| 4 | major depression, ssri issues | 1 days | 4/12/2016 | 3 | Depression | Sex drive over the roof,,had to stop 300 mg went down to 150 mg and felt better but I still have a high sex drive but not as bad when on 300 mg | F | 1 days 300 | 12/1/2016 | 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 Anxiety Weight Loss | The good: No appetite. Not depressed. High energy level. Better outlook on life. The bad: Anxiety. Dry mouth. Slight headache. Slight fatigue. | I took it for the first time last night. (300mg) I am allready on 100mg Zoloft & Xanax as needed. Today I woke up a little anxious. Then it turned into happy energy. I felt great! I didnt have any anxiety all day. But then I had a panic attack, or something like it, which I havent had in about 2 months on Zoloft & Xanax. I read where most of the side effects wear off after a few weeks. I don't know if I can hang on that long. That stuff just made my anxiety worse! And that is pretty much the cause of my depression, being that I suffer from agorophobia. I'm still pretty unsure of this stuff. Cant make up mind. Does the good outweigh the bad? | F | 25 | 1 days | 11/10/2004 | 3 | depression | dizziness at first....slight feelings of being numb after the first month...not in a bad way but just no emotion bad or good. slight desire to quit smoking but not enough to stop | seems like a good antidepressant...just depends on the user and how it affects them...no horrible side effects except the dizziness at the start. whoever is bashing ppl for taking this drug for an antidepressant is ignorant and needs to stfu if you say depression isnt a real illness than wtf do you think about being ADD. LOL@ YOU you obviously have no real idea about what your are talking about. makes me laugh | F | 22 | 1 days | 3/25/2008 | 2 | depression | Stuttering, nervous twitches. Involuntary leg and hand movements | F | 46 | 1 days | 10/8/2006 | 2 | stop smoking | anxiety, dry mouth, general irratibility, general skin itchiness, insomnia, severe difficulty breathing. | i'm in good health and don't generally go to the dr. very much -- been a little depressed lately so decided to quit smoking and try a mild anti-depressant to take the edge off. i took one pill at lunch yesterday and by 3 a.m. i was totally convinced that i was going to die. The biggest issues were insomnia, anxiety, and breathing problems. insane. i've never experienced anything like it. i threw the bottle away this morning -- i'll get some nicotine gum. thanks for all of the input, though -- at least i know to quit taking it now before i get hives. the only reason that i'm rating it a 2 (and not a 1)is that my mother has been taking it for two years and calls it a miracle drug. she's never experienced any side effects. | F | 29 | 1 days | 7/15/2005 | 2 | depression | Can't catch my breath!!! Happened last year when I was taking wellbutrin, too. Thought it was from too much work stress, but now that it's happening again after a break from wellbutrin - I AM POSITIVE it is Wellbutrin. I'm on 150 sr 2x day. ANYBOBY HAVING THIS SYMPTOM IS NOT CRAZY. I also am quick to anger on it. That's another horrible side effect. I noticed that stopped when I went off Wellbutrin - so I know that's not just me. There must be a middle ground between complete paralyzing depression and feeling somewhat more functional with these side effects. Very, very frustrating this drug. And this life. | F | 38 | 1 days | 8/13/2007 | 2 | depression | My tongue felt as if I had burned it on hot coffee or something; It was very sensitive. Some foods tasted different. Cigarettes and coffee tasted nasty. | Even though I haven't taken Wellbutrin in 6 months, cigarettes and coffee still taste permanently nasty. | F | 46 | 1 days | 7/14/2006 | 2 | achoholism, depression. | i am very confused and paranoid i had to lock the bedroom door because im wigging so hard. im hearing things and i seen them in the dark of the hallway. hence, the locked doors. | would not recommend. its about trial and error. this one is a big fat ERRRRRRRORRRR for me. have heard some good recovery stories while taking this | M | 21 | 1 days 100 mg 2X day | 3/30/2017 | 2 | Depression | It's my first day taking Wellbutrin I am very nauseous, having crying spells, restless to do something but not wanting to interact with people or leave my house. I'm so sleepy but cannot sleep. I almost smashed my remote against