| 4 | diabetic neurooathu | none | Does indeed work better than the lyrica class of drugs and without the side effects. | M | 73 | 5 days 150mg 2X day | 2/8/2011 | 4 | depression | nervousness, dizziness, increased appetite | relieves depression quickly not for anxiety though , had to take xanax too to calm down | M | 60 | 6 months 75mg 2X day | 3/31/2010 | 4 | Depression, anxiety | Dizzy at first, cant smoke pot anymore or i get panic attacks.. not mentally, but just waves of anxiety | I started on 150mg and now im at 300mg. Im wondering if anyone else had to get used to the medication again after going up in mg. | M | 30 | 2 months 300 1X day | 2/8/2010 | 4 | depression | none that I recognize but then I have several health issues | I have been ADDHD since birth but only got the DX when I was 45. Since then methyphenidate SR helped FANTASTICALLY! After a few months I noticed that I was getting "tired" and listless, so my doctor put me on bupropion ... it worked. | M | 58 | 2 years 200 mg 2X day | 2/12/2017 | 4 | mild depression with some SI | none | M | 77 | 10 years 200,100 mg 2X day | 3/14/2017 | 3 | massive Depression | My short term memory is really bad. I still don't feel lke eating after 6 weeks. I have no sex drive. My smoking habit hasn't even reduced. I still feel slumpish and emotionless, except for getting angry very easily. I have to force my self to sound happy during my 10/hr a day customer service job which my therapist says is too much for me. I hate interacting with people, I tend t avoid it even after 6 weeks. | Really beginning to think I need to up my dose | M | 43 | 6 weeks 150 1X day | 9/2/2017 | 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 150 MG 1X day | 7/4/2020 | 3 | Depression | Sinking feeling from my chest to stomach when standing. Extremely tired. And no appetite | M | 31 | 3 weeks 1X day | 8/13/2020 | 3 | A.D.H.D. & Depression | Insomnia, waking up much earlier than usual and not being able to fall back asleep, skin rash all over stomach and arms, gas | I have only been taking for 8 days, and antidepressants usually take a few weeks to kick in, so I don't know whether it is actually working | M | 16 | 8 days 150 mg 1X day | 2/18/2010 | 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 | bupropion ER | no side effects that I know of. | I have been taking Bupropion 200 MG once a day. The first week I have noticed an up in my mood, but later on (about 4 days later) I experienced one day when I was at the gym euphoria, I was extremely happy and smiling at everyone, I was making great plans for my business and everything was fine. Later there on, I have been noticing a huge lift in my mood, and also days of severe depression and hopelessness. One day I'm happy, the next no hope at all. This really far from what I was hoping for. I think this drug is making me realize more and more that I have bipolar disorder, I haven't experienced any euphoria before the meds, but now. It's rediculous. | M | 23 | 34 days 200 MG 1X day | 3/25/2010 | 3 | Severe Depression, irritability | Positives: Rapid weight loss, Better outlook on life and looking forward to the future, Manageable anger fits, Increased sex drive, Better, more restful sleep. Negatives: Extreme loss of appetite, paranoia, moody, sleeping A LOT, memory loss, blank spaces in my day. | I get sick whenever I think of eating, going as far as thinking that I hate food in general, when I do eat, I'll get half way through my meal and then have to stop because I get nauseous, even the smell of anything food related makes me sick, EXTREME paranoia, to the point where I was pacing back and forth being worried that I was going to die, harder to wake up in the morning, always aroused for no reason, I have periods of time in a day that I cannot remember, increase muscle pain in my legs, including tingling. In general, I'm better off than I was. I'm stable, but when the side effects kick in, they kick in really hard. I am on the generic version of Wellbutrin. After reading other posts, I think I might try the real deal, although, I think if that if there is THAT much of a difference, the pharmaceutical companies should stop and think REAL hard about playing roulette with people's lives. | M | 26 | 3 weeks 150 MG 2X day | 4/11/2010 | 3 | severe depression | increased libido, dry mouth, insomnia, dizziness, lack of energy, restlessness,increased appetite, headaches, withdrawn. | I've been on generic buporion SR 150 mg. 1x daily for 7 days. I been having a lot of negative side effects, but i will stick it out for another few more weeks and see if it gets any better. I have taken Prozac and