| 5 | Depression, Smoking, Weight Loss | Confusion, Dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, weird taste in mouth, increased thirst, constipation, Face flushing | I was on this a few years ago with Effexor and did great. I am back on it again doing the generic of 300 mg a day. I have not quit smoking but cut down a lot, I've not lost a lot of weight yet either. I do have a habit of having edgy days but for the most part I am pretty mellow. The things that I used to rage at no longer bother me and I feel more "reasonable" on it. I would like to hear from other people who have been on it a month or longer to see if the desire to stop smoking will increase as well as the loss of appetite. | 30 | 35 days | 10/18/2006 | 5 | PTSD | Pros; high sex drive, motivated, energized, alert, more social and happy and courageous, lost weight. Cons: anxiety, irritable, headaches, short-tempered. Can not tolerate alcohol Side effects take a couples months to subside. To manage my initial side - effects. I took it at night w gabapentin for about a month. Give it chance. It really works | Benefits by far outweigh the side-effects. It works well with gabepentin for anxiety. Also works well with Cbd. I still cannot drink while on Wellbutrin-it will make you so sick This has been a miracle drug for me! I have tried so many other anti- depressants to no avail. | 50 | 12 months 150mg | 2/13/2019 | 4 | Depression | Major headaches | Other than the headaches, I loved this medication. I stopped taking it after about 8 days due to the headaches. I'm considering taking it again to see if the headaches pass over time. Anyone get headaches for the first week or two and then they went away??? I'd love to hear from anyone experiencing this. Thanks | 37 | 8 days | 4/17/2006 | 4 | depression | Wild and vivid dreams were the first noticable effects.I believe this inadvertently caused a mild case of insomnia. An increase in an already healthy libido. (My poor wife who has no libido is feeling left out). Some loss of appetite also. | I have never been on anti depressants before. Mine is not a severe case , just an aggravating period on my life.I have only been on 150 mg. for 13 days and I hope these side effects subside. The wild dreams are a pain in the butt and the increased libido is wild. I already had a crazy one to begin with, now I'm off the charts.Will these side effects decrease? I am suppose to double up on the dosage in a couple of days and who knows what is going to happen. I'm gonna try to enjoy the ride. By the way my depression seems to be improving. I have slowed down and I feel its easier to get through the day. I am just curious about these side effects. | 55 | 13 days | 3/5/2007 | 4 | Mild Depression | itchy skin | I started taking Wellbutrin after Zoloft stopped working. I also had gained 30 lbs while on zoloft. Have lost 10 lbs since the switch. | 35 | 3 weeks | 5/3/2004 | 4 | | 5/7/2004 | 4 | depression | Sleeplesadness increased hunger..shaky hand | Sense of wellbeing. | 67 | 1 days | 12/19/2014 | 4 | 1X day | 2/3/2015 | 4 | major depression, ssri issues | 1 days | 4/12/2016 | 3 | | 8/11/2003 | 3 | 1X day | 3/4/2018 | 2 | headaches, head pressure (as if my brain was being squeezed), irritability, negativity, fatigue, increased libido and sensitivity for the 1st 3 days and then slight decrease today. also noticed a heavier depression when drinking | First day was like a stimulating coke high w/out all the extraneous nonsense (i.e. drips, making brunch plans with losers you've never met). I was smiling, laughing, yapping away, complimenting everyone and had a bright and beautiful outlook on the future. The next day, the excitement died, like an inevitable come down. Very aggravating since I was so excited about the initial effects. My prolific doctor girlfriend says I need to stick it out for at least a month. That the side effects will subside and the drug will kick in. I'll give this bullshit 3 more weeks, and if i'm not singing to the moon and laughing at garbage cans, i go back to fish oil, exercise, and percaset champagne. | 4 days | 6/30/2005 | 2 | to add to other axenity/depression | did nothing for daytime depression. made me a little jittery otherwise id say no effect or side effects | waste of money. il stick with remeron and xanax | 49 | 65 days 150 | 6/12/2019 | 2 | Anxiety/depression | Hallucinations. When trying to sleep I feel like I hear conversations going on but Boone’s home | 2 days 300mg | 1/10/2018 | 1 | *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***75mg/2x daily***~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* felt like bugs crawling all over my skin. auditory hallucinations. Unable to perform any task that required concentration. Extreme insomnia. Heart palapitations. Loss of appetite. Loss of short term memory. Can't taste food. Quit smoking. Headaches that would last for days and days. Developed rash on face. it comes and goes. Felt disconnected from my body. BREAST TENDERNESS. Paranoia. I was very scared to be alone in my apartment (I have a giant window and i was deathly afraid of it-at night). Mood swings. The stuff made me feel crazy. Increased sexual desire and increased sexual sensitivity. Caused vivid dreams. The pros just didnt outweigh the cons for me. | 26 | 2 weeks | 10/18/2006 | 1 | adhd | just started to take it | 6 | 1 weeks 30 1X day | 1/7/2013 | 5 | Clinical severe depression | The best side effect of all: relief from clinical major double depression (severe depression and dysthymia). An activating drug, which was perfect for me as I was previously too tired to do anything. After I started taking it, I actually wanted to get out of the house. It was my own personal miracle. | I pay cold hard cash for brand name as I believe generic in this drug is not as effective, and I have no interest in risking it. It's the only drug that has worked for me, and I've felt normal for years. But I will never, ever forget the absolute and complete dreadful misery of depression. I don't ever want to go back to feeling that way again, and I will never take this medication for granted. Thank god for Wellbutrin. | F | 45 | 12 years 450 1X day | 8/31/2012 | 5 | stop smoking | Nausea..vomiting ...lightheaded ...dizzy...kind of a floating feeling...sleepy...no appetite ...and no desire to smoke.

I seek out others to converse with at work more. I am very happy with it and I'm glad its working positively for me so far. | F | 32 | 1 weeks 150 1X day | 11/8/2012 | 5 | Depression, extreme Fatigue | Anxiety, insomnia, increased sex drive, decreased appetite, shortness of breath, heart palpitations.
