| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR WELLBUTRIN SR | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | clinical depression | bad taste in mouth, very slight tremors especially in the hands, depressed sexual function (delayed orgasm), increased sensitivity to warm temperatures (prefer cold rooms). | Did a wonderful job pulling me up from the pit. Within a few months I was back to normal, and able to cope with life's little and big bumps. | M | 61 | 18 months | 4/30/2003 | 3 | smoking | no effects at all so far | I am in awe of those who can tell which effects are due to which drug. I have ups & downs but I take vitamins & other drugs too, plus occasional exercise. How would I know which causes what? | M | 61 | 5 days | 4/28/2006 | 5 | anxiety | ringing in ears | I take my dose at bedtime. Most people think this is crazy, but it eliminates any anxiety during the day that might occur shortly after taking a dose, because I am asleep! | F | 60 | 10 months 150 sr 1X day | 1/20/2016 | 5 | Depression | Jittery, but mostly only with caffeine,crying jags, more talkative, and possibly severe dizziness and nausea. | I finally (after several years of various antidepressants)feel "normal" again. Alcohol doesn't bother me with this med, although I don't drink much anyway. Caffeine definitely gets me uncomfortably jittery. Main concern is I suddenly (after 5 weeks)developed nausea and extreme dizziness, but not sure if that's from Wellbutrin. | F | 60 | 5 weeks | 11/16/2007 | 4 | Depression | I recently started experiencing brain fogginess and dizziness. Three years ago I experienced severe Vertigo with heaving. I attributed this new feeling with that. I was so dizzy at home this weekend I yelled my husband's name and he caught me as I hit the floor. I went to my ENT this morning and after a series of tests, including one with the audiologist, he is sure it's the Wellbutrin. I really don't want to stop it. I need to know if this is normal after one and a half months to first begin. I also now know where my itchiness is coming from after reading comments on this thread. | Will the dizziness and fog end? It began recently, at least one month after beginning. | F | 60 | 1.5 months 150MG 1X day | 10/5/2015 | 2 | yes 100mg sr once in the morning | insmonia for first 5 days then gradualy subsided increased libido which has always been high complete loss of ability to ejaculate or orgasam after 4 days very frustrating to me. must seek a different med. remeron just caused a decrease in sensation, may return to that | how long should it take for ejaculation and orgasam to return to normal ??? | M | 60 | 10 days | 10/7/2006 | 1 | depression and energy loss | for the first (and I hope only) time in my life I had persistant visual hallucinations. Having never had them I thought the "worms" I was seeing when my eyes were closed were real and then I thought I saw them moving on my face. It was very scary and I am going off it now. Not slowly Now. My GP thinks I am delusional and I have had a lot of funny looks because I told a few people about this when I thought it was real and I had some strange tropical illness. I don't know if others have had this problem, but it scared me a lot | F | 60 | 3 months | 1/12/2009 | 4 | libido | Increased energy, libido. | Increased dose after 2 weeks from 150-300mg xl. For two weeks it has improved my libido and have had firm erections during the night and morning, etc. I was on vacation at the time and perhaps the stress free environment helped as well. Upon returning from vacation, I have had a few down days where libido is low and so is energy. I haven't changed the dose though. I'm hoping for more improvement after taking the full dose of the drug after 4-5 weeks. | M | 59 | 1 months | 4/27/2005 | 4 | OCD depression | Loss of appetite, slight brain fog | This is the only drug that has been prescribed to me that I will take. I have taken this drug on and off for 20. Back in the day when they discovered this drug helps with smoke cession it' s cost went from 10 dollars a month to 150 a month. At that time I decided to go off of Wellbutrin. After a month without the drug I realized that the drug helped me get out of bed and function in the real world. Without the drug I couldn't hold a conversation with anyone without becoming overwhelmed and anxious. I couldn't leave the house without feeling doom and gloom. My world was turned upside down I must say it works for me . I have a lot of pains and aches, sweats. I really can't contribute this to Wellbutrin. I have tried Paxil, Buspar , Xanax, and many assorted drugs that are supposed to help. Wellbutrin is the only one that I can tolerate that works for me . I am also a smoker and when I am on Wellbutrin I have