| 5 | depression | none | I want to thank the person who suggested the web site for obtaining my medication at a VERY reasonable price. THANK YOU!! I can not afford the $400.00 co-pay my insurance company was asking. And to the person who suggested the 'tier option".. been there- done that..NO go... NO exceptions. | 53 | 10 years 150mg 1X day | 4/22/2011 | 5 | depression/ADD | Some very mild nausea, possible increased arousal with slight increase in blood pressure | I was doing a medical residency with tough work requirements when I again began to take WXL. I have some attention problems but with an IQ of 139 I have been able to skate throught life anyway, untill real hard. all-week intellectual demands in a dreary rural environment. I could not keep track of the endless, pointless paperwork I had to do after seeing patients and wellbutrin made a very clear, probably critical difference in both (1) Feeling I could enjoy myself part of the4 day ( 300 mg did not completely remit my depression) AND (2) Being organized enought to do the paperwork. Also, was able to have sex fine. although part of my depression was living alone in the sticks (styx?) social tension with authority figures still was a problem which paxil worked better for but I hate feeling sexually neutered. | 49 | 5 years | 12/31/2005 | 5 | depression/mood swings | This is a timed release drug, anyone using the 150 mg then switching to the 300 mg dose, you will see significant difference in only a matter of weeks, or at least hopefully you will. Several of my friends take this and it took them the same amount of time as I did to feel the difference, after six months of being on it, I look back and cannot even believe the person before was actually me. I am back to the old me, only better. I feel the fog lifted, I enjoy my family life more, I am energetic, and I don't feel strange. It has helped me significantly. It makes me still feel like me, only without the sadness and severe mood swings. I am going through pre-menopause at 41 years of age. I cannot take hormone therapy because it makes me violently ill, and I am also afraid of the terrible side effects from HRT or other hormone treatments. The side effects of Wellbutrin are only positive for me, and my husband and kids think I am back to my old self, before the mood swings and depress | 41 | 10 months | 3/19/2007 | 5 | chronic fatigue | First few weeks headache and a bit foggy. Constant dry mouth. Higher sex drive. Trouble sleeping for the first 3 weeks but no longer fatigued. | I cannot drink more than 1 drink at happy hour. I had 2 and it felt like 5. Then I got a severe headache and started shaking for about 30 mins about an hour after the drinks. | 30 | 35 days | 3/12/2007 | 5 | Depression | None to complain about. Slighly nauseous for a few days but nothing I couldn't live with. | Was on Zoloft prior to Wellbutrin, and experienced every side effect in the book. Not with this medication. I started to feel better after a few days. After two weeks I can say I feel human again. People have commented on my mood and how much better I seem. I do have some problems with insomnia, but I have had that forever. Would higly recommend this as I feel it saved my life. | 30 days | 3/3/2006 | 5 | stop smoking | rapid heartbeat for the first few weeks, increased libido, weight loss, dry mouth, increased urination, weird dreams, sad for the first few weeks (but I was also going through a break up so I'm not sure if it was that or the meds or a combination of the 2) | LOVE IT!!! In a matter of 3 weeks I was no longer smoking. It is 3 months later and I find myself standing next to smokers at a bar and not wanting one. I have also lost 15 pounds! I am hoping to drop another 10 and I will be at my ideal weight for the first time since high school. I also find myself thinking about sex alot more and definitely wanting it more. I feel terrible for the people who have had bad results with this drug, because it has been AMAZING for me! | 30 | 3 months | 7/23/2005 | 5 | | 1/8/2009 | 5 | moody and get angry easy | constipation | The only side effect I have experienced with WXL is constipaton. I took 150mg for 1 wk then started the 300mg. Did not have constipation with the 150mg but did with the 300mg. I really do not want to have to stop WXL. It has really helped with my moodiness and feeling angry all the time. My kids seem happier because I am not getting angry over little things (like a wet floor after bathtime). I was leaving work everyday with a headache and since starting WXL I leave work with no headache and a smile on my face which is very unusal for me. I really do not want to stop WXL!!!! | 4 weeks | 6/29/2008 | 5 | Anxiety attacks | First few days I left flighty, music sounded distorted and felt zaps in my head!! After that, everything improved dramatically. Still have dry mouth and crazy dreams | Relieved my anxiety. I was having anxiety attacks that had symptoms that resembled a heart attack. Very frightening. I am much calmer, and it keeps my anger in check. I tried Paxil and Celexa before this, and it made me gain weight and made me lazy! | 58 | 10 days 300 mg 1X day | 4/6/2015 | 5 | Depression | Lost 20lbs energy increase. Slight jitters appetite was affected otherwise this medicine works well for me | Good medicine just don't let the immediate side effects spook you | 39 | 4 months 450 mg 1X day | 1/15/2021 | 4 | | 6/3/2008 | 4 | | 3/28/2007 | 4 | | 11/11/2006 | 4 | Smoking Cessation | So far a little confusion/lack of focus; otherwise, good. Feel very positive today. Cigarettes are already tasting bad... | 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. | 1 days | 9/26/2007 | 3 | depression, anxiety | 4 months | 2/1/2007 | 3 | Low energy, minor depression | None detected. I don't eat well, use recreationally here and there, and generally don't take care of myself. Nothing I deal with is Wellbutrin related and if it is it is very mild. | Take in am. Noticeable increased energy especially in morning. Strong coffee really ratchets that up. Skip lunch occasionally. That high energy disappears once I'm home from work with the kids. Exhausted. Damn kids. Hasn't done anything for depression. Found out I have low-t and started andogel 5 days ago. Not feeling anything from that. Doing both now per doc. He acts like the planets will align in a couple months. I'm doubtful, but willing to try. Might have to ask for some Viagra and triple up!! | 40 | 4 months 300 MG 1X day | 2/15/2015 | 3 | | 9/19/2009 | 3 | 1 days | 12/1/2013 | 3 | Depression added to effexor xl | 1 days | 4/6/2014 | 1 | | 7/17/2007 |
