| 1 | Dizziness, Numbness and tingling in face. Blurred vision. A headache that lasted several days. Difficulty sleeping. Crazy dreams. | I took t his drug for all of 4 days and I will never take it again. By the fourth day I felt like I was going to have a stroke! Even as I'm writing this I still have a headache. It is not a good drug. I took it to stop smoking - I think i'd rather smoke than be on this drug! | F | 27 | 1X day | 11/15/2011 | 1 | Depression | No effect at all, did nothing for my depression. | F | 27 | 2 months | 5/25/2004 | 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 | 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 | 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, 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 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Comp. Eater/Phentermine abuse | muscle pain, stomacaches, loss appetite (god bless!) lots of energy!! return of sex drive after Prozac. I magically stopped bingeing!!!!! i lost the desire to drink alcohol! amazing! | The 1st 2 weeks were awesome, now i feel it s starting to "wear off" ? i m taking 150mg XL ...i started to feel anxious, short temper and very moody. Can it be that i m 10 days away from my period? Please if someone experienced something similar as far as the medicine wearing off, losing effectiveness, please email me . I really appreciate all the info that i can get | F | 26 | 14 days | 2/12/2007 | 4 | Comp.

I magically stopped bingeing!!!!! i lost the desire to drink alcohol! amazing! | The 1st 2 weeks were awesome, now i feel it s starting to "wear off" ? i m taking 150mg XL ...i started to feel anxious, short temper and very moody.

I really appreciate all the info that i can get | F | 26 | 14 days | 2/12/2007 | 4 | depression | Okay i have given this drug a good while to see it true effects and i would like to be very honest with those reading. I like this drug BC i have more energy, i believe that i take things in more stride than i once did and i believe i feel happier with it. Now here is what my husband and friends say. They want me to stop BC the suicide ideation is more real than ever. When its good its good, when its bad its bad. Strange i know for me to like taking this drug. But in truth drugs that alter chemical balance also alter perception. If anyone else believes they may be experiencing similar thoughts plz email me. I don't want to put everything on here but it is always positive to speak to those with similar experience. That being said, i still find it a helpful drug. People just need to be careful with any of these types of drugs. | F | 26 | 6 months 150mg x2 | 2/19/2013 | 4 | Depression, social anxiety, | 1st two weeks - insomnia, headaches, felt like it couldn't get a deep breath, slight panic attacks when mixed with too much caffeine, alcohol or over the counter cold medication. full month - cannot mix any caffeine, antihistamines, sleeping medication etc. Triggers slight panic attacks, irregular heartbeats, tunnel vision, etc. These side effects have not subsided. | Had crappy common side effects the first two weeks; headaches, insomnia, etc. Also, I can hardly have any caffeine or take any time of sleeping medication with this drug or over the counter antihistamines etc.. It triggers mild panic attacks. Also, alcohol is a no no on this drug for me. If I get drunk, I'll have irregular heart beats the next day, have mild panic attacks, etc. Definitely not worth drinking heavily on this medication However, I was able to get back to a fairly regular sleep schedule about 2.5 weeks in to taking the medication. I rarely get headaches now... but occasionally at the end of a work day I will get a slight headache. I definitely focus more and am able to bust out some serious projects at work in half the time it took me before. I definitely feel lots better (and felt better almost instantly). Way more motivated to be social, hardly irritable at all, focus on thins better, not as fidgety, and generally just have feel better about everything. I was on lexepro before and had no sex drive, couldn't get off and felt almost manic. Here's my issue. I cannot mix ANYTHING with this. I took a generic day quil one day for a cold and got angy, agitated and wanted to bite someones head off. After two hours, I was back to normal. Caffeine is a no no (at least in large amounts), it triggers mild panic attacks. I didn't even realize I was having panic attacks because i had never had them until now. Has anyone experienced crazy drug interactions | M | 26 | 1 months 150 XL 1X day | 3/28/2011 | 4 | Depression | The only side effect I experience was a "wired" feeling for the first couple days, and then again when I increased the dose from 150mg to 300mg. I was very worried about side effects but have only experienced that one. It is also helping my depression. | F | 26 | 1 months 300 MG | 9/1/2014 | 4 | F | 26 | 4 days | 4/28/2004 | 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 150 | 6/21/2019 | 4 | add, depression, smoking cessation | Dry mouth, a little shaky | I had known I was depressed for some time. My husband and I were fighting about the cleanliness of our home, couldn't keep kids on a steady schedule, life was just...chaotic. I know it's only been a week but I can tell a difference. I'm CONSTANTLY cleaning, dinner at around the same time, showers and bed routine with kids done before their bedtime,and no fighting with hubby, and I haven't had a cigarette in 8 days. I'd say it works for me. | F | 26 | 7 days 150 mg | 3/22/2016 | 3 | Depression/Anxiety | In the beginning on 150mg once a day I felt like I drank 6 cups of coffee all day for about a week. The second week I started crying alot about everything. Finally it settled down and the doc raised the dose I had the same side effects. After 6 weeks developed shortness of breath, Extreme agitation, uncomfortable in own skin, wanted to keep moving feet, couldn't even hold a conversation because I was so impatient. | I know it works for some people, it did for me for about 3 weeks. If anyone starts to feel uncomfortable with this med or any other, don't let the doc try to convince you that you just have bad anxiety and try to keep you on it. Listen to your body, only you know how you feel. | F | 26 | 7 weeks | 10/3/2006 |
