| 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 | 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 | 1 | Stop smoking | Terrible tingling in arms. | F | 56 | 3 weeks 150mg 1X day | 6/25/2022 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Anxiety depression | I had worse anxiety, insomnia. Bad thoughts, nausea,extreme weight loss. Ringing in ears, racing heart, dry mouth ,headache , having to pee constantly, constipation, hand would constantly shake. | I personally will never take this again. And would advise people to be careful with it the side effects are awe full and scary. | F | 43 | 3 weeks 200mg 2X day | 3/15/2021 | 1 | Bipolar 2 severe anxiety and depres | Smoking slowed down, loss of appetite but no weight loss. | It worked well, for a while... Then I hit a deep depression in September. My doctor and I talked about it and we decided to try going up on the dosage, from 150mg once a day to twice a day. I had a nervous breakdown and wanted to commit suicide in less than a week and ended up in the psych hospital. I was weaned off of it and put on geodon. I'm responding extremely well to geodon and feel great. Wellbutrin almost killed me. | F | 44 | 1 years 150mg 2X day | 11/11/2020 | 1 | Major Depressive Disorder | Increase in depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia, increase in suicidal thoughts and actions, irritability, mood swings | I had switched from fluoxetine to wellbutrin due to my body becoming used to the medication. But within the first 2 weeks my depression spiked and I had thoughts of suicide at least once a day, and sadly acted on them for about a week straight. Normally I would eat at least 2 meals a day, with the occasional snack, but this pill made my stomach practically regect any form of solid food. I had to drink ensure just to keep my nutrients up. My low energy was so bad that I had to sit down while at work just so I wouldn't black out. If you have any mild form of autism I would strongly suggest not to take this pill. If I had known my side effects from going off the pill would be better than while on, I would've stopped taking it after my second week. My depression and irritability became so bad that even my coworkers noticed. It's now been a few days since I stopped and, wether it is in my mind or not, I've felt increasingly better! I haven't had any low drops in my depression and I haven't wanted to act on any thoughts, let alone have them! I will 100% be letting my doctor know that this one is a strong no. Hopefully this helps others when they are thinking of switching their medication to this. | F | 22 | 45 days 150MG 1X day | 9/14/2020 | 1 | Anxiety | Trouble falling asleep. Waking up gasping as I'm just starting to fall asleep is scaring me. I'm not going to take it anymore. | F | 30 | 14 days 70mg 1X day | 8/25/2020 | 1 | BPD | I space out, heart races. ( I already have heart problems) | F | 25 | 100 days 300 1X day | 8/11/2020 | 1 | To help with depression | If you ever switch from Paxil to Wellbutrin get ready for some serious withdrawals. Paxil fixed my depression but made me a zombie. Wellbutrin has not helped with my depression. If anything, more depression and emotional turmoil. There have been a few panic attacks and anxiety has definitely increased. Severe mood swings. The only positives are losing twenty pounds and my sex drive is off the chain. | F | 41 | 6 months 150 mg 2X day | 7/5/2020 | 1 | Anxiety depression | I have never been suicidal in my life until I took this drug I don't recommend it at all I was hospitalized and everything because of the thoughts | F | 37 | 2 months 300 | 6/2/2020 | 1 | Depression | Wellbutrin XL Users Filing Class Action in 2020: I took Wellbutrin XL for only 5 days. I soon developed odd patches on my skin resembling abrasions and pinpoint bleeding. I developed severe itching, primarily at night, that lasted for a month-and-a-half. Now, a full three months later, my skin still exhibits markedly slower healing from cuts and abrasions. If you have had skin problems and/or itching as a result of taking Wellbutrin XL (also called Bupropion XR) and would like to add your name to a Class Action suit against the makers of it, please email me at [email protected]. Put the word “itching” in the subject line. I had to organize a Class Action suit against a major US automaker in 2010 and succeeded. We will get results. | M | 59 | 5 days 150 1X day | 11/23/2019 | 1 | my doctor diagnosed me as depressed | I was diagnosed as depressed even though I told Dr. Anthony that I was not. I went to doctor for extreme anxiety.He would not listen. | I cannot stay on this med for two weeks without anger issues that turn into tears then right back into anger. If I decrease I get very down, if I increase I get a lump in my throat, heart beat in my ears and mind racing. I find myself unable to focus. I don't smile or laugh anymore.Dr Anthony added buspiron for anxiety, it does nothing but Dr will not listen. | F | 57 | 6 months 150mg | 6/12/2017 | 1 | Depression & Bi Polar disorder | EXTREME anger. I was a "High Strung" person anyway when the Dr put me on it...Under a TREMENDOUS amount of stress. I would have beat a person to death had I not been stopped by 2 other people and not even known what I was doing. The person I beat was a great source of irritation to me and had caused me much agitation for many years. I had never gone beyond cursing anyone prior to taking Wellbutrin. I immediately stopped taking it a few days after this upon reading that it could cause anger. I stopped Wellbutrin and the problem went away. I now take Prozac 60 Mg and Lamictal 300Mg daily and doing good. | From my experience a patient should be VERY CLOSELY screened before taking it and monitored closely after starting it...BAD STUFF!!! | M | 50 | 1.5 months 60mg 1X day | 4/24/2017 | 1 | Sexual dysfunction and depression | Shook so bad in hands. | F | 35 | 5 days | 2/9/2017 |
