Depression and Anxiety
by Reviewer33262
on July 9, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 37.0 Side effects: Increased irritability and anxiety. Very odd thoughts that I have never had before. For example, worrying about germs, not wanting to touch things that look dirty. Periods of crying for no rational reason. Increased sex drive. Time taken and dosage: 14 days300 1X D Review: I was on Zoloft which worked well for my overall mood, however I had weight gain and hair loss. I am never hungry on WB, which is good for me. I am hoping side effects subside quickly.

Sex: F
Age: 17.0 Side effects: Broken up sleep, Increase sex drive, Strange thoughts, ringing ears, increased headaches, strange feelings that something bad is going to happen. Just different feelings Time taken and dosage: 8 months300Mg 1X D Review: On top of all these bad effects, if i drink alcohol I do not get drunk, i only feel it in my body. Does anybody else feel that way on it? In my mind im completly fine yet i notice im stumbling and dropping things. I can drink a bottle to my face and i still will not mentally feel drunk just physically. Its so odd and hard because i have all of these bad effects yet i feel so happy on it most of the times. Im stuck in the middle on what i should and shouldnt do.

to quit smoking and even moodiness
by Reviewer33265
on June 23, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 25.0 Side effects: I have taken WellButrin for over a year now, and I am very happy with it. I was able to just quit smoking. I smoked a pack a day for 7 years and then didnt feel the need to smoke anymore. I lost 20 pounds, and it really does even out my moods significantly. The first 3 weeks I took it I wasnt so sure.I was shaky and couldnt sleep much and felt like I was on some sort of serious drugs. That wore off for the most part. I think its very important to take it at the same time every day. If I take it an hour or more later than usual I get much more irritable and usually cant sleep. The insomnia side effect never completely disappeared, unfortunately. Overall, its a huge help. Time taken and dosage: 1.5 years150mg 1X D Review:
Depression, Anxiety

on June 19, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 22.0 Side effects: Headache, heavy breathing, loss of appetite, anxiety, crying spells, jitteriness, broken sleep, loss of concentration, lack of energy. Time taken and dosage: 3 days150 mg 1X D Review: Ive been taking Wellbutrin XL for 3 days now and although its not enough time to pass any major judgement I definitely am witnessing some really awful side effects. I switched off Lexapro 10 mg because of drowsiness and appetite increase; I was really optimistic about Wellbutrin but so far it has not been what I thought it would be. I am also on Yaz and a small dose of Adderall so Im not sure if the interactions of these drugs are making me feel this way but if these side effects do not reside Im going to be extremely disappointed. I felt like Wellbutrin was my last hope being that its not an SSRI and is for depression. I can also feel my anxiety gradually increasing. something I really really do not need. I just want to wake up happy to be alive.
Major depression, anxiety
by Reviewer33267
on June 16, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 36.0 Side effects: In the first three months: decreased appetite, increased sex drive, insomnia, panic attacks, increased energy, better mood, crazy dreams Time taken and dosage: 2 years300XL 1X D Review: I LOVE Wellbutrin. I have been on it for over 2 years, and it has really helped me. Initially I had some minor issues compared to the benefits. When I am really stressed, it does seem to amp up my anxiety. Nonetheless, I think it is a wonder drug. 2 years later, I have no side effects--other than the anxiety sometimes that I mentioned (which I had before). Doc just prescribed 20 mg (which I cut in half, so 10 mg) Selexa to go on top for the week before my period, and that has been great too. I may see if I could take this combo all the time. Anyway, switched from Zoloft because I had no sex drive, and my weight would not budge.ONE PRECAUTION--DO NOT TAKE THE GENERIC. I switched for two months and thought I was going insane because all my depression symptoms came back. I did research, and it turns out that though the generic WellbutrinXL (Bupropion) has the same ingredients, the timed release part is not monitored or regulated by the FDA. Thus, I would be fine in the morning but a mess by the afternoon. Stick to the brand name for sure!

