| 4 | Depression | Dizziness, increased sexuality, short term memory loss, increased happiness all around. | I have been taking this med for a few weeks, and I switched from Cymbalta to it... I can honestly say it has helped me all around... Cymbalta made me feel more depressed and made it extremely if not impossible to orgasm, but I find it easier to with Wellbutrin, and the sensations are more intense. The only negative side effects I would say are dizziness that make me feel very disoriented and almost nauseous at times, and the dizzy spells last for a few days... I also have a harder time recalling events that happened a few seconds ago... But all around, I am so happy with this medicine. | F | 19 | 5 weeks | 1/10/2007 | 4 | Stop Smoking | I would be up till 2 in the morning and wake up for no reason like 2 hrs before my alarm went off but not be tired all day, after several days lost desire to smoke, now smoke free for 1month 1 week and have stopped taking wellbutrin 2 weeks ago | For some reason while taking it i never got mad! | M | 19 | 3 weeks | 11/27/2001 | 4 | Depression and Social Anxiety | 2 weeks: Sudden, intense headaches. Irritability. Strained breathing (felt as if I could not take a full deep breath). 3-4 weeks: Now at about 275mg (I cut my pills into portions, so i dont take too much too fast) Slight irritability, but wearing off. Weight loss, approx. 6 lbs so far. Decreased appetite | I started out very slow with this medicine. I had bad experiences in the past with other meds, so i wanted to start at a low dosage and move up slowly. I started at 1/4 of the 150, and moved up by 1/4 about every four days. After about a month now, I am at 275mg. My side effects have definitely faded. I experience occasional irritability. My appetite has remained smaller, and I've lost about 6-8lbs. I am already feeling better. More motivated, more energy, generally happy and satisfied. I would like to see more improvements though on my social anxiety. But, so far, I am very satisfied! | M | 19 | 1 days | 5/27/2005 | 3 | major depression | Iv only been taking it for 11 days. But so far my bladder is always full, no desire to eat (not a complaint, twithy cant be still, headache sometimes, one day I woke up and it felt like I had spent the day before in the gym my muscles were so sore subsided though. | I see that a lot of people started itching and got a rash I really hope this doesnt happen to me. Iv been taking 300 mg of wellbutrin for almost two weeks. Its working very slowly I dont like that I have to pee every few minutes, or the twitchy like feeling. Other than that its ok. I say after a month I'll know if its good for me. I have no desire to eat had to make myself eat today was full off of half a sandwich. Gives me more energy atleast I can get through the day now. It bothers me when I'm lonely now never did until I started taking this medicine thats the only thing that makes me sad. And my mouth is dry its not really bad but I have to keep putting on lipgloss and drinking something I wake up like I'm dehydrated. | F | 19 | 11 days | 2/27/2005 | 3 | depression | Paranoia, no sleep, nerves, sweating nonstop, lost of appetite. | So do to me having asthma and taking other meditations with Wellbutrin, the past two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) i haven't taking no meditation.

People say i should calm down but i can due to my other disorders | F | 19 | 1 months 150mg | 1/22/2015 | 3 | Depression | after being switched to 300mg i experince Severe headaches, drowsiness, dry mouth,neck and back pain, stomache discomfort, sensetivity to light and lack of motivation | So far the ups to this medication is that ive lost 4 pounds and kept it off, which is great because i gained 20 pounds in one month due to my depression, i also have no desire to smoke a cigarette, in fact when i smell one i get sick. i dont think its helping with my depression because the headaches are so bad im not able to do anything. hopefully if i decrease the dosage i'll got back to feeling ok | F | 19 | 6 weeks | 7/20/2005 | 3 | depression | i have been having aches on my body and low libido i've been taking this for 2 weeks now but i hope my libido will go back to normal in a few weeks? | i dont feel as depressed anymore | M | 19 | 2 weeks | 10/25/2006 | 2 | depression, anxiety, OCD | I started with 100mg and I'm currently taking 300mg a day. It hasn't improved my depression at all and I've had an increase in anxiety and panic attacks. It really helps with controlling the intrusive thoughts caused by OCD. The side effects are terrible:constant trembling hands, insomnia, very dry mouth all the time, restlessness, and it's hell on my eating disorder. | F | 19 | 4 months 300 mg | 9/26/2013 | 2 | depression/anxiety | anxiety. | It made me want to go out and do more but it made my anxiety really bad and caused panic attacks. no weight gain on it, i bet it works great for some people but not me | M | 19 | 1 months 100mg? 1X day | 11/29/2011 | 1 | depression | paranoia, shaking, auditory hallucinations, felt like i was on bad amphetamines.. alot of dissasociation.. irritability. i could deal with it at 150 mg, but when i upped to 300 it became unbearable.. | DO NOT take this drug if you are prone to anxiety or paranoia. i may have lost my job because of wellbutrin. | F | 19 | 17 days | 12/18/2004 | 5 | Depression | Nothing