| 3 | depression | foggy .. cant sleep | M | 58 | 14 days | 8/5/2002 | 5 | depression | none | Since I started taking this prescription, I feel more energetic, am better able to focus and have a much better sense of wellbeing. | F | 40 | 30 days | 7/8/2002 | 4 | Quit smoking and depression | Disturbing chest pains and uptight feeling, insomnia which is no worse than my normal insomnia. I take 75 or 150mg of SR formulation 3 to 5 mornings a week to minimize these affects. | Originally prescribed to quit smoking, I took the recommended 300mg a day for that purpose when I was not depressed, and it made quitting very easy. I'd tried only twice before, and both failed attempts were really agonizing. 300mg a day was damned unpleasant, and I discontinued Wellbutrin ASAP after about 2 months, but it really did just make me almost indifferent to cigarettes, after 30 years of smoking 2 - 3 packs a day. About 6 months later, I started to get really depressed; I had some Wellbutrin left over, so I tried it, and it literally relieved depression in a matter of a half hour like an amphetamine without any addictive or "crash" affect. I used Prozac for 3 months after running out of it, but I now take the small dosage of Wellbutrin I use now as maintainance/relapse prevention. It's affects are energizing for 3-5 days in a row, then it turns "mean" and I take a few days off it. I remain in a good mood for 2-3 days during these "drug holidays", then resume taking it again when I start feeling down. It continues to bring virtually instant relief whenever I resume taking it. (If I felt that I could stop, I would.) I have ADHD also; Wellbutrin has slightly helped some of those symptoms, but is far inferior to amphetamines for that purpose. | M | 44 | 6 months | 6/29/2002 | 2 | to quit smoking & depression | none | No help in quiting my smoking :( and no help at all for depression :( | F | 42 | 1 months | 6/18/2002 | 4 | Stop smoking | Chest heaviness. Hard to catch a breath | M | 42 | 3 days | 5/30/2002 | 4 | to stop smoking | insomnia, increased appetite, | F | 28 | 3 months | 4/18/2002 | 5 | smoking cessation/depression | I noticed when I took it in the summer I would itch horribly to sun exposed areas. So I waited to take it in the fall to quit smoking. After the suggested time to set the quit date, I could quit "cold turkey." It worked wonderfully, took away those jittery feelings you get when you just have to have a cigarette without gaining weight, in fact I lost weight. It seemed to take away my appetite which I didn't mind at all. | I continued on Wellbutrin along with Paxil to help with some depression after the breakup of a relationship. | F | 38 | 6 months | 1/25/2002 | 4 | ADHD | None | Has worked very well for my son in treating his ADHD | F | 24 | 6 months | 1/2/2002 | 4 | Stop Smoking | I would be up till 2 in the morning and wake up for no reason like 2 hrs before my alarm went off but not be tired all day, after several days lost desire to smoke, now smoke free for 1month 1 week and have stopped taking wellbutrin 2 weeks ago | For some reason while taking it i never got mad! | M | 19 | 3 weeks | 11/27/2001 | 3 | depression, unable to concetrate | i think that some of the side affects were drowsiness, and about two weeks after I started taking it I had a mild case of hives. I am not sure however if that was caused by the medicine or not. | F | 15 | 1 times | 4/2/2001 |
