| 2 | to help Zoloft sexual side effects | This medicine did not help with what I wanted it to. At first I got painful headaches, then I started breaking out in hives, mostly on my face, neck, stomach, and scalp. I also felt more depressed and anxious. | It did not help me at all. | F | 24 | 28 days | 1/13/2003 | 3 | after a heart attack | F | 65 | 8 months | 12/31/2002 | 5 | Depression | trouble sleeping at times | I take other meds, but this one I have stuck with over time! It has helped for many years. | F | 28 | 2 years | 12/23/2002 | 3 | depression | Can't sleep. Racing around the house. | Still waiting for it to kick in. | M | 38 | 5 days | 12/21/2002 | 5 | Depression | I didn't experience any consistent noticeable side effects. I was taking 200mg Zoloft and 40mg Buspar daily for the last 2 years. On the zoloft I felt a lot "spacier" and didn't really feel like the same person anymore. With Wellbutrin I feel more like my ole self again and have regained interest in things I used to enjoy. | With the Zoloft I had gained 20lbs over the last 2 years. Overeating was very common for me on this med. With the Wellbutrin my appetite is greatly diminished, I have lost 9lbs in the 3 months of use. | M | 40 | 3 months | 12/11/2002 | 5 | stress/anxiety | First week: racing feeling - like I had taken a bottle of speed; trouble breathing - could only take short breaths; could not sit still; tapping of hands and feet; increased agitation caused a flare-up of a muscle spasm in my back - Dr. treated it with medication and it got better; Extreme thirst; nausea and pain in my stomach; vivid dreams and nightmares - insomnia worsened. It was very hard to make it through the first week, but I read about the medication and all the literature seemed to indicate that my symptoms were to be expected and would abate, so I forced myself to continue taking it. Days 3-7 were the worst. Took xanax in the evening to help me sleep - helped tremendously. Second week: symptoms described in first week lessened as the week went on with the exception of the extreme thirst, strange dreams, and nausea/pain in stomach (it's tolerable, but not pleasant). I'm not nearly as aware of the side effects now. I am taking 150 mg once a day. Dr. had originally intended for me to take 300 mg starting the second week, but for now we are keeping it at 150. | My stress has reduced, even when I was racing during the first week. Bad things do not seem to have such a strong effect on me and I'm better able to perform my duties at work. I've lost several pounds, but haven't gotten on the scale - clothes are a lot bigger now. | F | 29 | 2 weeks | 11/30/2002 | 4 | depressiom due to breast caner | more energy, happier | F | 49 | 1 years | 11/23/2002 | 5 | Severe Depression | insomnia, dry mouth, loss of appetite, lost 20lb. in 3 months, get the shakes sometimes,and headaches. | I have a lot of energy, I don't feel as depressed anymore, I want to get up in the morning and go on with life. This drug works really great for me despite the side effects. I take 300mg a day. | F | 23 | 3 months | 10/24/2002 | 5 | moderate to severe depression | started @ 150 mg. had severe reaction on 4th day. felt like meth, paced for hours, racing heart. went to 100 mg. now feel great! its been 7 days, finally want to have sex! tried paxil, serzone,and zoloft. | zoloft worked for about a year then just stopped working. I was only on 50 mg. though. Any higher felt so weak and tired.well. sr is working great. have lots of energy and desire to keep going.wich is a must w/ 3 small kids.am a mild drinker and concerned about seizure, wondering what amout of alcohol consumption actually causes the seizeres, cant find any research on that. works great. up to 150 mg. tom. hope there is no reaction. highly recomend. | F | 26 | 7 days | 10/7/2002 | 4 | Depression | constipation | F | 25 | 5 years | 10/6/2002 | 5 | depression | none | love it. It worked wonders for my depression with no sexual side effects. Ive tried alot of ssri's, and always had a problem with my sex drive. Wellbutrin also made me loose weight. | F | 24 | 2 months | 9/25/2002 | 5 | moderate depression/fatigue | vivid surreal dreams (not bad!) increased appetite slightly paranoid/over-sensitive/light headed after several months on drug | I've taken wellbutrin 2x for 5-6 months at a time. Result: Energy level back to normal, Mood back to normal, No sexual side-effects(Anorgasmic on Prozac), Deep restorative sleep (despite the dreams).It made me feel "normal" again, at least for the first 4 months or so. I quit (both times) after the side-effects became too bothersome and slowly but surely fell back into a "funk" with even less energy than I had before I took the drug. It acts like a stimulant in other words and is addictive. But for someone who gets sleepy on Prozac and is bothered by its sexual side-effects, Wellbutrin is a good anti-depressant. | F | 39 | 2 times | 9/20/2002 | 5 | depression | anxious. Switched my dosage to 300mg from 150mg a day. Wondering if headaches are caused by it. | I never realized how depressed I was until I went on wellbutrin. I'm back in the gym and feeling great! | F | 32 | 1 months | 9/19/2002 | 4 | depression | Drowsiness from it or from effexor or both. | M | 54 | 2 years | 8/16/2002 | 5 | moerate depression | dry mouth the first few weeks, slight loss of appetite, possibly it may have caused headaches | This drug is really great. I am able to finally get out of bed and participate in life. I feel energetic, and more at ease with my environment. Side effects wore off within 2 weeks. The control of appetite is great because I was always hungry which would lead to anxiety. | M | 26 | 6 months | 8/6/2002 | 2 | deptession/anxiety | increase in anxiety and depression, crying spells, severe irritability and suicidal thoughts | will be asking doctor to switch me to something else this week | F | 29 | 1 months | 7/30/2002 | 4 | depression | dizziness,blured vision,some overstimulation. | seems to be working in conjuction with Paxil. 150mg Wellbutrin S.R.and 25mg S.R.
