 5  Depression and Anxiety The first 3 days were like how other describe as a mild acid trip. There was no sleeping. After that things normalized quickly until i did not even noticed i was on any meds except i was less depressed. The anxiety took a few years to get under control. I also get 30x0.5mg xanax a month to stop any panic attacks when they start. I have never needed to increase my benzo because i refuse to use them in a way that builds tolerance. I may go a few days without taking one then i will have an attack and may need 3 over the course of the day. I didnt think much about drinking on Wellbutrin because i didnt notice a difference. Then i have read horror stories about combining drinking and Wellbutrin. I do not have those or any other ill effects but i dont recommend it for others due to what i read M 48 1 days

 2  Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction Light stimulation for half an hour when took 2 grams. Lower doses do nothing. Thought it would revive my libido as I have PSSD. It did not. Had no effect when taken at 150 mg once a day, so i took 13 150 mg tablets all at once (and crushed them first) (dangerous - do not repeat, risk of deadly seizure). Had light stimulation from that dose for a short while. No other side effects noticed. A very weak med for me. Expected more. M 22 1 weeks

 4  Depression Worked pretty well except it kicked in hypomania sometimes because I'm bipolar II so we had to lower the dose. But unfortunately after a time, it made me lose 18 pounds and I was already very slim – 5'10" inches and size 6. I looked anorexic and I had to eat like a horse just to maintain my low weight. It was out of control. If you need to lose weight, I might be a great option for you. I love that it didn't suppress my sex drive . F 48 30 days

 1  Anxiety Depression After 18 -you can only put up to 10 on the drop down menu here- 18 years plus on wellbutrin sr and thinking all of the hell I was going through on a daily basis was ME and that this was helping me from being even worse- I stopped taking it because I had extensive dental surgery and found out how it felt to be "normal"..even happy... I was put on many SSRIs that did not work. Doctors targeted my depression which was caused by my horrible anxiety. I got stuck with this drug as it is not an ssri as we found out the hard way, I could not tolerate ssris. People with anxiety READ THIS. 1. Docs are told to rx benzos with wellbutrin because it CAUSES anxiety. 2. Wellbutrin is processed by the body and turned into an AMPHETAMINE!! I started out life as a productive member of society and was turned into a sleepless, anxiety-ridden zombie reliant on benzos to keep the effects of the wellbutrin in check. Up to 6 mg of ativan. It took my memory, my patience, my ability to sleep...everything. If you have anxiety do not even consider this med. It may work for depression, but exacerbates anxiety!! Please let my story help you. Docs never told me this during my many hospital stays, reg. pdoc visits etc. Even though I was in horrible pain from my dental surgery... my mind felt happiness I have not felt in over 20 years once off wellbutrin sr. If you need to taper, look up how. I didn't. I went back on it two times and that was two times more hell, nightmares and prayers to God that my body could make it through one more time...I had to be sure wellbutrin was the cause though. Also, get your hands on Dr. Claire Weekes books, tapes whatever and listen to them over and over. They will bring you some peace while you recover. She is an angel for people like us! Good luck! Contact me if you want. F 48 10 years

 4  Depression I recently started experiencing brain fogginess and dizziness. Three years ago I experienced severe Vertigo with heaving. I attributed this new feeling with that. I was so dizzy at home this weekend I yelled my husband's name and he caught me as I hit the floor. I went to my ENT this morning and after a series of tests, including one with the audiologist, he is sure it's the Wellbutrin. I really don't want to stop it. I need to know if this is normal after one and a half months to first begin. I also now know where my itchiness is coming from after reading comments on this thread. Will the dizziness and fog end? It began recently, at least one month after beginning. F 60 1.5 months

 3  Bipolar depression dry mouth, rash, food taste different, heart rate fluctuates. This drug gave me the kick in the ass I needed to start moving. Just felt like I was in a hole with no way out. I started walking on my treadmill and dieting. I am afraid I will be a person with weight gain on this medication. My weight was a factor in my depression. I have such bad dry mouth that at times I find myself biting on the sides of my tongue. I take melatonin to go to sleep. So far so good. I just feel like my eyes hurt and they aren't open enough. So I try to keep them open wide which gives me a headache. Everyone is different with meds. I can tell you as I sit here drinking my tenth bottle of water today that dry mouth is terrible. I am hoping this drug will be successful. F 37 2 months

 2  Depression, social phobia Nausea, vomiting, hot flashes accompanied by sweating, extreme dizziness, headaches, decreased appetite, weight loss. I was prescribed Wellbutrin SR along with my Prozac and Klonopin, as my Prozac didn't seem to be helping my depression. After a month of taking this medication, I'm still experiencing intense side effects. I can't tell if this medication has helped my depression at all. The side effects don't seem like they are going to cease, and they are almost unbearable. F 23 1 months

 5  Major depression None. Changed my life. I was on cipralex for 8 months with no improvement, after 2 weeks on wellbutrin I started to feel like myself again. Had more energy, motivation, increased sex drive, and most importantly I got control back over my emotions. And that was all from just a 150mg dose. Can't recommend enough. F 28 1 years

 5  anxiety, insomnia, low mood Slightly increased desire for sweet things and increased appetite but this tapered off over a couple of weeks.After about a month I could sleep again and my concentration iimproved. Anxiety also much better. Didn't actively try to quit smoking but this got me to kick the habit within a month. Only thing is drinking is not a good idea...blackouts. The doctor thinks I may have been misdiagnosed and that my troubles are related to ADD. This medication has given me back the ability to sleep through the night.It has changed my life. F 31 3 months

 1  Bipolar, Cig Smoking No side effects, but this medication was pure crap! Might as well have taken a placebo. I didn't have any side effects at all but it didn't do a thing for me. My doc kept raising my dose, still didn't help, finally told her I refused to keep wasting money on her upping my dose for an ineffective med. I have bipolar and my docs insist I take an anti-depressant even though I am manic type bipolar, I don't have depression but they insist it will help ease anxiety. It was about as effective as a placebo. Also, I was told it'd help me quit smoking. Wrong. Went from smoking one pack of cigs every 4 days to smoking almost an entire pack per day. It made me feel like I wasn't getting nicotine at all, unacceptable to be running outside to smoke every 45 mins. F 29 42 days