serious, I dream more and thats about it. | It has helped me so much. I had horrible headaches before, stomach pains, light headedness, always tired.I felt like I didnt know who I was anymore. My personality seemed to disapear and my friends noticed. I wasn't myself, I was always irritated and lost interest in everything in my life and could not understand why this was happening. I had all the signs of Hypothyrodism but it was just major depression. Medicine works differently on everyone. For me it has given me my life back, I feel like me again, I didn't lose my personality after all. I eat normally, Im not tired anymore, no more headaches, no more low body temperatures, no more misery in my own body. Ive read many of the comments on here and everybodys body functions differently, there are alot of mixed ratings, hopefully this helps. I know how awful it is when something you can not control takes over your life. Best of luck. | F | 20 | 1 months | 10/4/2009 | 5 | Depression | "Hormonal" (For the first week), decreased appetite, lost interest in smoking, very motivated, extremely perky, increased libido. | I started on the wellbutrin because Zoloft, Prozac, and Lexapro weren't working for me. For the first week I was very moody and vicious toward my husband. After a week, I became more mild. I have been taking it for over a month now and I see drastic changes in my attitude and sex life. I am no longer rude and snappy toward my spouse I am always nice to him now, I am always willing to have sex (and often initiate it myself.). I only eat one small meal a day, so shedding weight is easier. However, I am a light smoker (5 a day) and have lost complete interest in smoking. It tastes horrible now to smoke. So that's great if you're trying to quit. | F | 20 | 6 weeks | 3/15/2007 | 5 | depression | ocassional headaches, weight loss, low blood pressure (I don't really know if it is from wellbutrin), dry mouth (leading to me drinking a ton of water and having to pee all the time), constipation, stomachaches and dizzyness when I first started. | I've been taking wellbutrin a little over a year now and feel like I finally have my own, sane, hopeful mind back in my head. Side effects were much more prominent when I first started taking it, but I still have a few. | F | 20 | 1 years | 1/18/2007 | 5 | Depression | Loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, headache, vommiting, ringing in ears, anxiety | This medicine is a miracle drug that made me energetic, happy, and skinny. Downside is it does make me very anxious. | F | 20 | 2 years 450 | 3/11/2017 | 4 | Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue | Increased heart rate, insomnia, more energy | So far, it's going well for me by increasing my energy. The insomnia is a problem though. I usually go to sleep around 11 or midnight, but now I can't fall asleep until about 3AM. | F | 20 | 1 weeks | 1/30/2010 | 4 | depression | headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite suppression, increased sex drive, increased attention | F | 20 | 17 months 300 xl 1X day | 12/3/2011 | 4 | moderate depression | headaches and irritability the first few days. absolutely no appetite, insomnia, vivid dreams | took 150mg for two weeks and started to notice a difference. i'm on my third day of 300mg and i really like how i feel. irritability is gone, anxiety has decreased, and i have a lot of energy now. not as emotional/sad. | F | 20 | 17 days | 3/13/2006 | 4 | depression, anxiety | anxiety was increased the first week or so, mania!!, jittery, "too much coffee" feeling, racing thoughts, increased imagination!! increase in sex drive, horrible tremors, spacey feeling, headaches, leg twitches for no reason, first week- restlessness, unable to fall asleep, stomach cramps, increased appetite, bad morning breath, | Wow- a LOT of changes on this med. I started taking it for anxiety and depression when I was last hospitalized. They put me on it as well as prozac "Wellbutrin will help your sex life" was basically what he was telling me... and I do have a sex drive back. The first few nights on it I was a manic mess! I was everywhere- bouncing off the wall- I actually knew what mania felt like! Jittery coffee feeling. I'm a photography and the horrible tremors made it very difficult for me to work. I was very self conscious because I was so shakey... I look like I have Parkinson's disease! (I'm not joking...) I had terrible stomach pains the first 2 weeks, I was "hit" while in the grocery store, and my boyfriend had to put me in the cart because I couldn't walk through the pain... this subsided though. Headaches every day, I suffered dry mouth at first, horrible taste in mouth in the mornings. on a good note, I have not been this happy with life since in 5 years. | F | 20 | 3 weeks | 8/13/2009 | 4 | major depression | decrease in appetite, lost 18 lbs. also experienced frequent severe headaches, constipation, trouble remembering, confusion, very rapid heart rate, and actually felt pretty euphoric when i first started the medication. | Wellbutrin has really changed my life, although i am not completely recovered from major depression, my views on life have changed for the better. This drug gave me an ease of mind, energy, motivation, happiness, and helped me concentrate. I love wellbutrin, it helped me so much. I was on 450mg of XL. | F | 20 | 7 months | 7/9/2004 |
