| 3 | depression/adhd | nausea, increased anxiety and panic attacks, weight loss, eye twitches, high blood pressure | I feel less irritable and cranky and generally more pleasant. But I am much more anxious and these side effects only increase my anxiety levels. I have really high BP and that worries me. It is helping somewhat with the ADHD but not as much as I'd like. I took Strattera a few years back and that seemed to work a lot better with the ADHD. | F | 25 | 3 months | 8/13/2007 | 2 | no motivation, no real happiness | The first few days I felt a little more awake, I'm also on Klonopin for sleep anxiety. I got bumped up to 300mg and I accidently took a second a few hours later thinking it was a vitamin. Right now my head feels half numb and there is no emotion in my body that I can detect whatsoever. I'm pretty sure anti depressents aren't supposed to do that during the first week of usage. | there was ONE day where I felt it working and it was like a euphoric rush of energy and the desire to converse. so it's worked once in i think it's been two weeks? | M | 25 | 2 weeks | 4/17/2008 | 2 | stop smoking,depression | i have been on WB for 15 days now and felt nothing nor have the urge to quit smoking. i think i am going back to taaking lexapro that helped a enourmous amount!!!!!!! | F | 25 | 15 days | 4/28/2007 | 1 | Severe Depression | vicious amount of adrenalyn running through my body almost all of the time, absolutely no appetite, severe anxiety, and unable to sleep more than a couple of hours a night. | This drug turned me into a jittering mess, i had an incredible amount of energy and it was not good, it made me shake and uncomfortable all the time and also severely increased my anxiety. Not even for the love of God could I get myself to relax, I felt like I was on coke or speed all the time. Eating made me feel like puking, I couldn't eat more than a spoonful or two a day and had no appetite at all. I also could not get to sleep, and was never tired! I guess it's a good drug if you wanna lose weight and get a lot of work done, but people are going to think you're an addict because you wont be able to disguise your anxiety. Apparently this drug messes with your adrenalyn levels so that explains the massive energy all the time. | F | 25 | 8 days 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | Anxiety/depression/panic disorder | When i first started taking the medication it would feel like i was high, i had no emotions and worsened panic attacks, i figured i would give it some more time for my body to get used to and what a mistake that was, now im having 4 or 5 panic attacks a day, irregular heartbeat, night terrors, im having bad thoughts about my son and husband being hurt and yesterday while driving down the road the thought popped into my head that i wanted to drive my suv into a swamp.. When i was on prozac i had never had a thought like that I would not recommened anyone to take this med. the side effects are scary!! | F | 25 | 40 days 150mg 1X day | 3/10/2011 | 1 | Depression Bipolar I | headaches, weight gain, suicidal thoughts, made me feel dark and lonely, actually made me smoke more than normal. | I started taking 300mg twice a day as a round of medications. When I first started taking it I could get over the side effects. I was fine until one day my thoughts got dark really dark. So dark that I woke up one day and decided that the only solution to life was to kill myself. I have ALOT to live for ( great kids mother and husband) so I knew it had to be something. Since this was the last thing I started taking I stopped had alittle bit of withdraw but the thoughts went away. | F | 25 | 4 months | 12/4/2007 | 1 | Anxiety, depression | HORRIBLE INSOMMNIA!Extreme moodswings,crying uncontrollably, wanting to die,anorexia | Wellbutrin pushed me into full-on mania. I have never exprienced anything like it before. I didn't sleep for three days and still had energy. I crashed after that and yet I still could not sleep. Dangerous drug. Make sure your doc starts you off on the lowest dosage possible and that there is no chance you might have bipolar disorder. This drug was intense and scary. | F | 25 | 15 days | 8/15/2007 | 1 | Depression | Seizures and suicidal thoughts. Always walking around in a fog | I believe this drug is horrible and should be pulled off the shelf | F | 25 | 8 months 20 | 5/6/2016 | 1 | BPD | I space out, heart races. ( I already have heart problems) | F | 25 | 100 days 300 1X day | 8/11/2020 | 5 | Severe Depression/ Severe Anxiety | Difficulty falling, staying asleep. fast heartbeat (comes and goes). | I recently posted on March 25th, Now I am 9 days into taking my medicine, and am already feeling great, aside from not having ANY panic attacks, My nausea is gone, my appetite is back (I didn't luck out there)...hehehe. But I still have some difficulties falling/staying asleep, but it is slowly improving. As i said in my previous post, I take 150 mg of Wellbutrin xl a day, along with my other meds. I do recommend this medicine, and