| 5 | | 5/20/2004 | 3 | Bi-polar Cyclothymia | Anxiety attacks, tremors, sore throat, chest pains, weepy. | I'm the fellow who gave Wellbutrin a | M | 38 | 4.5 years | 5/20/2004 | 3 | depression | don't sleep much and when i do i dream alot..I never use to. | F | 46 | 1 months | 5/19/2004 | 1 | Slight depression | Significant increase in blood pressure (normally my blood pressure is on the low side and this stuff made it go up by 30 points), significant hand shaking when trying to do small motor functions (i.e. writing, combing hair, etc.), weepy. | Wouldn't recommend it. | F | 47 | 30 days | 5/19/2004 | 1 | Major depression | Constant ears ringing. | Switched from Paxil which eventually became too sedating. Wellbutrin had no effectiveness at all on my depression. | M | 45 | 3 months | 5/19/2004 | 1 | Bipolar disorder | Mania after the first dose | If you have Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and have periods of high mania, you may experience the same thing I did. | F | 51 | 4 days | 5/19/2004 | 5 | depression, possible bipolar | loss of appetite | This medication has been a life saver! My previous doctors prescribed other medication that seemed to work for a few months, but never seemed to stay working, but Wellbutrin SR has completely changed my life for the better. I used to literally have to choose whether I wanted to be happy or depressed, there was no inbetween, and then later that day, I would be the exact opposite of my choice. Now that I am taking Wellbutrin, I don't have to make that choice. I have absolutley nothing bad at all to say about Wellbutrin SR. By the way ZOLOFT IS A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DRUG! IT IS THE CAUSE OF INSOMNIA, NOT WELLBUTRIN! I HAD INSOMNIA AFTER ZOLOFT AND SINCE I HAVE BEEN TAKING WELLBUTRIN, I AM MORE ABLE TO SLEEP! | F | 17 | 3 years | 5/17/2004 | 5 | | 5/13/2004 | 5 | | 5/12/2004 | 5 | PANIC ATTACKS | SLEEPLESSNESS | WORKS WELL | F | 33 | | 5/11/2004 | 3 | Depression and Anxiety | Marked forgetfullness. Went back to school to get my Masters degree and could not mentally perform as I did before. I feel tired all the time. Helped that anxious gut wrenching feeling very much. Helped me not worry as much and ruminate things over and over in my head. It has suppressed my appetite (a good thing). Has not effected my sex drive or given me dry mouth as Prozac did. | Works well, but causes major memory problems and I find myself having trouble focusing and visuallt encoding information. I make many more mistakes now, where as before, I did not---I have felt like a total idiot/air head since startng the Welburin SR regime. Would not recommend to those that need to keep a mental edge, quick thinking in their profession. | F | 33 | 365 days | 5/9/2004 | 5 | depression | weight loss (15#); parkinsonism | M | 72 | 5 months | 5/6/2004 | 5 | Depression | My penis get much harder when I am aroused. This stizzle is the shizzizzle. | Yummy, Yummy | M | 32 | 3 months | 5/5/2004 | 5 | Depression/Anxiety | Spaciness, bad short-term memory (both contribute to overall feeling of ditziness -- I firmly believe this even though my psychiatrist begs to differ), very vivid dreams, sleepiness. | Wellbutrin has changed my life completely for the better. I am a functional human being! I have noticed in the past 18 months that I have a distinct problem with holding onto thoughts sometimes. This however is 100x better than being on Zoloft and feeling completely unconnected with my emotions. | F | 25 | 18 months | 5/4/2004 | 4 | depression, anxiety | increased agitation, spacey, racing like on cheap speed. Sometimes overwhelming. Stay up too late, wake up too early. Too much energy! Shaky. Side effects pretty bad at times. | was switched to XL, made agitation worse. Might go back to SR or lower dose. Have been told I can't cut the pills to decrease dose...have any of you cut the pills? Sex drive better. depression better. But way too speedy. Was on Serzone before; liked it better but had to get off due to seizure risk causing my insurance co. to not cover it anymore. | F | 47 | 1 years | 5/2/2004 | 3 | depression/anxiety | headaches, suicidal ideation, insomnia, lethargy, increased depression, drowsiness, decreased appetite, anxiety, mood swings | I've been off/on with this drug for about 3 yrs. Usually, it works wonders for me, but this time around, it has appeared to increase my depression, & made me somewhat paranoid. I am at 300 mg. I'm going to wait another week to see if this improves. I know that it has worked very well with me in the past, so I'm willing to face any beginning side effects to get to feeling the way I have reacted to the drug in the past. | F | 23 | 4 days | 4/27/2004 | 5 | Bi-polar Cyclothymia | Can cause insomnia if taken too late in the day. Mild headaches at first that disappeared. Random hiccups. | After 14 different meds, this is the one that brought me to a wonderful, sane, productive, emotional, thoughtful place. Since it's the same as the drug ceasation drug Zyban, after I took it for a while, I found I had no desire for caffeine or junk food. | M | 37 | 4 years | 4/23/2004 | 4 | depression & chronic migraines | the worse side effect is dryness, my mouth, skin and now I have no tears. But the med is working too well to change. I just wish there was a way to do something about the dryness. Have to use eye drops 4 times a day and for a women with makeup that is a mess. It I talk much, my whole mouth dries up, my skin and I can't grow nails, they just stay weak and peel off in layers. Has anybody else had any of this? | F | 53 | 1 years | 4/22/2004 | 3 | mild dep, weight gain, low energy | 1st night couldn't sleep well - bad dreams when I did. Other than that nothing. | I am going to try 150mg x 2 today for the first time (was only doing x 1 until now) so I can hopefully experience the 'burst of energy' and 'loss of appetite' everyone seems to be experiencing. | F | 36 | 4 days | 4/22/2004 | 1 | depressed | F | 37 | | 4/22/2004 |