Sex: F
Age: 36.0 Side effects: Bouts of severe aggitation, paranoid dillusions, feelings of wanting to pull my hair out, scream and hurt someone. Time taken and dosage: 6 weeks300 mg 1X D Review: The benefit of this drug for me is: Less of an appetite, no more binge eating. When Im not aggitated or aggrivated I feel serene and good, better than without it. Still waiting for full effect in 4 weeks or so, just got upped from 150 to 300mgs a day. 
Depression/ADD
by Reviewer33270
on June 10, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 42.0 Side effects: Tightness in my chest and biceps; fast heartbeat (92 bpm resting rate last night); body weakness; insomnia; anxiety; sensation in left hand as if I could not make a tight fist; feelings of tremors in my hand/arms - like they are vibrating - right now if I remain still I can see my right hand shaking a little bit and have to concentrate to keep it still; difficulty concentrating; (not sure if I am more paranoid about my relationships more than I usually am); overall body sensation of being medicated/ maybe a tingling or sloshiness;dizziness, out of balance; loss of appetite; occasional issues with vision/focusing Time taken and dosage: 30 days450 1X D Review: Didnt experience much on 300mg other than the body tingling; cant take it any more at 450mg regardless of reading that it can take a number of weeks before the body adjusts to it in your system - that shouldnt be a factor. I dont think I am any less depressed - maybe and only if my time thinking about the sad things going on in my life have been replaced to worrying about whether this medicine is going make me more likely to have a heart attack or seizure! (and some background to judge this review - paranoia, health issues and depression are NOT my normal state - started taking this MED with Concerta as issues came up in marital counseling about ADD. So after a year of stress from running my own business and fending off a divorce, feeling down in the dumps about my life and possible effect of a divorce on my kids, I thought Id try an ADD drug that also covered depression to see if there were positive changes. Nothing yet.)

Age: 22.0 Side effects: INSOMNIA! Dry skin, esp. on hands. Dry cough. Very increased sex drive. Ringing in ears. Restless legs and arms. Nystagmus. Time taken and dosage: 14 days300mg 1X D Review: I tried this before but the insomnia was too much to handle, I tapered off too quickly and cut up my arms pretty bad from rebound depression. Be careful. Im not a cutter, this is a serious brain drug. Im back on it because it works for me. I need this more than sleep at this point. I feel hope and confidence on it.
Depression

Sex: F
Age: 33.0 Side effects: Tears forming or crying at things I normally wouldnt cry about. Happens at least 1-2 times a day. Time taken and dosage: 9 weeks150 2X D Review: Lexapro made me feel more at peace and genuinely happy but it made me too sleepy. I had been taking it for five years and decided to try something in a different class. I didnt realize how much sleep I required while taking Lexapro until after beginning Wellbutrin. I feel okay on Wellbutrin but I cant wait for the crying jags to go away.
Depression, ADD
by Reviewer33274
on May 13, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 35.0 Side effects: I just came off of 5+ years on Prozac and am now taking Bupropion. The first day I felt slightly speedy, but I welcomed this feeling since I am normally lethargic and unmotivated to do anything. The entire first week was AMAZING! I felt free from a mental prison I had been locked in for so many years. I was able to feel happiness, to focus, and to get a lot of basic things accomplished (which my ADD wouldnt allow me to do before). It has also done miraculous things to my body in such a short amount of time: It gave me energy to be active throughout the day, it made my digestive problems (acid reflux and Irritable Bowel Syndrome) completely disappear, and it has cleared and softened my skin tremendously. I have high hopes that this is the right medication for me. The increased sex drive and double strength orgasms are a bonus! Time taken and dosage: 9 days75 MG 1X D Review: Today is my ninth day on this drug and Im slightly worried because Ive noticed some depression the past two days. I suffer from intensely emotional PMS and should be starting any day now, so Im HOPING that this slump will pass and Ill feel that vibrancy and happiness again. Ive read some ppls reviews who have reported falling into a depression after the first week, so I am REALLY hoping thats not the case here.
Depression
by Reviewer33275
on May 12, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 52.0 Side effects: Cannot recall about 4 hours of the 3d day I was on this drug. I was at an appointment, took notes, spent 2 hours w/subject. A few days later, I called the subject to set up our interview, and was told that wed spent 2 hours together less than a week ago. Scary because I look at my notes and have only the foggiest recollection of those 2 hours, like semi-remembering a dream Time taken and dosage: 1 weeks75 mg x4 1X D Review: It is freaking me out. I hope its the drugs, and not early-onset Alzheimers.