I would say that I am VERY surprised that I feel better already and so soon. Also, I wanted to say good luck to everyone who goes through these types of things in their lives, it is hard, I know firsthand, but keep trying if this isn't right for you, You WILL find the right medicine. God bless everyone, and you are stronger for having endured what you have. | F | 26 | 9 days | 3/29/2007 | 5 | depression | I'm taking 400mg/day (200mg SR X 2). I sometimes experience insomnia, but not that badly or frequently. I also have very very faint little muscle twitches in my arms and legs when I'm sitting still. Not that noticeable at all, just kind of strange. increased sex drive (not a bad side effect at all). That's it. | This drug is a miracle for me. I'm not depressed at all anymore and I have very few side effects; no anxiety or anything like a lot of people have experienced on it. My sex drive is also really high, but it was pretty high before anyway. I don't think I'll hear any complaints about that! | F | 26 | 10 months | 2/12/2007 | 5 | smoking cessation | I would only get about 4 or 5 hours of sleep each night, but I always felt well rested and energized. Sometimes my head felt "fuzzy", but for the most part I was a cheerier more relaxed person. I also experienced a lack of appetite. | Never in a million years would I have believed that I could quit smoking! I went from a pack a day to nothing within a few days (cigarettes started tasting funny). I've been smoke free for a month. Plus I have lost 10 lbs, and my house has never been cleaner, as the medication makes me feel focused and full of energy. | M | 26 | 2 months | 9/27/2007 | 5 | Depression | vomitting, headache, racing heart, anxiety | All the side effects went away after seven days on it. I feel so much better, i can actually get out of bed in the morning. Energy levels are way up. If you can make it through the first week, its smooth sailing!!! | F | 26 | 2 weeks | 2/18/2008 | 5 | Depression | When I started bupropion in addition to the fluoxetine I'd been on, within 2 days I had side effects of chattering teeth (no chilled feelings though), general shakiness (handwriting got terrible), pretty significant loss of appetite, and worsened my already present insomnia. Also, my eyes would randomly become dialated as if I was high as a kite. It was a lot of weird side effects, but they did go away after a couple weeks. I find that the medication is worth it, it did a great job of regulating me and I feel like I was let of tiny cage ever since it kicked in, it's awesome to feel human again. | F | 26 | 10 months 150mg 2x d | 6/29/2014 | 5 | Depression, extreme Fatigue | Anxiety, insomnia, increased sex drive, decreased appetite, shortness of breath, heart palpitations. These side effects are mild and for the first time in 6 years I finally have the motivation and energy I need to get through the day. I'm happier and the increased sex drive was a wonderful side effect. | F | 26 | 2 weeks 300 mg | 1/15/2013 | 5 | seasonal depression | come and go headaches and drowsiness the first couple of days (could have been PMS), feeling a little hyper and a little spacey. anxiety/panic attacks but not enough to quit | i have only been on it a week, 7 days of 150 XL and 2 days of 300 XL. my mood seems sunnier, i seem to focus and be more motivated at work. appeitite supressed a little. first couple of days were rough but i am starting to like it more and more. i have waves of feeling "cracked out" like drinking too much coffee, but it comes and goes thru the day. | F | 26 | 8 days | 11/29/2006 | 5 | Depression/ADD | Loss of nicotine cravings, slight loss of appetite, increased sex drive | I love this medicine! I feel better; I feel like I have had a huge weight lifted of of me. I don't sit around just worring about everything all the time. I have more energy to play with my kids. I am able to stay awake all day, and it doesn't affect going to sleep at night at all. My concentration is greatly increased. I don't seem to be dazed all the time anymore. My husband is very happy with certain side effects also. I really can't say anything negative. | F | 26 | 7 weeks | 3/21/2007 | 5 | Mild Depression, Smoking | Headaches (pretty mild, yet constant), loss of apetite, cigarette dependacy dropped alot, and for some reason, I play much better cards now. | I've been taking Wellbutrin for 4 days now, and already notice a couple things, some good, some bad. As the side effects say, the constant headache is on the top of the list. The loss of apetite is nice, not that I'm overweight, but I do like to eat sweet stuff, and that's gone as of 3 days ago. Cigarette smoking is already down to a minimum. No problems sleeping, way more productive, at home and work. If the side effects don't leave soon then I'll probably ditch the pills after a month. And just use them to get off smokes. I didn't get a perscription for them since I live in Honduras, and you don't need one, just walk up and pay the 70 bux. | M | 26 | 4 days | 1/24/2007 | 4 | Comp.