really cut back a lot. . Yes , it kills your appetite, but I am an over eater so it has helped me maintain my weight for 20 years! | F | 59 | 20 years 150 2X day | 2/23/2013 | 3 | depression | Libido | M | 59 | 90 days | 7/5/2004 | 2 | stop smoking | I started Wellbutrin SR to stop smoking. The second day I started having weird insomnia. I never had any sleep problems before. I would go to sleep at about 11PM and awaken 2-3 hours later, wide awake in the middle of the night and unable to go back to sleep for 4 hours. Then, I would be able get only 2 more hours of sleep before being up for the day. This is now 4 days straight without a decent night's sleep and I am starting to get annoyed not to mention exhausted. Yes, if the insomnia continues I will speak to my doctor. | M | 59 | 5 days | 4/6/2006 | 2 | smoking | insomnia for 1st week. some increase in agitation. | taking wellbutrin sr 150 mg 2x day to stop smoking. after 2 weeks I see no effect on my smoking whatsoever. if anything, it made me want to smoke MORE due to increased agitation. | M | 59 | 14 days | 4/15/2006 | 5 | PTSD-Depression | Vivid Dreams,minor night sweats | Feel better, back pain which I've had for over three years is gone. Morning erections,erotic dreams. Good stuff.one week 75 mg. two weeks now 150 mg. | M | 58 | 3 weeks | 5/29/2006 | 4 | depression | some restlessness and slight anxiety; physical side efects, aches in muscles & joints; hemmorhoids and pain in sitting; some irritability; exhaustion getting up in morning; some headaches; felt a little too "robot-like" | did make me more alert and lifted my depression; was more focused and less "out of it" - did not interfere with sexual functions. (I did combine this with other anti-depressants) | M | 58 | 4 months | 12/18/2001 | 4 | Depression | I had to adjust the dosage and time of day I took it because it kept me awake at night. I also take Zoloft, which makes me cotton-headed, so Wellbutrin was added to counteract that. Together they do OK -- nothing bothers me. On the other hand, my life meets only minimum standards, and I can't seem to ramp it up any. Oh, well(!). | F | 58 | 3 years | 1/9/2005 | 3 | stop smoking | messed with my memory,cant sleep,not hungry,hot tongue when i smoke and dry mouth. | I tried to quit smoking after taking for two weeks, it helped, but i have been smokig for 40 years. I am going to try again on my 4th week. I am not going to give up yet. | F | 58 | 3 weeks | 11/4/2005 | 2 | depression | Worms feeling in my legs, bumcheeks burning sensation,ear ringing,right eye twitching. | F | 58 | 1 days 150 | 5/23/2015 | 2 | Depression and anxiety | I forgot already. Oh right -memory loss!!!! My memory loss is getting worse -not sure why but to eliminate (it juts took me about 5 seconds to figure out how to spell that word) -notice how I spell "just" as "juts" -its like a dyslexia of sorts - I misspell words all the time -often the same words over and over! Very odd. | I have had weight loss -225 down to 205. Ringing in the ears, manic times of speaking, very poor memory, poor decision making or inability to decide on anything. I have lost my home, job and wife these past 4 years. Is it the pill - or?? Its odd that so many of us have the same symptoms though. I would not be surprised of class action suit any day now due to the memory loss side affect. Did I say poor memory already...? :-) I am getting off this stuff asap -slowly but surely. I want to see how I am "naked" without this drug and go from there - will memory come back, will tinitus stop and will I spell correctly again... this could be quit a ride. | M | 58 | 5 years | 12/29/2009 | 1 | depression | stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness | I just started it yesterday and felt fine. Today I took it at 7am., went to work and started having nausea and stomach pain. I had to leave work which I have never done and I have been vomiting since and the pain is just now subsiding. I am also allergic to most other anti-depressants so I was hopeful about this one but I'm not taking it any more | F | 58 | 2 days | 4/21/2008 | 5 | Depression / Smoking Cessation | Some constipation, difficulty sleeping, muscle aches. | Have taken just about every kind of SSRI over a period of 10 years, and believe they almost killed me. Wellbutrin is the very best -- absolutely wonderful! Don't feel like a zombie, more energetic, able to get things done, feel human, and much happier in social situations. Totally takes the edge off of my supersensitivity. Still smoking, but decreased by one half and believe will eventually be able to stop with the help WB. Plan on long term use as maintenance for depression. Started out with 150 mg, went to 300 mg after two weeks. | F | 57 | 4 months | 10/5/2005 |
