| 5 | depression | F | 48 | 2 years | 6/10/2002 | 5 | to overcome pre-menopausal insanity | none | i cannot take estrogen due to hormonally-induced migraines. when pre-menopause hit with mood swings and rage (among other things), my internist suggested WB. I've been taking if for 8 or 9 years and am 100% satisfied. | F | 65 | 8 years | 6/9/2002 | 5 | Antidepressant | None | Had to go on Wellbutrin when my mother and father died a year apart. I took their death very hard. Wellbutrin pulled me out of depression. | F | 53 | 13 years | 6/9/2002 | 2 | depression | Increased ENERGY and decreased appetite!!! That was the only plus (which I miss) Otherwise, I was VERY aggitated, angry, snapped at kids, hubby people. Short term memory was awful. I'd be on a minor mission to go to kitchen or basement for something, and forget what I was going to do. Some ringing in ears. Increased anxiety. Throbbing headaches at top of my head (I NEVER get headaches). | F | 35 | 4 weeks | 6/5/2002 | 5 | depression | First few weeks - tightness in chest & nausea | F | 46 | 2 years | 5/31/2002 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | just started - not sure about any side effects. Maybe neck pain | F | 40 | 6 days | 5/29/2002 | 4 | tension headaches/mild depression | Insomnia,tremor,increased sex drive,weight loss,decreased appetite, increased energy,dizziness,nervousness. Am taking 400 mga day. | I had just about every "typical" symptom...I have lost nearly 25lbs in 4 months and am too thin! The initial agitation, dizziness,and decreased appetite are gone, but many of the positive effects have vanished too, such as the periods of intense happiness and high energy and motivation. I still have insomnia and have become slightly manic. The greatest part is that my everyday headaches have vanished and I am not a zombie like I was on Elavil and Paxil(I can think and feel)! All in all, a great drug, but it only helps slightly for the depressive component. | F | 21 | 4 months | 5/17/2002 | 3 | depression and general axirty | headaches, tremur, dizzy, more energy, can't sleep much, lost weight. I think is helping me, but I'm also taking 20 mg. of prozac so I don't know which is the one working or giving these side efects. pressure in head and mouth. | I think is helping me, eventhough I do have some side efects I don't like. I cry less, but I still cry every other day. I think my depression is getting better. I smoke less. pressure in head and mouth. I would recomend it to try it. | F | 28 | 1 months | 5/9/2002 | 5 | depression/anxiety | headache for the first week. trouble falling asleep for first week or two. vivid dreams. loss of appetite. lost 13 pounds in the first 3 months of taking it. | able to concentrate and multitask at work and home. has brought on a little to much anxiety (i.e. hard to sit and relax w/o having something to do) after 4 months now my dose has gone from 300mg/day to 150 mg/day with 12.5 mgpaxil to combat the added anxiety. sex drive still very much there. I also combine this with 100mg viagra as needed for ed. | M | 41 | 4 months | 5/8/2002 | 3 | depression | always too warm, heart racing in the night. I have no change in weight....darn, would be a plus to this!! I think I am stopping . I dont like the insomnia. | I am so glad to see that others are having some of the same problems with this drug. I only take 100mg 2x daily and did not think it could be the reason for the heart palpitations. I even went to my Dr and he did an EKG and never mentioned that it could be from this!! | F | 49 | 6 months | 4/26/2002 | 4 | Depression and no energy | Increased desire for sex...intensified orgamism...kind od nervous feeling at the beginng of the drug...helps decrease food cravings..Have trouble sleeping | F | 46 | 9 months | 3/4/2002 | 5 | Depression/to help stop smoking | Lots of energy, return of libido after zoloft destroyed it, depression has lifted | This med is great...not only did it help with my depression, i also quit smoking!!!! i also have a huge appetite which isn't good for me since i workout all the time, and the wellbutrin helped keep my appetite under control | M | 24 | 1 years | 1/29/2002 | 4 | Depression | Lost weight and not hungry as much. Libido definitely increased, I had been on Zoloft and Celexa previously with negative results. | So far it's working | M | 56 | 1 years | 1/25/2002 | 1 | Depression | I had a major seizure and if it wasnt for my mother coming home and finding me convulsing I would probably be dead. I know this is a rare side effect but it is a serious one and worth noting. I was unconscious for almost 1 hour. The paramedics had to come and take me to the ER for testing. | For the brief period I took it it was ineffective. Im going great now thanks to PROZAC. | F | 20 | 1 months | 1/7/2002 | 4 | DEPRESSION/ SLEEPING TOO MUCH | nausa, bad taste, increase in sex drive | I believe this medication is working! I do feel a little nausa sometime, food taste weird to me,I must say my sex drive is awesome!I am awake more | F | 27 | 17 days | 12/28/2001 | 4 | depression | some restlessness and slight anxiety; physical side efects, aches in muscles & joints; hemmorhoids and pain in sitting; some irritability; exhaustion getting up in morning; some headaches; felt a little too "robot-like" | did make me more alert and lifted my depression; was more focused and less "out of it" - did not interfere with sexual functions.
