| 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 | 5 | OCD/depression | No real side effects, except for slight appetite loss and I have already started to lose weight. | Already this is the best anti-depressant I have taken. I was worried about taking it due to all the negative reviews, but in a week I am already starting to feel a lot better. My mood has lifted, I feel more motivated and have less negative and obsessive thoughts. Other anti-depressants have worked well in the past, but have always caused me to gain weight, so I have always come off them. I am also taking 50mgs Sertraline. I am really please with the drug and have found it a lot easier to get up in the morning. | F | 31 | 7 days 150mg 1X day | 1/20/2013 | 3 | Bipolar 2/Anxiety/OCD | hieghtened anxiety, insomnia | I have always taken other meds with Wellbutrin, so I am actually not sure how effective it is on its own (starting to wonder if it is at all?)I do know that my anxiety level increases with every med increase of this drug. I developed periodic insomnia with Wellbutrin. | F | 29 | 3 years 300mg 1X day | 4/15/2010 | 4 | binge eating, ocd | muscle and joint aches, like speed feeling. | I loved it because I have been able to loose 40 lbs in 1 year. Haven't been able to get the scale to move in 15 years! | F | 49 | 365 days | 5/22/2008 | 4 | Counter Effexor side effects (OCD) | increased sex drive (not complaining), some initial weight loss (again, no complaints here), possibly increased my acne - it's difficult to know if it is the cause but I do break out more now. The first week or so I felt agitated, anxious and couldn't sleep but those effects wore off by the end of 2 weeks. | I have taken Wellbutrin alone and in conjunction with Effexor. It did help counter some of the side effects of effexor. While taking it alone, it definitely improved my mood and I had virtually no side effects (other than the possible increase in acne). Wellbutrin alone does not help my OCD very much though. It helps it slightly, and also helps the depression that goes along with it, but Wellbutrin alone is not enough to give me the full relief I need. I highly recommend it though and I also encourage people to stick it out for a few weeks because the way I felt when I started it was totally different than how I felt after being on it for a few weeks. | F | 33 | 4 years | 7/18/2007 | 4 | Depression/OCD/ADD | Wellbutrin off-sets the sedating effects of other drugs. It increases libido and sexual ability. I sleep 1 hour less when taking it. My physical energy, immune system, and stamina all increase. Since taking it I catch many fewer colds than before. | I have Tourette Syndrome as well as low level depression, OCD and ADD. Wellbutrin (bupropion) slightly increases my tics, but that effect seems to subside after a couple months. It treats my depression WONDERFULLY with only beneficial side effects - improved libido, weight loss, more energy. However, it does not really improve symptoms of ADD/OCD. I thought it did, but after about 2 months it fizzled out. There are other ADD/OCD drugs which work much better. But for depression only, this is one of the BEST options. There was no real difference between 150 mg SR vs. 300 mg SR per day, so the lower the dose, the better. | M | 38 | 4 years | 11/3/2006 | 3 | OCD and anxiety | abdominal pain/bloated feeling, complete loss of appetite/feel full all the time, nausea, increased panic attacks. But have only been on it for 2 weeks. | I have been a smoker for 18 years. I did not start Wellbutrin to quit smoking, but after just 2 weeks of taking it, I have not had a smoke in 3 days. I hope the sick feeling in my stomach and abdomen goes away, and I really hope the panic attacks stop, but I'm willing to stick with it because I've tried almost everything out there and I just want to feel normal/ | F | 35 | 2 weeks | 6/3/2005 |