Sex: F
Age: 30.0 Side effects: stomach pain for first week, increased sex drive, dizziness, second week started having anxiety attacks, headaches, thoughs of suicide, shaky and panic attacks for no reason. Also broke out in a rash/hives, racing heartbeat, and heavy heartbeat. Time taken and dosage: 2 weeks300 1X D Review: I was very happy with the side effects the first week(after the pain in my stomach went away), I felt more optimistic, my moods were stable, and my sex drive went up. Then the second week I started having weird thoughs. Never thought about sucide before but started having random thoughs like maybe I should thke the whole bottle, Crazy.then started feeling anxious and having bad panic attacks for no reason, and really bad hives so I had to stop.
Severe Depression
by Reviewer33277
on May 7, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 37.0 Side effects: 1st day felt drugged but nothing weird since then. Constipation is most annoying b/c I have never dealt with it before, still trying to find something to help. Crazy sleep pattern. Time taken and dosage: 3 weeks150 mg 1X D Review: Was afraid to take an antidepressant but so far this one has really helped. I dont feel blah but I am no longer overly emotional about everything single thing. Most times can feel angry but constructively take action instead of shutting down or blowing up like usual. Also can keep on task at work and not constantly losing patience with my child. Additional benefit: its not so hard to get out of bed and when I decide to do something simple, like dishes and go for a run, I actually do it without it taking hours of emotional turmoil to get it done. And if it doesnt I dont feel like a big loser or jumping off the next bridge. Eventhough, sleep is disrupted I dont feel exhausted during the day.
depression

on April 27, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 30.0 Side effects: My doctor started me at 150 mg and increased the dose to 300 mg after a few days. I had a lot of side effects when I moved up to 300 mg (nausea, headache, trouble concentrating, ringing in my ears), so I went back down to 150 mg. Ive been taking 150 mg for the last 4 months. I occasionally have mild muscle spasms and ringing in my ears (once a day or less), but not too bad. No other negative side effects--I dont notice that Im on meds besides when I take the pill in the mornings. Time taken and dosage: 4 months150 mg 1X D Review: I put off taking meds for depression for 10 years, and Im so glad I decided to try Wellbutrin. I wish I had tried it a lot sooner. The main benefit Ive noticed is that my thoughts dont spiral downward anymore. I used to have suicidal thoughts at least a few times a week, and I havent had them at all since I started taking Wellbutrin. Getting up in the mornings has been easier too. It doesnt make me feel happy or numb like I thought it might. It just makes me feel normal.
Depression
by Reviewer33279
on April 26, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 48.0 Side effects: Initial symptoms that subsided: jittery speediness, lack of appetite, insomnia, headaches. Second stage of initial symptoms: extreme anxiety and paranoia that was almost debilitating. Both of these phases occurred when I initially started at 150mg/day and then when I increased to 300mg/day. Permanent side effects: (complete!) lack of sex drive, dry mouth, trouble sleeping, night sweats, what I call brain slides where there seems to be a momentary shift or turning off inside my head (had a car accident during one of these), inability to concentrate, extreme ennui/boredom, markedly decreased interest in social life, detachment, memory lapses, restlessness. Time taken and dosage: 14 months300 1X D Review: But, hey! No more suicidal thoughts! Went on because of an episodal depression--Im not normally depressed. The episode is almost resolved, but my doctor is keeping me on it because I havent been at my increased dosage for six months. Im tired of this and am going to talk to her very seriously next month about helping me get off of this. I feel like my personality has been sucked out of my right ear and its NOT because of depression. It is so difficult to get adjusted to for the first month that Im afraid to go off cold-turkey--I think I could end up hurting myself or someone else. So I need her help in tapering off in the best way possible. This drug is bizarre and there are a LOT of side effects that arent mentioned in the materials but I see consistently in places like this. I know its not a controlled study, but this drug is not everything that were told.

Its hard for me to relax at night. I am hoping this is a side effect that will go away because I havent felt this motivated in a long time.
Severe Depression, irritability

