| 2 | Depression/Anxiety | Racing heart, unable to sleep, nervouseness, anxiety. | M | 40 | 3 days | 8/22/2004 | 5 | Depression | For the first few weeks, I had difficulty sleeping. I also noticed that I was somewhat quicker to anger than before. Also, my male libido has been greatly enhanced, almost to the point of being bothersome! | After taking Zoloft, Wellbutrin has really been a godsend. The side effects are really quite minimal compared to other antidepressant meds, and if you change dosages, you feel the effects in days and not weeks. | M | 38 | 7 years | 8/16/2004 | 4 | depression | dry mouth | F | 66 | | 8/14/2004 | 2 | anxiety and depression | panic attacks | If you experience anxiety more than depression, don't take Wellbrutrin. Since I was already anxious, the Wellbutin intensified the panic. | F | 38 | 7 days | 7/26/2004 | 1 | Depression/Anxiety | Dizziness, sleepiness, increased libido, itchy rash | I had been taking Zoloft for 9 months but was unhappy with the weight gain, so my doctor gave me Wellbutrin. It was a nightmare from Day One. At first, I was constantly falling asleep during the day. As soon as I went up to a 300mg dosage, I broke out in an itchy red spotty rash that made me look like I had taken a bath in Stinging Nettle. I hate, hate, hate this stuff. It should be called Sickbutrin. I'm glad it worked for some of you, especially the smokers, but I hope I can get put on something else. | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 7/22/2004 | 4 | depression | Jittery, nervousness. | It's great, but makes you a little nervous. I don't think it will help anyone to stop smoking. | F | 42 | 8 months | 7/21/2004 | 5 | fatigue | none | i love it, its a miracle drug. | F | 45 | 1 months | 7/20/2004 | 2 | Smoking/Depression | Fogginess,dizziness,feeling of a headcold, extremely anxious, irritable at the drop of a hat, spontaineous crying bouts over nothing, itchy skin, complete loss of apetite, and at 125 pounds i really dont need to lose any more weight :-\ | even though it did help me with quitting smoking, no cravings what so ever, the side effects are enough to make me ( or anyone ) think twice about this drug... | M | 22 | 2 weeks | 7/14/2004 | 4 | major depression | decrease in appetite, lost 18 lbs. also experienced frequent severe headaches, constipation, trouble remembering, confusion, very rapid heart rate, and actually felt pretty euphoric when i first started the medication. | Wellbutrin has really changed my life, although i am not completely recovered from major depression, my views on life have changed for the better. This drug gave me an ease of mind, energy, motivation, happiness, and helped me concentrate. I love wellbutrin, it helped me so much. I was on 450mg of XL. | F | 20 | 7 months | 7/9/2004 | 3 | Depression | Seems to help. On XL. Just a few headachs but now starting to feel a little dizzy. Hope it goes away | F | 33 | 7 days | 7/6/2004 | 2 | depression | couldn't take more than 33 mg before I had huge headaches and couldn''t sleep. Made me aggressive/grouchy. | F | 51 | 10 months | 7/3/2004 | 4 | stop smoking & depression | felt great on 150mg for two weeks, switched to 300mg for the last week, and tried to quit smoking. Since trying to quit have been increasingly irritable, developed a head cold, may be unrelated but isn't making things any better. Felt better on 150mg but want the cigs even less on 300. | I like it, hope these aches and pains don't have anything to do with it. When that wasn't around I felt great. | M | 30 | 23 days | 7/1/2004 | 3 | depression | dry mouth, sleep loss, sweating | worked well after 3.5 weeks, but now I am at week 5, and for a few days it seems to have lost some effectiveness. | M | 50 | 5 weeks | 6/29/2004 | 1 | Depression | No effect at all, did nothing for my depression. | F | 27 | 2 months | 5/25/2004 | 3 | Depression | Weight gain, dizziness, headaches, blurred vision in left eye, EXTREME irritability, a slight return of Libido, had been taking prozac for 4 years, I am now going back to Prozac, however I will miss the energy from the Wellbutrin. Back to the Red Bull!!! | Not a bad drug, just had too many side effects for me. Might work wonders for others, worth a try. | F | 36 | 1.5 months | 5/17/2004 | 4 | | 5/7/2004 | 5 | postpartum/anxiety/ADD | The first week I felt like I was on speed. But I could still sleep. Not hungry at all. My doctor prescribed this to go with my Zoloft. | I was initally on Zoloft 150. But it totally killed my sex drive and I was sooo tired. My mood was ok. Not good, not bad. After the first week, my drive came back! I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 150 mixed with Zoloft 150 now for 3 weeks and I feel GREAT! | F | 31 | 3 weeks | 5/3/2004 | 4 | Mild Depression | itchy skin | I started taking Wellbutrin after Zoloft stopped working. I also had gained 30 lbs while on zoloft. Have lost 10 lbs since the switch. | 35 | 3 weeks | 5/3/2004 | 4 | F | 26 | 4 days | 4/28/2004 | 3 | Depression and Anxiety | After about 4 weeks of use, I broke out in a huge rash, hives and severe joint stiffness/pain. I went to the Hospital ER where I passed out and was given an adrenaline shot. I was admitted for three days and put on an IV to flush my system and 3 weeks worth of prednisone. Horrible experience. | Other than the side effects, this drug worked the best for curbing my depression and anxiety. | M | 29 | 4 weeks | 4/28/2004 |