the wall when my Netflix froze which is unlike me. All these symptoms started today. The only symptom I was experiencing prior to my first dose was on and off withdrawn from family/friends. I have felt numb and not able to cry so I was surprised at the changes today. I have paced the house several times feeling so restless. I am still continuing to try the med since its only day one. | F | 28 | 1 days 150 1X day | 5/11/2017 | 1 | To compliment Zoloft and lose weight | Good God! One night of hell! I didn't read the side effects first. My stomach hurt soooo bad, and yes I had food with it. I got hives all over my arm, the side from breast cancer lymph node extraction. Vomited all night long.... very sick now, agressive, agitated, and that's from one pill. I think I will tell my doc that this experiment was a fail. | Maybe more research is needed for the use with cancer patients, I just don't know. | F | 53 | 1 days 1 pill | 4/25/2015 | 1 | anxiety | after taking it i felt depressed, it brought my anxiety down and also the smoking which i want to stop smoking when i feel better not by some damn medication. this medicine sucks ass | M | 31 | 1 days 37.5 1X day | 5/6/2012 | 1 | anxiety | Visual hallucinations, Itchy skin, bad body sensations, speech inhibition and an inhibited feeling. Couldn't stand it. | Didn't work for me. | M | 23 | 1 days | 11/4/2004 | 1 | anxiety/ocd/lack of sex drive | My panic increased ten-fold 45 minutes after swallowing the pill. I had to take 2 mg of clonazepam just to calm down. It made my world a wacky, incoherent, scary place. | I've had friends with anxiety and depression disorders who have found wellbutrin to work wonders. I'm not trying to put others off. I was having an absolute lack of a sex drive and wellbutrin was given to me along with my celexa to increase my "sexability"- there was nothing sexy about it- I panicked. I know how scary these meds can seem, if it's prescribed & you're worried- maybe start with a low, low dose & work your way up. | F | 32 | 1 days | 9/6/2007 | 1 | Dysthmia | Agitation, fidgeting, spacey, increased anger, heart palpatations | This is my first day of taking 150mg Bupropion with my 100mg of zoloft (been taking zoloft for around 10 years). I don't think I'll take anymore Bupropion due to the side effects. I'm angry enough already-- don't need any more anger in my life. I hate the heart palpitations. | F | 40 | 1 days | 2/1/2008 | 5 | Depression and loss of libido | At first I started on 150mg for about one week and then stopped cause I felt like a panick attack was coming on. I started back on the drug a few days later with better results and felt much more energy. I had a lot of encouragement from others that had been taking this drug. I gradually increased the dosage to 300mg (over a 7 day period). It has helped me significantly. My libido is very high and I'm 61. I'm always thinking about sex. I even get spontaneous erections. Orgasims, like everyone has said, are very intense. My depression has lifted and I feel great. | If you are having a few side effects after initially taking this medication I wouldn't give up. Try cutting down on the dosage and gradually increasing it until your tolerance is built up. It takes time to work. I think I really noticed a difference after about 2-3 months on the drug. | M | 61 | 2 days | 11/7/2007 | 5 | Major Depressive Disorder | Insomnia, weight loss, decreased appetite, increased libido, rash, nausea | I haven't been taking it long, two days, and I woke up with a rash all over my body, it doesn't itch though. I just have small red spots all over. I have already noticed some weight loss. I feel a lot more emotionally stable, although a little nauseated. Have tried Zoloft and Prozac in the past with no relief, I think this one will do the trick, as long as the rash goes away. Does anyone have any experience with how long it will last? | F | 25 | 2 days | 10/12/2006 | 5 | Depression, ADD | I have very high hopes for this med, but just started taking it and am really sick. How long does the nausea last? | F | 44 | 2 days 150 | 1/26/2012 | 5 | low level depression and add | At first I had trouble sleeping through the night. | I take wellbutrin for low level depression and ADD. The drug has increased my energy. Also helps concentration. I have increaesed libido and intense orgasms. I call this the wonder drug. | M | 54 | 2 days | 8/3/2005 |
