| 3 | Stop Smoking, Depression | Metallic taste, rapid weight loss, persistent cough, desire to smoke more | This medication did help with my depression and fatigue, but it did not help me to quit smoking. | F | 41 | 45 days 150 1X day | 7/13/2015 | 1 | Depression, Anxiety, PTSD | Extreme confusion, couldn't remember anything Coordination horrible, worsening depression, complete detachment, slurred slow speech, out of body feeling, suicide attempt | This was the worst experience ever! I was a complete zombie from the moment I took the first dose. One hour after my first dose I couldn't remember anything and if I had taken my meds or not. Took a second dose of all meds because I didnt remember. Day 2 I woke up in a fog that never lifted. By that night I was so confused and uncoordinated I fell out of bed and had to crawl to the bathroom. Day 3 the depression was so out of control and again had issues making it to the bathroom. Ran straight into the wall and slid down like a cartoon and had to crawl into the bathroom. Day 4 my family was concerned because my speech was impaired and super slow and I wasn't making any sense when I could string a few words together. I couldnt make a complete thought. Depression through the roof and thoughts of suicide entered. Confused fog all day sat and stared at wall for the entire day, felt like it wasnt me. Day 5 I woke up in a fog felt like I was a marionette and someone else was pulling the strings swallow pilld by the handful all the while I was watching myself doing it not actually feeling like I was doing it. Was completely detached like an out of body experience. Woke up 3 days later in ICU on life support, Apparently my roommate found me unresponsive and no pulse I had no idea what had happened and only vaguely remember anything after I stuffed the pills down my gullet. Bupropion ruined my life. I have not been the same since and it has been 7 months since my "i | F | 44 | 5 days IDK 1X day | 7/10/2015 | 1 | Depression | Stomach cramps, chest pain, couldn't sleep | Use to take the real Wellbutrin, no problems.

I took name brand before and this is way different. I was on name brand for 10 years, and went to generic and had to get off cause it was not working. Off for a year, went back to Doc because of peri-menopause symptoms and depression. Decided to go back on wellbutrin instead of hormones. I was prescribed wellbutrin and pharmacy gave me the generic. I am so sick from the generic and feel worse. Lethargic, losing my balance, upset stomach, but hungry, bloated, Doc called in name brand and its 300.00 dollars. Wanted to try name brand again but it is really expensive. | F | 52 | 5 days 100 mg 3X day | 4/14/2015 | 1 | Anxiety/depression | RLS ...depression....very disoriented....agitated | Just not for me | F | 52 | 6 weeks 150 | 4/11/2015 | 1 | Doctor said I was depressed. | Extreme shaking-tremors.

Grinding teeth at night. Tense. | I don't know why the Dr gave me this crap. I have anxiety. This does not help...AT ALL! I'm not going to take it starting today. I'd rather feel anxious than deal with the horrible side effects. Beware. | F | 42 | 3 weeks 300 mg | 3/4/2015 | 1 | phx az | Weight gain crying all the time | F | 1 years | 2/7/2015 | 3 | Depress, quit smoking, stress | A little dizzyness stomach pain | Just started taking bupropion hcl!

Have been on Adderall for 10 years and never had problems like this. | Overall think my life has become worse, not better.

I hate this drug!!!! | F | 34 | 2 years HCl xl 300 | 2/3/2015 | 3 | depression | sweating, paranoia, keep going to the bathroom *number2*, doubting, not hungry. | I just recently stop taking the medication. For two days yesterday and Tuesday. Right now since yesterday night I've been doubting my self with my relationship. *FIRST TIME EVER HAPPENING* I keep sweating im paranoid about loving my girlfriend. I don't feel normal. All i wanna do ia stop feeling like this. I don't know what else to do. This morning i took my medication At 5am. I've been trynna stop feeling like this sat in the tub for a while with hot water, slept cant barely sleep. Im hungry but when i see food i don't feel like eating | F | 19 | 2 months 150mg | 1/22/2015 | 1 | Dysthymia | Flu-like symptoms. Extremely dry and metallic taste in mouth, altered taste of food, nausea, intense muscle aches, craving for junk food, but extremely rapid weight loss (strange), oh and the best for last Paranoia! | Just read the side effects Bupropion (Welbutrin). Read it many years ago but I guess I didn't pay attention. I've been on some dose of it and different labs (all generic) over the course of 3-4 years. I also took it in mid 20's but only vaguely recall nausea, dry mouth, and sweats. Recently increas my dose from 150-300mg and I feel terrible. So this is why I feel sick all the time? Imagine having the flu EVERY DAY and then toss in weight loss and dehydration. Constantly feel hungry but when foods is in front of me I have a loss of appetite. Oh heap on some paranoia! I'm stopping it completely and just going to be on Prozac. My mother also has Dysthymia and she now uses Prozac. That seemed to work for me when I was in the hospital last month. I'm going to switch or work on lower doses to just stop completely. The side effects at brutal. | M | 37 | 4 years 300mg | 1/11/2015 | 1 | Depression | I have been crying a lot; bad tremor; low libido; depressed again. The Welbutrin worked- not this awful generic! | F | 57 | 1 months 150 | 1/2/2015 | 2 | depression | Nausea, dizzyness, zombie-like feeling, sweating and hot flashes | F | 31 | 7 days 150mg | 10/22/2014 | 1 | Depression, panic/anxiety disorder | Severe muscle soreness/weakness, increased occurrence of migraines, ringing in ear, go from freezing and shaking to sweating in a matter of minutes, insomnia which I really didn't need help with, feeling like a zombie, non-stop yawning. | Side effects definitely did not help the depression/anxiety issues. I want to stop but my doc is making me wean down. I did stop taking for three days but the muscle pain was unbearable. Makes me think the "medicine" is addictive. If I wanted an addiction, I could have found that on my own and probably much cheaper than the cost of the multiple doctor visits and cost of meds. Very frustrating. | F | 36 | 3 months 150 2X day | 9/16/2014 | 3 | Bi Polar/Depresssion | Hungry. Extreme thirst. Painful jaw. Weight gain. Urge to smoke. Quit a year ago using Champix, Hungry. Will eat anything that gets in my way. Sweet stuff then salty. Hungry. For junk food and greasy cheesburgers. Thirsty. So thirsty that I use biotene 24/7. Wake up every night thirsty. | Seems like my side effects are the opposite of other peoples. | F | 46 | 6 months 300mg 1X day | 9/6/2014 | 4 | depression | It helped me a lot. I felt more awake in school. More aware if my surrounding. Once my doctor changed my doses from 150 to 200 mg I felt more tired.
