 3  Depression/low libido So far I am very fidgety and have a dry mouth. I also have a little bit of anxiety and feel pretty withdrawn on day three. Hoping the side effects calm down. I started taking Wellbutrin because I was suffering from untreated depression which I believe has killed my libido.I've only been using it three days so hard to determine a rating on it and that's why I gave it a three. Not sure if it's normal but on day three I feel withdrawn and a little more depressed than before of the medication. M 43 3 days

 3  Depression Restlessness, irritation, always have bitter thoughts or memories for closed ones, lack of emotions, lack of love feelings, increased sex desire with no love feelings , feel not to talk more, increased anxiety, brain fog, feels overexcited and due to which forget the present and what I am doing. Antidepressants alone are not the solution for depression. I take batchflower remedies along with Bupron XL. It helps me to add positive emotions. Also antidepressants removes love feeling which makes u dry of emotions and you remain with only aggression or we become robot. Try Reiki or Pranik Healing M 47 2 years

 3  Depression and anxiety Significant Hair loss (see scalp) and ringing of ears I first started on SR100 - and I had itchiness off hands and feet (rare side effect that happens to the dye). Switched to xl 150- did very well on this but started to lose effect so upped to SR200 - had severe agitation, couldn't sleep, brain zaps, heart rate through the rioof, couldn't control my anger - had to take time off work (I'm a psychologist). Was fine when I went back to xl150 - until it wasn't enough. Upped to xl300 (it's gentler than SR) and I noticed I adjuster WAY better than SR but about day 5 I noticed significant hair loss. It's an extremely rare outcome but possible. To the nurses that claim it isn't possible to have these side effects you're wrong I completely understand the pharmacodynamics and I've worked with enough patients (been in the field since I was 18) to know that it reacts differently for different people. There are enough people saying these things to see patterns emerge. When you start all you can do is hope you don't react poorly to the drugs. Some people do great, others do not. F 35 5 months

Last week, my dosage was doubled and I have been experiencing tremors, muscle spasms, dry mouth, sore throat, tinnitus, body aches, swollen lymphnodes, sweating and dizziness. I am in college and still on this medication so I may be off of it soon but I'm a little worried and have been feeling sick. F 21 14 days

 4  Sick of no sex drive on Lexapro So far great appetite suppressant; have lost several pounds in short time taking it. Hard to fall asleep. I'm on the generic & have read it doesn't work as well. We will see. I know I need to give it more time. I switched to Wellbutrin XL in hopes my sex drive comes back. 2 years with numb genitals & no orgasm on Lexapro. Still waiting on that, but it's early. I drink alcohol nightly; praying I don't have a seizure. Email me if you have resolved any of the issues I listed and tell me if it worked for you & if you drink. F 53 2 weeks

 4  Depression I am feeling much better. I was on Wellbutrin from 2003 to 2018. Tried to go without and fell apart so back on it. Besides not being able to sleep, my leg muscles ache and cause restless legs at night. Giving it another two weeks and if side effects don't simmer down I will have to stop. I can't take other antidepressants because they cause weight gain and other issues. I would recommend this for anyone that is suffering from depression. But take as early in the morning as you can so you can sleep. F 60 14 days

 5  Depression Tried several antidepressants over the past 4 years and none of them worked for me. Doctor suggested Wellbutrin XL. Started at 150 and gradually increased to max 450mg. I felt a difference in my mood and energy right away. I’m less irritable and actually feel happy again. I’m glad I didn’t give up trying to find something that worked for me. F 39 6 months

 3  Depression At first felt great, lost 40 pounds from my 4 pregnancies. Tons of energy which was great with 4 kids to take care of. Loved it and loved that my skinny clothes were fitting and my husband was more attracted to my body. 3-4 months into taking it my long full curly beautiful hair started breaking off and then falling out horribly. I dread washing it. My appetite came back and probably put back on 20 pounds. I started to not feel anymore affects to the medication and wanted to come off. I was scared about withdrawals, did it anyway. Only if the first 1st or 2nd month could have made me feel like the way it did and didn't cause hair loss and helped with weight loss like metabolite did in the early 2000's. I would definitely recommend that you don't try it if you have anger or anxiety problems. My mood was all over the place. My doctor only gave it to me to help, to help me lose weight. Within 3 months lost 40 pounds, but I would rather have my beautiful hair and lose weight with the Keto diet. F 37 8 months

 3  Depression, anxiety, stress this medicine so much for me I could honestly tell a huge difference. The only side effect that I could tell was I could not use the bathroom. It was so bad I’m taking equate gentle laxative, gummies, and mirlax. I just don’t think this is normal. I wish I could take it not found anything like it. Love it but just can’t. Doctors and pharmacist said wait till it get in my system and I adjust. Didn’t happen :( F 41 2 months

 5  depression Side effect is diminishes my appetite and cravings which I find to be a positive for weight maintenance. I took the Brand for 15 years, switched to generics for the last 5 years and tried all manufacturers. None of them worked like the Brand. I've gone back too the Brand for the last month and it works great. The generics in the XL's are not bioequivalent. Some have been taken off the market over the years. F 60 20 years
