Weird jaw tension, too. My memory of amphetamines is distant but I remember them being sort of like that. After a year I still get more acne than I used to and am constipated most of the time. | I took Zoloft for 7 years before it stopped working for me. Wellbutrin helped me pull out of a big-time tailspin but I honestly liked Zoloft better. After a six month break from Zoloft I now take 150 mgs of that again, plus 150 mg Wellbutrin which does help counteract that famous sexual numbing from the SSRIs. | F | 37 | 2 years | 3/4/2004 | 2 | depression | very wired, could not sleep! complete loss of appetite | this medicine done nothing for my depression symptoms, it did although start me on the road to my weight loss. If I ever decide I need to lose weight fast, this is the drug of choice, and did not effect my heart rate like caffeine would. | F | 39 | 1 months | 2/12/2004 | 4 | drepression | The effects come on very slowly -- over the course of a couple of weeks -- and are very subtle.

Last night I had horrible nightmares. Today I feel nauseaus, shakey, have a headache and can't stop crying. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm supposed to double my dosage tomorrow, but I can't reach my doc because it's the weekend. I'm petrified. What should I do? | I gotta admit ... I have never had as fast and terrific orgasm as I did last night. | F | 38 | 3 days | 10/18/2003 | 1 | depression and joint pain | menstrual-like stomach cramps, 7# weight gain 17 days, continuous appetite, head pressure, tearfulness, less | menstrual-like stomach cramps, 7# weight gain 17 days, continuous appetite, head pressure, tearfulness, less | F | 49 | 17 days | 10/12/2003 | 4 | migraines and depression | i really cant say i noticed any cuz i take so many other medicines its hard to tell what with what | id reccommend it to try but i cant say its a miracle drug | F | 17 | 1 years | 9/26/2003 | 3 | | 8/11/2003 | 4 | depression/ ADD | One of the side effect I noticed was an increase sensitivity to the sun in which I had wear sunglasses consisantly. Another side effect I noticed occured as the blood sugar rose,(over 200)(I'm a diabetic) I had to wear my glasses.(Before wellbutrin-I didn't need the glasses as much.) | Taking wellbutrin gave me a CAN DO attittude I didn't have before the medication. I noticed this effect within the first couple of weeks and was able to accomplish projects that I would not normally do. It also allowed me to focus more attention in longer spurts. In addition, the stress that normally was on my shoulders was relocated to the left shoulder blade. (For me,it was great NOT to have stress on the shoulders for once). (I switched to prozac, to see if the medication changed the side effects- yes, the side effects of sun sensitivity,increased glasses wearing HAVE GONE AWAY,in addition, the stress IS back on the shoulders again.) | F | 40 | 6 months | 7/3/2003 | 3 | depression | unable to get to sleep | F | 60 | | 1/9/2003 | 1 | For smoking & mild depression? | Within 2 days (taking 150mg once a day) I had a lot of anxiety, and faster heart rate, Headache, irritability, insomnia, aggitation. A metallic taste and all my jewlery left a black/green mark on my skin. Negative thinking, sad, sentimental. | I continued with it for 2 more weeks, really trying to give it the benefit of a doubt. 'But things got even worse...Crying at the drop of a hat, (even watching Lassie,) all my emotions were at a highly sensitive edge or extreme. Happy or sad, crying or laughing, and I'm NOT Manic/Depressive. Usually very even keeled. In fact I didn't feel depressed at all, UNTIL I took this. My physician 'thought' I was and this was a compromise to help with the smoking. NEVER AGAIN.
