| 2 | Depression | I'm no longer taking this medication. | Wellbutrin caused me to feel in a fog and have bad eye focus. It didn't seem to help my depression, it only dampened my anxiety. I'm sure it works for some but was not for me. | F | 38 | 150 mg 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | Depression, anxiety, low libido | I'm no longer taking this medication. I switched to Prozac due to weight loss and unpleasant symptoms on Wellbutrin. I now take Strattera. | F | 23 | 200, 400 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | Depression | I'm no longer taking this medication. | I think a side effect that lasts after you stop taking it, for me, is sexual dysfunction, can't feel stimulation normally. Nobody talks about that part. It's a very frustrating experience. I'm thankful for a very understanding and patient husband of 4 years now. | F | 58 | ? Can�dn&# 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | PPD | Aggression, violence, irritability, mood swings, headaches, panic, anxiety | I will advise every woman I know to stay away from this drug. I became a person I woudn't want to know. | F | 35 | | 9/12/2007 | 1 | Depression | I took Wellbutrin for about 2 months or so when I suddenly had a Grand Mal Seizure and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I have never had a seizure before this. I also have a rare spinal cord disorder called Syringomyelia, so I spent 3 days in the hospital because when I had the seizure I fell off the couch while convulsing and with my spinal condition they took it very seriously! The doctors determined that the seizure was caused from the Wellbutrin cause it was the newest medicine I had been taking. | This was the first depression med that I had took that didn't make my head feel weird, so I thought I finally found something that I could take with out all the bad side effects, boy was I wrong. My doctors all decided that I shouldn't take ANY type of anti-depressants cause none of them agree with my body!! Just be careful when taking anything like Wellbutrin. | F | 32 | 150 1X day | 3/17/2014 | 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 | mild depression | Major rashes on major percentage of body; started going away after I stopped taking it. Took more than 3 months to figure out the cause as all tests came back inconclusive, including a biopsy. | F | 56 | | 12/13/2005 | 1 | depression / anxiety | To whomever tried to email me regading my 3/29/12 post (I had a grand mal seizure on this stuff), please resend the email as I lost it before I could get it to open! | F | 44 | 100 1X day | 4/17/2012 | 3 | depression, unable to concetrate | i think that some of the side affects were drowsiness, and about two weeks after I started taking it I had a mild case of hives. I am not sure however if that was caused by the medicine or not. | F | 15 | 1 times | 4/2/2001 | 1 | smoking cessation | After taking medication for approximately 2 weeks experienced severe itching, redness and welts | I'm on a Medrol Dose Pack now, but still have severe itching. I'd like to know what is the main ingredient in this medication that I'm allergic to. | F | 44 | 2 times | 5/10/2009 | 3 | depression | angiety nervesness dry mouth insomnia consipation or diarrea feeling of totally lost | i have to say to be honest this my seccond posting and i hate for anybody to loose hope,i gettingclos if i havnt already ive taken wellbutrin off and on for a number of years this time ive taken it for 6 days and the depression seems to be worse i do feel like the doctors give me this drug and said dont let the door hit you on the way out and yea yea yea poor me i have no one to talk to about the drug or its consequences any suggestions go uder 5 and let me know | M | 40 | 6 times | 6/17/2006 | 5 | Depression! | It has been 10 or more years that I have been on Wellbutrin. I was only on 100 mg a day. Side effects included insomnia (if taken later in the day), dry mouth. My doctor increased my dosage to 200 mg a day last week. So far, I have had headaches. One lasted ALL day long. Since then, the others have been fought off with some ibuprofen. The weight loss started immediately. I have already lost a couple pounds this week. I am not over weight by any means, but the last 5 pounds have been a struggle, including eating right and daily workouts. This little bit of weight loss with the wellbutrin has been a blessing. Lack of appetite too, which probably explains my weight loss. | No sexual side effects at all. I was put on the extra 100 mg to increase libido. It hasnt helped. HELP? Any ideas? [email protected] | F | 33 | 10 times | 2/11/2007 | 5 | Could be mildly depressed. | None thus far. | My sister takes Wellbutrin right now and we have the same Doctor. I want to get on it because I think I might be depressed. Unfortunatly, my appointment to see my doctor isn't for another month and a half. I was wondering if it is safe to take 150mg samples of Wellbutrin before seeing my doc? Afterall, my sister just said that it took 1 minute for her appointment and that she basically asked her if she felt down, anxious, or nervous. Please write back! | F | 19 | 0 days | 11/28/2006 | 3 | Depression | Just starting. I will report back how it goes. | I have been on Effexor - 75mg/d - for about two years. Previously tried Celexa which had little effect, and Remeron which turned me into a monster. Effexor helped but side effects are still there - mainly lack of libido. Now my doc wants me to switch over to Wellbutrin over a three week period. Let's see how it works. | M | 0 days | 1/11/2007 | 1 | weight loss | i havent taken it yet, reading all this has made me scared | I cant believe they prescribe this for things like smoking when it sounds so strong and life changing. I picked up my script a few days ago and im terrified! I have a 8 month old to take care of and a full time job, I dont want anything messing with my life. My sister says I shouldnt read these things, to late! If I just take one tomorrow and if i dont like it and dont take another one will it affect me?? | F | 42 | 0 days | 4/14/2007 | 5 | Chronic Fatigue, Low Libido, SAD | Day 1 so far. Slight jaw clenching, slight spaciness. I am titrating very slowly to avoid shakiness and heart palpitations. I am doing Wellbutrin 75mg, half a pill in the morning and the other half 8 hours later, for 20 days and may increase to Wellbutrin SR 100mg, once a day, from there if needed. | I am also on Lexapro 20mg and have been for two years. It has helped tremendously with my moods swings and irritability but has killed my sex drive and does nothing for my chronic fatigue. Now that winter has come and SAD has set in, I decided it was time to try adding Wellbutrin to the mix to increase energy and libido. It would be nice to drop the 12 lbs I gained from Lexapro, as well. I plan to document my progress. Email me if you are in a similar situation! | F | 31 | 1 days | 12/28/2007 | 4 | Anxiety & weight loss | I just started today and i am nervous but anything can make me feel better then I do currently. I was not to smart and I cold turkey stopped my Celexia 8 days ago. I have been plaqued with depression ( never before), anxietym, hard to breath,headaches and pure sadness | I hope this works for me...any advise | F | 27 | 1 days | 5/23/2007 | 4 | Smoking Cessation | A little confusion and lack of focus and it's day 1 for me. Other than that, things are a pleasure right now. Feel very relaxed and smoking is already starting to taste bad for me. | I have just started taking Wellbutrin SR to quit smoking and am tracking my journey at www.nicotineguillotine.blogspot.com if you want to follow my progress. | F | 25 | 1 days | 9/26/2007 | 4 | depression | Sleeplesadness increased hunger..shaky hand | Sense of wellbeing. | 67 | 1 days | 12/19/2014 | 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 |
