It did help my lack of libido since I'm also on paxil and hadn't had any feeling in that department for years. So now I'm taking paxil and wellbutrin and the two work great together. Paxil for my head problems and wellbutrin for my libido problems. Happy at last!!! | F | 51 | | 11/8/2007 | 5 | Depression | No side effects. Have been taking this for 8 years | I am drug-sensitive. Wellbutrin HCL is the only antidepressant that has worked well for me! No weight-gain | F | 55 | 150 MG 1X day | 7/24/2015 | 4 | depression | My sex drive and orgasmic response has increased incredibly. Taking Prozac really took away my body's capacity to respond to my husband, but it's back and better than ever. THe past week or so I have been wanting to have sex at least once per day and I have amazing orgasms now. | F | 28 | | 4/17/2009 | 4 | 1X day | 2/3/2015 | 4 | depression | dry mouth | F | 66 | | 8/14/2004 | 4 | | 5/7/2004 | 4 | depression, ADHD, anxiety | None | Helped with depression and focus but not with anxiety | M | | 11/3/2003 | 4 | Smoking cessation | when taken properly just memory issues (started a to-do list so I wouldn't forget things). Accidentally took WB (300mg) one day and forgot that I took it and took it again. WOAH!!! Ringing in ears, headache, shaking like a leaf. | Smoking since 14, at least 1 pack a day and a social drinker (weekends mostly) and don't do either anymore and no anger or feelings of having to have them. I don't care about them anymore. I was the type of person to hang out alot but now I stay home more. | F | 32 | | 1/2/2007 | 4 | depression | tinnitus (ringing in the ears). the main reason i'm adding this review is because after 6 months of not taking it, i'm still experiencing tinnitus. i'm wondering if it's permanent | did help take the edge off of the depression and allow me to function so i could get better. | M | 47 | 150 2X day | 6/30/2012 | 3 | To quit smoking. | I was on wellbutrin for years until I lost my insurance temporarily and couldn't afford them, then when I went back on this drug, the entire reaction was different. I have every side effect that was possible with this drug and I'm thinking of just not taking them. Everything tastes bitter, I can't even think of food without feeling nausea, and I feel shaky and weak. I didn't have any of this the first time I was on them and I'm wondering if taking the full dose right away was a mistake, perhaps I should have gradually went to 4 a day, I'm not sure if that would have helped but I know I can't go on like this. | F | 53 | 4X day | 7/17/2012 | 3 | anxiety, depression | not sure how this is working since i just started last week...i take effexor 75mg XR and wondering if anyone takes these two drugs together? i have no appetite but feel very sluggish...only been a week though...just wondering....i will stick it out since i know it will be great once it settles in my body...thanks | F | 30 | | 1/11/2006 | 3 | mild depression and anxiety | On 300mg too early I had excessive drymouth, nausea, shakes, insomnia, no appetite, food makes me want to vomit, weird dreams, sweats, agitated, panicky. Slowed back down to 150 and adjusted to normal within a few days. | When I first started taking Wellbutrin Generic Bupoprian my doctor had prescribed 150mg for 3 days and then 300mg after that. The 150 set me off like a rocket the first day. The 300mg I just wanted to curl up in my bed and hide out or just jump out of myself. I also had all the side effects above but they were even worse. So my doctor said I am probably really sensitive to meds and I need to ease into this drug. Once I switched back to 150mg after a few days I was totally fine. I am able to sleep and focus and I'm not feeling so nutty. I think with wellbutrin people are thrown into high dosages way too quickly. I really think it's a drug that you need to gradually build up on. Also sometimes sleeping aids make you moody so I'm not sure if it's the best mix to balance your emotions. My doctor says that Wellbutrin is only for mild depression, not severe depression. Apparently the SSRI's work better for severe depression. | F | 37 | 150 1X day | 11/7/2010 Patient History | 3 | 1X day | 3/4/2018 | 3 | Depression | irritability, easily startled, difficulty falling asleep, anxiety, decreased appetite. | I was on Wellbutrin for about a year and when I tried to go off it I had a quick return of depressive symptoms so I started it again after a few months. This is when I have had the side effects I described. I have been on it again now for almost two months and the side effects havn't gone away. | F | 30 | | 12/31/2005 | 3 | | 8/11/2003 | 3 | depression | unable to get to sleep | F | 60 | | 1/9/2003 | 3 | depression | wt gain | F | 46 | | 9/21/2002 | 3 | Depression | insomnia, anxiety, running thoughts, slight depression, constipation, nausea | F | 27 | | 11/19/2004 |
