| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR APLENZIN | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Tremors, diminished fine motor control, insomnia, burning sensation in feet and legs, swollen feet and ankles | M | 70 | 450 days 348 1X day | 9/14/2014 | 2 | Depression | None | This medication made my depression worse. My doctor added it on to Pristiq. I have since added Zoloft to the Pristiq and feel great! | F | 47 | 30 days 378mg 1X day | 2/24/2011 | 4 | Depression | mild-to-moderate insomnia, slight nausea for the first few days, flashes of irritability for the first week, then subsided. | I first tried Wellbutrin as a teen in an inpatient hospital 20 years ago (serious, chronic depression), and it worked wonderfully. Over the years I would go back to it now and then when the depression welled up again. About 4 years ago I had serious side-effects from generic Wellbutrin, and was unable to afford non-generic. Fast forward to now...I read about Aplenzin as being a "tailored" version of Wellbutrin - so (now that I have good insurance) I wanted to give it a try. I have to say that this medication has almost ZERO side effects - I'm so pleased with the results! I started really feeling better two weeks into treatment, so I'll continue with the 174 mg. dose. | F | 35 | 1 months 174 mg 1X day | 10/9/2010 | 4 | chronic depression | loss of appetite, decreased sex drive, still feel depressed sometimes, but it seems to pass more quickly w/this medication than others I've tried | This med was tried in desperation because I haven't had much luck w/antidepressants over the years. I also have rheumatoid arthritis & ankylosing spondilitis so there are those meds to add to the mix. | F | 50 | 10 months 522mg 1X day | 10/3/2010 | 3 | for depression | None that I know of. | I'm unsure of whether it is helping or not but if I have to say one way or another I'd say it's helping. I'm still somewhat depressed at times. Other times, not so much. (I'm also taking 10mg of Lexapro every day) | M | 60 | 1 years 348 MG 1X day | 9/19/2010 | 5 | Depression | No side effects | My 15 year old was put on aplenzin after trying several other medications. This has worked wonders!! He is a different child. Highly rec. | M | 15 | 3 months 378mg 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 5 | depression | weight loss | yep, that's right. I actually started loosing weight! Not only do I feel soooo much better (more energy, happier, not as moody)but I lost like 15 lbs. wierd. good wierd. Even if I didn't have the added weight loss joy - the drug itself has greatly improved my life. I've tried other drugs. This one worked for me :) I don't know if I'll ever try to stop taking it (if I did, my husband would probably slip it into my coffee!) | M | 44 | 9 months 348 1X day | 4/22/2010 |
APLENZIN (BUPROPION HYDROBROMIDE): This medication is used to treat depression. It may also be used to prevent seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs each year at the same time (for example, during winter). This medication can improve your mood and feelings of well-being. It may work by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (dopamine, norepinephrine) in the brain.
