 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

 3  Depression I am getting heart palpitations and racing heartbeat. My appetite is less and was sick to my stomach today. I have seen a positive change in my attitude and energy levels. I was able to close more deals at work due to my positive attitude and felt more social. The downside so far has been the heart palpitations. I have terrible anxiety and I get panic attacks when I think I am in danger medically and with these heart palpitations I think I am having a heart attack. Very hard to relax and not getting good sleep. Hoping to be able to stick this out. F 28 5 days

 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

 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

 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

 4  Depression Cons: Sweating more than usual, irritable and more emotional for the first couple of weeks but gradually that part's gotten better. Random flashes of anxiety about my health in particular, occasionally staying up all night reading webmd and convincing myself that I have some deadly disease. Bad hangovers when I drink with it, even if only a few beers. Weird sleep schedule. Pros: I do feel more positive in general and less of the sense of hopelessness that my depression always caused. basically quit smoking, on the days I have a cigarette it's like one a day. Weight loss (5 pounds in a month). More energy, more motivation. Getting along better with people. More sociable. Less sugar cravings. Not feeling like I need to smoke weed 24/7 (which is a big one for me) The only side effect that really bothers me is the anxiety, I was already kinda a hypochondriac and this seems to make it worse. Thought about asking the Dr for anti anxiety meds but I am also anxious about taking those bc I'm scared I'll get addicted. Overall though the Wellbutrin has been helpful and I intend to keep taking it F 27 1 months

 5  Major Depression Not sure if these are related to the medication but on day 1 and 2 I had extreme leg pain but haven't felt discomfort since. I've had a slight headache each day since taking it but everyone around me is having sinus issues due to the weather so it may not be related to wellbutrin. I did have to take pseudo ephedrine to help my stuffy head on day 3 I notice slight constipation but definitely not as bad as I was on Tramadol. A metal like taste in my mouth, decreased appetite (the best side effect ever!) I've had stomach cramping on and off but nothing worth noting. 13 years ago, I was on effexor for approx. 1 year. I was tired, achy, unmotivated etc... I was a mess and effexor only kept me from wanting to kill myself. One day my coworker gave me Tramadol and from that moment and 13 years on, my life was transformed. Tramadol allowed me to get off Effexor and live a happy and productive life. Tramadol was my MIRACLE drug. It cures my depression, fatigue, concentration/focus, anxiety/motivation. Tramadol makes me WANT to work and WANT to do things. Since the feds have decided to target Tramadol, my insurance has made it difficult to fill. I was forced to seek an alternative. 2 months after I stopped taking my Tramadol I started to experience depression and anxiety. Everything started to stress me. On tramadol, the world could be on fire and I'd remain positive. My depression slowly started to creep up on me. I knew I had to get back on antidepressants. I started to research antidepressants that give energy and I stumbled on wellbutrin. Today is day 5 and although it can't hold a candle to Tramadol, I have to say it's a great alternative. I take Kratom along with my wellbutrin. Kratom alone didn't seem to do much but now that I take wellbutrin, WOW! As of yesterday, day 4, I've felt alert and calm/happy. I got a lot of work done yesterday, something that only happens when I take tramadol. My brain fog is gone, i can focus on my tasks and the things I'm too lazy to do get done. I hope this continues!

 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

 4  Depression Weird dreams, weight gain, blurred vision Took 150mg for a year and a half. Weird dreams, trouble sleeping, and blurred vision slowly went away after six months. Now upped to 300mg, depression getting better, but gaining weight and extra hungry all the time. Blurred vision still and weird dreams increased again slightly but not as bad as they were when I first started taking it. F 29 2 months

 4  Depression Since I’ve started taking Wellbutrin my stomach is more sensitive to smells and other things (I do a lot of gagging, I work at a daycare & things that use to not bother me now cause me to gag) I’m on my second bottle and I noticed my period was a few days late which I’m not active so I know it’s not pregnancy, I think the medicine just has been messing with my hormones 🤷🏻‍♀️ When I started taking it I felt like my mind was so clear, but I also felt extremely tired at the same time F 26 2 months

 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
