiety, low libido | I'm no longer taking this medication. I switched to Prozac due to weight loss and unpleasant symptoms on Wellbutrin. I now take Strattera. | F | 23 | 200, 400 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | Depression | I'm no longer taking this medication. | I think a side effect that lasts after you stop taking it, for me, is sexual dysfunction, can't feel stimulation normally. Nobody talks about that part. It's a very frustrating experience. I'm thankful for a very understanding and patient husband of 4 years now. | F | 58 | ? Can�dn 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 2 | Depression | Extreme headache and nausea | F | 75 | 3 weeks 100 mg 2X day | 1/30/2024 | 1 | Smoking cessation | Extreme anxiety, panick attacks, dizziness, brain fog, derealization, blurred vision. | Sides kept getting worse. Stopped after 12th day. 3 days off and sides are finally getting better. It's gradual but each day is noticeably better than the last. | M | 53 | 12 days 150mg 1X day | 11/10/2023 | 1 | Depression | SUICIDAL IDEATION | Suicidal thoughts began within the first week of taking this drug. A voice in my head was saying "Why don't I just kill myself?", "You should just kill yourself", etc. This happened every day! Since I never had such terrible thoughts before, I figured it must be the new drug and stopped immediately. The thoughts went away and never came back. USER BEWARE! | F | 50 | 2 weeks 150 mg 1X day | 7/9/2023 | 1 | depression, adhd alternative trtmt. | hallucinations,psychosis,vivid dreams,serious cognitive difficulties, anxiety | Dangerous, ruin or change your life type of crutch. Little known fact chemically it is exactly a "designer drug" circa 2013. Only take it if you really need to quit smoking (fast) and becoming sad during withdrawal or maybe for recurrent, ongoing melancholic major depression (actually quite rare) to getting out of bed, but it sure can bring a basket of disaster if you combine this with anything other than food. | M | 23 | 1 years 150 1X day | 3/3/2023 | 3 | anxiety disorder | I was taking escitalopram for two years and my psychiatrist change to bup (Lexapro destroyed my sexual life!) and I fell like my heart increased frequency with brupropion but not its only a fake sensation and I'm still waiting for sexual desire.. | F | 34 | 15 days 150mg 1X day | 10/28/2022 | 4 | Depression and Anxiety | Loss of Appetite, Feeling full after a few bites of food. Minor headaches that lasted a few minutes, Went away on its own quickly & only happened sometimes. Increased sexual desire & drive | I've been on Wellbutrin for about 3-4 weeks now & it's definitely helped me feel less on edge all the time. It's helped me also lose weight lol , curbing my appetite & making me a little nauseous here & there NOW 3 weeks later, but it's alright lol. It's not debilitating for me, it's just a little annoying sometimes. Make sure you eat sometime before taking it if you're a nauseous person lol & stay hydrated! :) | F | 22 | 22 days 75 2X day | 7/1/2022 | 1 | Stop smoking | Terrible tingling in arms. | F | 56 | 3 weeks 150mg 1X day | 6/25/2022 | 4 | Depression and General anxiety disorder | No side effects from this medication. Highten my sex drive intially. | Has helped take the edge off my depression and anxiety while taking vitamins. | F | 33 | 48 months 300mg 1X day | 4/22/2022 | 5 | Bipo2 , depression | at first the anxiety got worse so I got panic attacks. fortunately, the doctor prescribed benzo. | This medicine gave my life back! | F | 31 | 3 months 150 1X day | 3/31/2022 | 5 | To stop smoking | Bad stomach pain, felt tired, bad headache that advil wouldn't touch, on the fourth day was going to stop taking it, but that day headache started to lift, didn't completely stop, but over the week each day got better until no more headche, lack of appetite | After side effects were gone I felt normal for the first time in my life. I had no craving to smoke, I felt full for the first time in my life no cravings for sugar, carbs, no junk food what so ever. Before I stayed hungry all the time. Would wake up at 5 am feeling rested. Before never felt rested. Started cleaning my house and a junk room little by little. Before had to talk myself into cleaning and would put it off over and over. Went shopping for the first time that I didn't just have to. Just felt normal. It gets better and better each day. Very focused for the first time with a feeling of felling of it's going to be OK. I wish I would of found this med. a long time ago, but I'm grateful that I have found it! It does make me want to live a healthier life. | F | 55 | 1 months 150mg 2X day | 10/24/2021 | 5 | Panic Disorder and Anxiety | I had nausea and drowsiness for the first 2 weeks and then again when my cycle would start. | I got a Genesight test done to verify what I was taking was appropriate for my genes. I've tried 9 SSRIs which made things worse so my Dr. suggested trying Wellbutrin since it's different. It's been a God send! I'm focused and I'm calm. It's been 10 months and I can do things I used to not do and I have more confidence. | F | 34 | 10 months 75mg 1X day | 8/10/2021 | 1 | Depression | Irritable first few days. | I may as well taken a placebo. Did nothing. When I stopped, from 300mg to zero in one day, no problem whatever. Miracle drug my ass | M | 57 | 8 months 300mg 1X day | 7/22/2021 | 3 | Depression | Hyper focus, nausea, nighttime muscle and joint aches, feeling like ants are on my skin for no reason | Cut down to smallest dose possible. 75mg cut in half to 25mg twice a day. Made me productive and positive but pain and skin crawling continued. But less suicidal | F | 34 | 4 months 25 | 7/16/2021 | 5 | Adult ADHD | Weight loss, appetite suppression, minor insomnia, dry mouth (faded after 2 weeks of use). | This medication improved my energy levels and leveled out my mood, which is what I wanted it for. Because I was dealing with binge eating disorder, the appetite suppression was actually welcome for me, as it allowed me to reestablish my relationship with food. I don't think I would have lost weight (20lbs) if that hadn't been the case, so don't let that stop you. Insomnia on this low dosage is very minor for me, so much so that I wouldn't even call it insomnia. I used to be an amazing, dead to the world sleeper, and now I can't sleep in quite as long and I sleep lighter. Overall, I recommend trying this medication! My gp eased me into it—75mg/day, then 75mg twice/day, then 150 mg once/day. I tried 300 mg and the insomnia was too bad for me to continue. | F | 23 | 8 months 150mg XL 1X day | 6/7/2021 | 1 | stress anxiety | caused me permanent sexual dysfunction and anhedonia after just 14 days of use. Body numb, no reward, no emotion. Destroyed my life, disabled in bed 4,5 years now. | not safe for permanent sexual dysfunction and anhedonia even if falsely marketed so. I have seen tens of cases of really bad damage over the years I have been disabled myself | M | 47 | 14 days 300 1X day | 5/12/2021 | 1 | I dont know | Irritability insomnia | M | 24 | 22 days 100 1X day | 4/10/2021 | 2 | Bipolar depression and Adult ADHD | Was taking this medication for depression and ADHD, but it just made me very anxious. It did not help with anxiety or ADHD. | F | 27 | 2 years 150 1X day | 4/2/2021 |
