| 5 | Depression and paranoia | A bit of insomnia that is neutralized by valerian; big increase in sex drive; much better focus; crisp dreams; lessening of paranoia. | Great medicine! Was taking Paxil for over 11 years. This is a lot better. Glad I asked my doctor to prescribe it for me! | F | 54 | 10 days 300 mg 1X day | 9/6/2011 | 5 | depression | F | 54 | 6 days | 2/29/2008 | 5 | Depression/ Anxiety | Rash/ Sweating/ some mental fuzziness/ Increase in libido,weight loss, increased energy and ability to focus better. | The libido has been stationary and good. Dosage has been reduced to 150mg of XL. still sweating. This Drug has really helped and I've reccomended it to others who report similar results. My dreams seem to be more vivid and colorfull. My results are probably impacted by my overall hydration level, amount of B-Complex vitamins taken. The B-complex for me seems to smooth out the medicational effects. I believe when B-Complex is combined with L-Phenylalanine the seratonin levels have a chance to replenish , which helps the Wellbutrin work better. It's been a great med for me ! Thanks | M | 54 | 1 years | 2/1/2008 | 4 | Add-H Depression | Hard to sleep tired all the time | M | 54 | 7 days 150mg ever | 5/14/2015 | 4 | Depression | Involuntary jerks of hands and legs. Feels like when you're about to fall asleep and suddenly jerk awake, but this is in the daytime. Often feel like adrenaline is flooding my stomach. | Helps with depression. No weight gain like with Zoloft or decreased libido like with Prozac. I do think Prozac worked better and the only reason I went off it was my husband complained about that libido thing. | F | 54 | 1 years | 7/8/2007 | 4 | help to quit smoking/depression | Dry Mouth constant ringing in ears!!!! | The effect of the drug was such that I lost interest in smoking completely within a week!Quit cold Turkey Didn't do much for depression, except I stopped ruminating about things. | F | 54 | 1 years | 10/9/2006 | 3 | Depression | Slight fatigue. | I have been depressed for many years and felt I could cope without meds....WRONG. I have had constant fatigue and lack of motivation which has really effected my career. I have found a really good doctor who is walking me through the "antidepressant maze". I have been trying several meds which all gave me really bad side effects. The last one was Prozac, and was that horrible! Doctor took me off it immediately and placed me on Trazodone which has really helped with my chronic sleep problem. I feel much better now that the Prozac is out of my system. The doc has since placed me on Wellbutrin XL and took the first 150mg dose this morning. He is increasing the dosage to 300mg in a week. He told me that WB and Trazodone have worked together very well for a number of patients. We shall see. I am anxious to see if all the reports of insomnia with WB is true and whether the Traz will work to help me sleep. Would be fantastic to have the positive effectiveness of both dru | M | 54 | 1 days | 3/31/2007 | 3 | Depression | Started with 150 mg, did fine. Up to 300 mg, sometimes wake up with profound anxiety, almost paralyzing. End of day can often feel the same way. | Having the most bizarre anxiety dreams, very vivid, very lucid dreams, usually upon waking. | F | 54 | 10 days 300 mg 1X day | 8/23/2010 | 3 | Depression | Later in the day (3pm) I started having chest pains and rapid heart beat. My BP is fine but still rapid heart beat. Sleep interrupted. Anxiety is common 50 % of the time. I have been feeling an increase in tingling in my hands. | Yes it does help my depression and weight control, but i don't like the anxiety feeling and rapid heart beat. I was more active with the meds, but with chest pain it's too much of a distraction. | M | 54 | 4 months 150mg 2X day | 3/4/2010 | 3 | depression | very few at first, had been through Paxil & Lexapro but both gave me horrid headaches. Am supposed to be taking 150 mg of the SL twice a day but usually only take the morning pill--never remember the second one. | while i was away on vacation i had time to take the correct dosage (150 mg 2x day) and about a week after that i had the most gawd-awful headache and nasea/vomiting. am very prone to migraines anyway so i don't know if this is coincidence or the effect of taking the higher dose, but i am going back to 1 pill a day. as for helping w/depression, i guess it's okay, i am still likely to cry easily but i don't feel as negative/angry/hopeless as i used to | F | 54 | 6 months | 8/16/2005 | 3 | maj dep/anx/add | swimming head,sick feeling upon awakening(goes away) | All right, whats going on here??? Firstly, I never had a rash or itch; Secondly, it HAS NOT raised my libido at all (i havent had an orgasm in 6 weeks--could that be the celexa i am taking w/it?)NOW HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM---I am a human dynamo at work, very sociable any where--as soon as i shut the door behind me__I GO TO BED!!!!on wekends i sleep ALL the TIME!