| 5 | depression | severe constipation, heart racing, can only sleep for about 5 hours, lightheaded, shaky | i haven't been taking this very long(1 week) but i feel more relaxed in stressful situations, not so frustrated with our 1 yr. old.i did get severe constipation and i think that is the worst side effect so far!! i can live with the other side effects. | F | 33 | 1 weeks | 1/27/2004 | 4 | Depression | sleeplessness, a spaced-out feeling (weird pressure at my temples), some headaches, my hands shake when trying to do anything detailed (like painting), short term memory is horrible. | I started out taking it for 7 days at 150mg, then increase to 300mg. After taking 300mg for about 4 days I really felt like I was high on something illegal. Really spaced out. I'm going to stick with 150 mg. because I felt more normal then. It has cured my depression so far so that's the good thing. 300mg is just too much for me. | F | 39 | 16 days | 1/23/2004 | 4 | moderate depression & stop smoking | dry mouth, diffulty sleeping (had to adjust dose time), anxiety (at first) | I firmly believe my underlying depression prevented me from successfully quitting smoking before and with Wellbutrin it has been possible. I had difficulty remembering my PM dose (150 mg 2 x's/day) and finally my medical provider switched me to Wellbutrin XL, which I only take in the AM and hence have no problems with it interfering with my sleep. | F | 33 | 6 months | 1/12/2004 | 3 | | 1/4/2004 | 5 | Depression | Some nightmares, not to bad. | I am coming off Effexor XR and starting the Wellbutrin SR. I was having extream sexual dysfunction on the Effexor which is why I asked Dr. to take me off. I have been taking Wellbutrin while weaning off the Effexor and I have notice my sexual desire coming back. I have also noticed the other side effects I was having on the Effexor are going away(insomnia,jaw clenching, teeth grinding,sweating). I will be taking 300mg of Wellbutrin. I am very hopeful this drug will work. | F | 31 | 14 days | 12/29/2003 | 5 | Depression | Excess Energy and Alertness | Best AD taken | M | 39 | 6 months | 12/20/2003 | 4 | Major Depression | For 5 days or so I felt a little lightheaded, but once I got through that, it has been a great drug. | My dose is 150 mgs twice a day. I have been taking antidepressants before Prozac came out, This medicine helps with energy and depression, and tends to last longer than the SSRI's. I have to keep switching back and forth on the other antidepressants as they lose their effectiveness after 6 months or so. | M | 37 | 5 years | 12/7/2003 | 4 | depression, ADHD, anxiety | good...never lost effectiveness, helped with concentration/focus but did nothing for anxiety | M | 27 | 2 years | 12/6/2003 | 5 | depression | no side effects | I've tried several antidepressants and this one has been the best without side effects | F | 41 | 1 years | 12/3/2003 | 3 | to go with my paxil | anxiety increase | did fix my side effects from paxilcr | M | 28 | 45 days | 11/21/2003 | 4 | going thru divorce | dry mouth | F | 40 | 1 months | 11/4/2003 | 2 | depression (diagnosis by default) | (I've had daily headaches and a | I'm on 150 mg of the new XR. The aching, limb weakness, and prickly feelings I'm experiencing as well as the increased tinnitus are upsetting to me, so I'll call my doctor tomorrow morning to see if I should stop the Wellbutrin. I'm also taking 200 mg of Zoloft, but haven't felt any side effects of that since starting four months ago (I also haven't felt any better). Before this, I tried Effexor and then Elavil, both with unpleasant side effects which made me stop after a few days. | F | 35 | 14 days | 10/26/2003 | 1 | Clinical Depression | Forgetfulness, loss of all emotions [constantly feeling dazed and/or confused], sporadic hunger, twitching, tendancy to sleep more than usual. | Tried Zoloft, Celexa, Prozac, nothing seems to work. I'm still on Wellbutrin SR [ was on 200 mg/day, now 300 mg/day ] | F | 18 | 6 months | 8/30/2003 | 3 | stress | itching and not sleeping well. | F | 41 | 3 weeks | 8/19/2003 | 1 | to assist with sexual side effects | bad headache to full blown migraine; headache lasted 2 days on just one 100mg dose of the med. Felt jittery. | Was not the medicine for me. I am on Zoloft and doc gave it to me to counter the sexual side effects of Zoloft but I clearly became ill even from a small dose. I am disappointed as I had hope it would help and give me more energy sinc the Zoloft tends to slow me down. | F | 36 | 2 days | 8/11/2003 | 4 | Quit Smoking/ Mild Depression | Slight dull headache, extreme insomnia, Weird dizziness feeling upon falling asleep (like brain doing somersaults), extreme constipation (which I already had issues with) | It was an aphrodisiac for me. I felt great and had more energy than I had in a long time. I usually suffer from chronic bloating and water retention, but this eliminated it. I was taking 150 mg x 2 a day. The only reason I discontinued it was on the second week I suffered a major panic attack (although i am a bit anxious...I have never had one of those) on my way into work. It was a horrible feeling and I wasn't sure if it was just a panic attack or the precursor of a seizure. That was enough for me to stop...but I am considering going on again at a lower dosage and not taking in as much caffeine (which may have contributed to the attack) | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 8/8/2003 | 2 | depression | Bad headaches for first 2 weeks (didn't feel like normal tension headaches). LOTS of shaking, particularly in the hands, for the whole time I was taking it. Some loss of appetite, particularly during the first month. | It didn't work for me, unfortunately. No effects after 3 months. Did not want to increase dose due to the shaking. | F | 29 | 3 months | 8/8/2003 | 5 | M | 21 | 365 days | 7/13/2003 | 4 | depression, add, anxiety | dry mouth, tremor, weight loss :) | Has helped to counteract the negative sexual side effects caused by celexa. Has helped me lose a little weight! | F | 33 | 6 months | 7/10/2003 | 5 | depressed after a heart attack | no side effects | I feel much better on this medication- just more interested in the world instead of just watching it pass me by. | F | 65 | 10 months | 6/8/2003 |
