| 4 | Depression and anxiety | Dry mouth, extreme nausea if I didn't eat after I took the pill, vivid dreams, weight gain. | I've been on Wellbutrin (150mg, twice a day) for over 3 years. It has helped me a great deal with my depression, I cry a lot less ... I have gained weight but it might not be due to the medication. | F | 24 | 3 years | 7/7/2004 | 5 | Depression | This drug took me a while to get used to but it works. Terrible headaches at first, but it increased my energy and libido. It is a stimulating anti-depressant. | F | 33 | 3 years | 7/6/2004 | 3 | depression | Libido | M | 59 | 90 days | 7/5/2004 | 5 | | 7/2/2004 | 5 | depression | dry mouth, constant sexual arousal, constant desire for sex, stronger orgasms | I love what it does for me emotionally, but for the last 3 days I've been in a constant state of extreme sexual arousal. Usually starts late morning and doesn't go away or even subside. Very difficult to deal with, believe it or not. More often it feels like a curse rather than a blessing. Careful what you wish for... | F | 37 | 2 weeks | 6/29/2004 | 3 | MILD DEPRESSION | no real side effects, felt | could not control hands after getting off of it for almost a month. | F | 22 | 12 months | 6/28/2004 | 1 | Depression + Anxiety | I was never fully sold on Wellbutrin. My Anxiety increased, I became a lot more obsessive with negative thinking, and felt more depressed and hopeless. After about 3 weeks, I lost all appetite - could not eat a thing, and could not sleep. 3-4 weeks in I developed a bad case of hives all over...then joint pain and swelling - especially in my knee and feet. Also had menstrual like cramps and was a lot more emotional and less rational than normal... and I was only at 150 mg. | I know these drugs work differently for everyone, I might have just had bad luck with it. Some people do very well on it. I know that after having tried Zoloft (which worked well, but i had weight gain and sexual side effects), Lexapro (which made me completely crazy), and Wellbutrin - I'm going to try a different approach at curing my depression...These medications just don't seem worth it to me... Also - after going off Zoloft I experienced an awful crash and my depression became worst than ever... I'm at the point that I find the anti-depressants just aren't worth it. | F | 24 | 4 weeks | 6/28/2004 | 1 | Depression + Anxiety | I was never fully sold on Wellbutrin.

I didn't get the pleasure from smoking as I had before. After taking Wellbutrin for two week, the palms of my hands and soles of feet began to itch like crazy. I got off the WB and a week later I broke out in hives everywhere. I am now on the patch, and it works GREAT!! I haven't smoked, and have no cravings. | F | 39 | 2 days | 6/24/2004 | 5 | Depression/PTSD | Loss of appetite, out of the blue I experience an erection, sometimes at the worse times. Never thought about anything sexual in nature, just the erections came on there own. Everyday. | Works well, now that they have the XL, hope they don't stop making the SR | M | 37 | 1 years | 6/20/2004 | 2 | Depression/Anxiety | I became at first very tearful, then constantly anxious and angry. And, I suffered some sexual dysfunction (of the male variety) which could have just been because of the depression but could also have been the WB. | I have since learned that folks with anxiety should avoid WB. | M | 38 | 14 days | 6/20/2004 | 5 | | 6/18/2004 | 5 | | 6/18/2004 | 4 | WELLBUTRIN XR | Agitation, spacy feeling | This drug really helped pull me out of a suicidal depression...i am still in the early stages but it has definitely made me feel a lot better about life. | M | 31 | 24 days | 6/17/2004 | 4 | bipolar depresion | some itchy skin at times insomnia if taken to close to bed time some switches into hypo-mania if stopped and restartes a side effect i actually have sought at the dismay of doc. | i poop out on this drug but can have great effects and has saved me from the reall bottemless holes of my depression. | M | 41 | 9 years | 6/11/2004 | 3 | depression | none | I have not taken it long enough to have expectations. My wife says I am mellower. | M | 50 | 17 days | 6/10/2004 | 3 | Depression | Not sure ... I'm also taking Lexapro and Seroquel. | F | 39 | 1 months | 6/6/2004 | 5 | | 6/4/2004 | 5 | Depression | After 3 1/2 weeks on 150 mg: intense, I mean, INTENSE -- itching throughout my body, especially my armpits, neck, and pubic region. Slight shakiness and jitteriness. A little sweating. On the 2nd and 3rd day: extreme irrability but tapered off. | I like the high energy it provides me and the fact that I felt better after taking it. My doctor and I were talking about increasing my dosage. However, the side effect of itching is unbearable. Will talk to my doctor about whether it's possible that the itching will subside and finally go away. I has worked for me as far as my depression goes and I'd hate to give it up. | M | 32 | 4 weeks | 5/24/2004 | 5 | | 5/20/2004 |
