| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 4 | Depression, mood swings | Weeks 1-2: Nausea, brain fog, no appetite, weight loss (yeah!), vivid, but weird dreams Weeks 3-4: Mild nausea, sweats (throughout the day) Weeks 5 - current: Rash/hives all over my body (no respector of parts!) Rash on body is gone, but still have rash and hives on my head (Dr. calls it "Dermatitis") | I am taking Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia. That has caused me to gain weight and become depressed. Within a week of taking Wellbutrin, I noticed subtle changes in my attitude and overall outlook on life. I didn't want to stay locked up in my bedroom. I didn't mind socializing with family and friends. After the initial side effects left I was thankful. Then I got a rash from head to toe and everywhere in between! Now the rash/hives are solely on my head and back of neck. My doctor said I had "contact dermatitis" - lovely! [sarcasm] but she cannot say it's from the Wellbutrin but isn't ruling it out. I don't know if I want to stop the Wellbutrin SR because it's working so well for my depression..... | F | 46 | 3 months 100mg 2X D | 10/25/2012 | |