tried Zoloft with bad side effects so I'm hoping this will work for me. | M | 38 | 7 days 150 1X day | 9/13/2010 | 3 | Depression | Am having trouble with "the plumbing." Stomach aches, diarrhea, constipation. Am also experiencing ringing in my ears. In addition, I have the notorious "brain zaps," but that could very well be from going off Celexa (which I have done in very small increments). | A little too soon to tell, but it seems like the sexual side effects I always had from SSRIs have gone away. I do feel a bit more "up," but would like to see more anti-depression effect. I use the generic, but after reading this helpful forum may ask my doc about the brand name. Looking forward to that weight loss thing... | M | 42 | 10 days 300 MG 1X day | 11/27/2010 | 3 | anxiety | none | Started Wellbutrin 3 days ago. Just taking the 150 SR in early morning just once a day so as to avoid insomnia. I think its already working but doc says it will take a month. I also take Lexapro everyday but alone it was starting to lose its helpfulness. I will keep you updated as I get deeper into its effect. | M | 56 | 3 days 1X day | 3/30/2011 | 3 | Depression | Slight insomnia the first couple of nights: After sleeping well for a few hours, I would wake up in the middle of the night. That seems to have abated already - I hope. Appetite has certainly been supressed. Slight muscle pain. | My shrink has me on 150 for 6 days and then wants me to go to 300/day beginning tomorrow. I'll try it as I'm trying to keep an open mind and mostly becauase I definitely feel as though I need something. So far I've noticed the depression has lifted - almost immediately after I started taking it. Feel somewhat more confident and better able to stand my ground (no pun intended re the FL thing). Libido is back. Still feeling somewhat "flat" though - no real "joie de vivre" (joy of life) like I experienced on Prestiq in only three weeks (but which also caused me to gain 9 lbs in that short time, so I got off of it.) Didn't make the conenction to slight muscle pain in the am until I read others' comments here. | M | 55 | 5 days 150 1X day | 3/25/2012 | 3 | ADHD and Depression | 1. Slight Tremor 2. Palpitation 3. | I was a terrible procrastinator and hated to wake up in the morning. However after a little while my ability to concentrate and focus on the task increased and I started waking up fresher in the morning. | M | 37 | 3 months 75 SR 1X day | 1/22/2012 | 3 | depression, suppliment to celexa | Most notable side effect is tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Also bad headache the first two days. Otherwise, no other issues. | I do feel a bit more alert and engaged in daily activities. The feeling of brain fog is slowly disappearing and I can focus on tasks and conversations better. | M | 46 | 7 days 150 mg 1X day | 1/4/2013 | 3 | Depression/ Anxiety | The most noticeable side effects early on were inability to sleep (was then prescribed Trazadone, which helped) and irritability, which lasted off and on for the first 2 weeks. Also, while I wasn't taking it for smoking cessation, it naturally made me smoke considerably less because the desire for smoking just didnt enter my mind nearly as often. Having used drugs recreationally in the past, I was really wanting to 'feel' Wellbutrin right away... like popping a percocet, but of course that wasnt the case. You will notice the benefit of this drug in retrospect, i.e. "wow I drove 50 miles in total silence with the radio off (its usually ALWAYS on to keep my mind calm) and didn't get pissed off at a single driver!". This NEVER would have happened without Wellbutrin. Its just a small example... Ive also noticed much calmer demeanor in general, increased energy, more of a desire to do stuff (randomly clean the house, pick up after myself, and "care" about how my house looks--being so depressed I never have anyone over so its nice to see that I care more about improving my surroundings for my own benefit). | M | 32 | 3 weeks 150x2/day | 8/18/2012 | 3 | ADHD | Over the nine days I took it, I got more and more restless, and had severe outbursts of crying. Just sat there, listening to iTunes, crying, crying, crying. Felt good somehow, though. Like a release of suppressed feelings. So the cying was acceptable. I'd assume it would stop after a while. But on the 9'th day I had a panic attack. Couldn't sit still, was restless, and panicked. Felt really drugged. | I should maybe have continued, to see whether the panic attack was a one-time affair. Wellbutrin seems very unique in effect. Might have been worth it. | M | 33 | 9 days 150 MG 1X day | 3/7/2013 |
