| 4 | fibromyalgia | wt. loss | I have been on Wellbutrin about 4 weeks for fibromyalgia. Within a couple of days I noticed a marked increase in energy. I can't say I've had a decrease in pain, but the rise in my energy level makes the pain much more bearable. | F | 49 | 4 weeks | 11/11/2004 | 1 | anxiety | Hallucinations, body pain. | An hour after I took wellbutrin SR I started seeing all kinds of annying hallucinations and I was ichy as hell and it didn't ware off for a couple days. < Typical antidepressant reaction, but it lasted a little longer. | M | 23 | 1 times | 11/11/2004 | 1 | anxiety | Hallucinations, bad body sensations and a fear of getting wet or ichy. | Didn't work for me. | M | 23 | 1 days | 11/4/2004 | 4 | Depression | Mild insomnia, night sweats, upset stomach | It is still early for me, but so far, I am very pleased with this medication. I do not feel dopey or out of control. I notice it working, but I don't feel as though I am a different person. I am calmer, less likely to have extreme mood swings etc. I was so used to breaking down and crying for no reason that I am still feeling odd that it doesn't happen! | F | 23 | 8 days | 10/28/2004 | 5 | depression | nervousness that went away after 2 weeks | It saved my life. Wish i would have taken years ago.No sexual side effects either. | F | 25 | 2 years | 10/25/2004 | 5 | depression,anxiet and low sex drive | not many side effects at all, just hungry a lot and agitation and I seem to want sex a lot more woo hoo!!! I was really weepy too! | Im not on sr. Im on xl. and very much love It I feel so much better already, I want sex more and that Is so great, at least my husband thinks so, lol! I have energy that I never had before and I have switched to decaf coffee and tea or I get really agitated, but I still seem to have a lil caffeine every now and then,lol! I feel alive again and I still can't believe this has helped me with depression, I was getting pretty bad and didn't know where to turn so I want to thank you guys for rating this wonderful drug and giving me hope, I saw my dr, after reading your ratings :o) so then I prayed to the Lord, the one I always turn to before doing anything, I felt the Lord told me that everything was going to be okay now, so I knew that was my okay from the Boss-the Big guy- my father and savior , Jesus Christ :o) I am trying not to eat so much, Im not sure why Im hungry all the time? I thought It was to take my hunger away, but thats okay, I have been eating healthy, Instead of stuffing junk In my mouth like I know I love to do, Its kinda hard but this helps me to strive to be a better me :o) Sex has never been better, I don't mind getting out of bed now and living life to Its fullest, I was on Zoloft and felt like a zombie :o( I hope this helps everybody, If you are really depressed you need to give this a try! | F | 35 | 3 weeks | 10/18/2004 | 4 | Depression, | Increased energy and some irritability, insomnia, trouble staying asleep. Memory loss, spaciness, loss of reality. Anxiety at first. I anger pretty easily. Sex drive increased. | Lowering my dosage from 150 1x day to 75 mg 1x day still helps the depression so far and has given me some of my memory back. My doctor said it's okay to split the SR tabs. It's alot cheaper too. If you feel really bad on it, lower the dosage. I did and feel like I want to stay on it. I hope I'm not speaking too soon. Oh and it's helped me to stop biting my nails. It's been harder to not bite since lowering the dosage. | M | 26 | 5 weeks | 10/18/2004 | 2 | depression | metallic tast in mouth, increased appetite, ringing in ears, shakiness of hands | most people comment of losing their appetite, I swear mine increased! I think it was due to the increased energy/anxiety. It made me want to eat to calm myself down. | F | 39 | 1 months | 10/17/2004 | 5 | Bipolar II w/ depressive tendencies | Agitation at first. Also acid reflux. Both of these went away. I am taking this in conjunction with lamictal, a mood stablizer. I take a low dose of wellbutrin, 150mg a day. Wellbutrin is less likely than other antidepressants to a) cause sexual disfunction or decline in sex drive or b) to induce mania in bipolar patients, although this is still a possibility and it should always be used with a mood stablizer. | GSK has a program to help low income people without insurance. | M | 31 | 8 months | 10/13/2004 | 5 | depression | scary palipitations- had to stop taking it, but it worked while I did | F | 51 | 6 months | 10/10/2004 | 3 | quit smoking | tdtfk | hgjhg | F | 56 | 3 months | 10/9/2004 | 4 | Depression | Take 150mg 1 x day. Tried 300mg for a week, couldn't handle it. Somewhat increased anxiety, counteracted with Clonezepam, .25-.5mg at night. Helps with the sleep difficulties. BAD short term memory, but that could be the Clonazepam. Increased energy but bad headaches when I have 2-3 drinks. Do get irritable at times but at least I'm feeling a little more normal and feeling better about life. | I'm going to give it a chance since it hasn't seemed to kill my libido and I do feel better. | M | 26 | 4 weeks | 10/5/2004 | 2 | anxiety | dry mouth, increased anxiety, insomnia, not much else. | frustrated at lack of noticeable improvement in mood. been patient waiting for it to kick in but it has yet to do so. | F | 41 | 8 weeks | 10/2/2004 | 4 | ADHD / Depression / Smoking Cessati | Speedy feel when I started on it. A few crazy dreams Smoking became less enjoyable No effect on Libido Brain is operating faster, harder and longer than my body, around 4:00 pm my body catches up. | Overall few bad notes Have quit smoking one week after getting onto 150's Smoke a joint at night to get to sleep Mood swings have come under control Attention regulation has improved somewhat don't wind up in the depression pit or hole like i used to, allows me to deal with insane circumstances better.

I have never been so angry!!!!! | F | 48 | 1 weeks | 9/29/2004 | 4 | mild depression/smoking cessation | Dry mouth, clogged ears, constant waking during the night, anxious at times. | I am taking 150mg twice a day. Does not take nicotine withdrawls completely away, but has helped take the edge off the nicotine withdrawls. You still need to be dedicated and determined to quit. In 3 weeks I went from 2 plus packs a day to one cigarette a day and should be completely off in a day or so. I am definately in a better, upbeat mood since taking it. It hasn't lowered my libido, but actually raised my sexual desire. | M | 41 | 3 weeks | 9/24/2004 | 3 | don't know | M | 26 | | 9/24/2004 | 4 | depression | difficulty sleeping, shakiness | F | 47 | 1 years | 9/23/2004 |