-i will lay in bed for 13 hours if i hav the time--my house is a human bomb explosion--it is so cluttered i am utilizing only 10% of it. but i WILL NOT clean! will not do anything positive for myself...and this is all on 300mg WB and celexa. where is MY insomnia!!!? where is my ENERGY AT HOME!!!? | M | 54 | 6 weeks | 2/19/2006 | 2 | depression / anxiety | Tennitus in both ears | Stopped after trying 2 times to take the drug. Liked the way I felt - but the ringing in the ears is now a documented side effect but NOT when I started taking it. DRs still don't know tennitus is a side effect! Bummer. Scared now of these drugs and trying to get help to quiet my brain (ears) down! | M | 54 | 12 days | 2/26/2007 | 2 | depression | panic attack, increased depression | Should I stick it out. This is my 2nd day and I had to leave work because I was freaking out | F | 54 | 2 days | 2/21/2007 | 2 | Bipolar depression | Hypomania and the worst side effect was sleep interruption , every night I would wake up around 2am and it would take me an hour to fall back asleep. This recent trial was my second time with wellbutrin and I had prev sleeping problems with it also.. | M | 54 | 3 weeks Not sure | 8/30/2014 | 2 | Depression | Anger rage I seem to be taking my agressive nature out on my wife, friends and co-workers. Back to the drawing board what a roller coaster life. | M | 54 | 8 days | 1/23/2010 | 2 | For smoking withdrawals | Oh my...this drug has been a roller coaster with my moods...it's scarey...only been on 150mg 14 days but this drug is not worth it...I have stopped smoking for a week...but don't sleep well at all...have been so depressed on it to the point of suicidal thoughts...do not recommend this for anyone... | F | 54 | 14 days | 1/19/2009 | 1 | I became very irritated with everything and got severe migraines. I am now off this junk - it is pure poison. Exercise and eat well don't take SSRIs or SSNIs. | It should be taken off the market - like Serzone was. | M | 54 | 7 days 75 MG 1X day | 6/5/2012 | 5 | irritability, mild depression | extra sweating, some aggitation, huge increase in sex drive. | I started taking Wellbutrin XL, 150 Mg once a day because I told my Doc that I was irritated all the time, pissed off at the world and didn't know why. It started working for me in about five days and the black cloud of depression started lifting. I feel like my old self, I seem to be enjoying life more. I really increased my sex drive, which was a big plus. I like how I feel on the current dose, and will see the Doc again before the end of the three month prescription runs out to talk about staying on the same dose or increasing it. This has been a good experience for me. | M | 53 | 50 days 150 mg 1X day | 8/17/2011 | 5 | Depression | Headaches early on,night sweats, some brain fog early on . Definite increase in Libido. | Well folk I've been on this great med for over 2 months now and I'M DOING FANTASTIC! I get more done in all facets of my life because I'm more focused, have more energy, lighter in weight by 10 pounds and just feel better. Things that would overwhelm me in the past just don't bother me like they did. It's great. The headaches have gone away.I'm most definately hornier than ever! I'm glad this drug is out there. I switched over to the generic version of the XL and have saved alot on med expenses with no change in the results. | M | 53 | 60 days | 2/22/2007 | 5 | Depression | Headaches, night sweats, 3 or 4 occurences of localized muscle spasms,bloodshot eyes. All were minimal on 150 mg dosage. Increased slightly with 300mg. Nothing unbearable, But Oh Dear a Serious increase in Libido ! Sustained weightloss,Increase in dreams. | This med has helped immensly ! My emotions are getting back to normal, feeling that good balance again! I've taken this med 10 yrs ago and found that it worked best if I took a good B Complex vitamin with it! Oh and do stay hydrated ! This drug has a wonderful side effect of making me loose weight and become Hornier than a Hoot Owl ! Good God !!! Whoo Whoo !!! I already had a healty libido but this stuff pumped up the volume. Recently had a glass of wine and felt like I'd had two.. so watch out for that. Whoo Whoo ! Nice increase in energy and ability to better focus on things I'd been avoiding in the past. I've been on this for 1 month now and I'm so glad it's available. After reading others comments it appears that the drug company would do well to make this in 25mg increment dosages to allow for those who are more or less sensitive to this great medication. Thats all for now folks !! Whooo Whooo! | M | 53 | 30 days | 1/19/2007 |
