 1  for moderate depression I felt extremely anxious, had difficulty catching my breath, could not sleep. I felt very agitated and spacey. My heart was racing a mile a minute.I did lose my appetite. Coming off the drug my brain experienced "freezing spots". The whole experience was terribly uncomfortable. The stimulant effect of this drug was too much for me even at a low dosage. I was very wired. The trouble breathing really scared me.Perhaps this drug is good for people who have more severe depression and can tolerate side effects. I am going to try a more natural route for a cure for my sad moods. F 36 3 days

 5  Mild Depression Since I started taking Wellbutrin, I have not suffered the paralyzing "low moments" that used to happen once or twice a week. Life is still up and down - but I'm a teenager, and that's to be expected. I feel like this medication has put me back in control. Wellbutrin not a panacea (or an aphrodisiac), but it is very effective and I've not suffered any debilitating side effects. F 16 3 months

 5  smoking cessation My appetite at first was non-existant,and I had terrible intermittant episodes of itching. At first it would be my hands then the next day my head would itch. etc. Took me awhile to figure out the connection. I really feel confident that I can continue to not smoke because of this product. My anxiety about not being able to smoke has significantly lessened. It's like it doesn't really matter if I do or don't which has never happened to me before. F 31 2 weeks

 5  To stop smoking It stopped my depression (huge plus). Stopped my craving for smoking. (Zyban seemed to strong, this worked perfectly for me) Also helped kill my appetite. I do have problems sleeping now though. But high energy during the day. When I first started taking wellbutrin I was also taking diet pills without my doctor knowing this. This is a big no no. It reversed my appetite to starving all the time. And I became very mean and hateful to my family. F 35

 2  anxiety, depression tremors, mind felt like I had a pinball machine going on, couldn't sleep, did have increased energy - but couldn't slow down. Couldn't think staight or even read I was so agitated. I don't know if the side effects would go away if I continued taking the drug, but I just called my dr.s' office to say I wanted off because I didn't feel like myself, like I was going to go crazy. I already feel better without the morning dose. F 41 11 days

 1  Depression/Gen. Anxiety Disorder Severe shaking from head to toe, some disorientation. After only a few days, and at a low dosage, I was shaking all over - couldn't write as neatly, use utensils smoothly, or operate stick shift car smoothly. Briefly became disoriented at an airport. But not all people will react the same to every drug. F 29 3 days

 4  depression weight loss; increased agitation; increased libido; mild insomia, which subsided; decreased apetite I lost more weight than I would have liked and am having a hard time gaining it back. Can't complain about increased libido however, particularly after having tried other antidepressants with the opposite effect. Having a hard time finding the correct dosage, which has made agitation and insomnia fluctuate. F 27 7 months

 5  Depression I experienced no side effects. Had a dramatic increase in sexual desire though. Husband said it is like Viagra for Women. F 27

 5  Major Depression I had a weird pressure in my head for the first 10 days...like a headache with no pain. I completely lost my appetite. My stomach felt fine & food tasted good...I just never got hungry. I had to make sure to eat & drink at regular intervals because I was getting dehydrated and passing out. All side effects completely gone after 3 months. This drug increased my libido, a welcome effect, as the depression had completely killed any sexual desire. It also seems to have reduced the amount of acid my stomach produces, and thus has cured many gastrointestinal problems I've had over the years. I have lots of energy and great concentration. After taking Wellbutrin, I have entered the most productive and creative time of my life. F 35