Sex: M
Age: 26.0 Side effects: Positives: Rapid weight loss, Better outlook on life and looking forward to the future, Manageable anger fits, Increased sex drive, Better, more restful sleep. Negatives: Extreme loss of appetite, paranoia, moody, sleeping A LOT, memory loss, blank spaces in my day. Time taken and dosage: 3 weeks150 MG 2X D Review: I get sick whenever I think of eating, going as far as thinking that I hate food in general, when I do eat, Ill get half way through my meal and then have to stop because I get nauseous, even the smell of anything food related makes me sick, EXTREME paranoia, to the point where I was pacing back and forth being worried that I was going to die, harder to wake up in the morning, always aroused for no reason, I have periods of time in a day that I cannot remember, increase muscle pain in my legs, including tingling. In general, Im better off than I was. Im stable, but when the side effects kick in, they kick in really hard. I am on the generic version of Wellbutrin. After reading other posts, I think I might try the real deal, although, I think if that if there is THAT much of a difference, the pharmaceutical companies should stop and think REAL hard about playing roulette with peoples lives.
depression, PMDD, PTSD, OCD
by Reviewer33284
on April 7, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 46.0 Side effects: I notice that almost everyone that is complaining about this drug is taking it more than once per day. My doctor has me on 100mg in the morning. He said not to take it after late morning. So far, I feel wonderful after replacing Prozac with this. I am a little on edge and can take 1mg of ativan to compensate. I have energy I have missed having for a year. I can walk a few miles a day again with the dog. I dont feel depressed at all. I feel like my normal self for the first time in 2 years. i would suggest if you are having horrid side effects to talk with your doctor about lowering the dose (as long as you are not depressed), and see if that makes the other side effects more manageable? I am also losing the weight that Prozac helped me gain. So far 5 pounds. No more night cravings or feasting. YAY! Good luck to everyone with your own personal fight to feel better!!! Time taken and dosage: 8 days100mg 1X D Review: I am wondering about using the name brand instead of the generic? I saw one clear comment that side effects seemed to lessen with the name brand. Also, anyone on this for PMDD? I have a wonderful strict vitamin regimen that has helped my PMDD for years that I created, but I am nervous about this first cycle on a new med.

Sex: F
Age: 28.0 Side effects: severe irritability, lack of concentration, sever changes to menstrual cycle Time taken and dosage: 2 months300mg 1X D Review: I started with 150mg two months ago. After a week I felt worse than I did before. I wanted to commit suicide every day, instead of the couple times a year like before. The next 3 weeks were better. I had no more suicidal thoughts and had a general feeling of wellness. The following 3 weeks were the complete opposite; I was irritable to anyone and everyone for doing absolutely nothing. In addition, I went from having no menstrual cycle for a year, to having it every day for the last 8 weeks. After 7 weeks my dose was doubled to 300mg. Since then I have been in a fog, unable to concentrate on anything. When driving or even walking, I feel like I am in a tunnel.
Depression
by Reviewer33287
on April 3, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 22.0 Side effects: First off I was taking the GENERIC Wellbutrin 300mg XL made by Teva and had to stop it because of the horrible side effects. My moods turned from suicidal to extremely violent like wanting to kill people for them taking too long in line and throwing things at people. It also made me HORRIBLY constipated, and I have never been constipated before in my life. I couldnt sleep well and was foggy. I stopped taking it and everything went back to normal. Then I heard about people taking the brand, and so I ordered the brand name drug instead (cost 40$ instead of 10$ for the co-pay) and I have not been constipated, or violent and can sleep relatively well. It is criminal that the generic is so disgustingly bad. If you have had horrible side effects from Wellbutrin try the brand name. I didnt believe it either but I was desperate since I have tried SSRIs and I felt like I had a dopamine problem and this is the only drug (minus MAOIs and some tricyclics which both have horrible side e Time taken and dosage: 3 weeks300 mg 1X D Review: With the BRAND name, I feel a little speedy sometimes and I dont want to eat as much and my mouth gets a little dry. All very tolerable compared with the generics side effects.

Age: 50.0 Side effects: headache behind eyes to start, dry mouth, weird taste,& tremors WITH muscle weakness, that scared me. Oh and the inevitable constipation and burping, queasy stomach. The muscle stuff is what made me go off. Time taken and dosage: 14 days300mg 1X D Review: There never was really any benefit. Slightly better sex drive? Too soon to tell what benefits I would get from it. Was kinda bummed to give it up.

PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety
by Reviewer33290
on March 29, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 17.0 Side effects: blurred and double vision, more energy to the point of feeling wired and then experiencing major energy crashes, mild insomnia, appetite decrease, less anxiety at first but more moderate later on Time taken and dosage: 3 weeks150 MG 2X D Review: I recently started taking Wellbutrin about two weeks ago, and Ive already felt a change. I dont know if its for the better or the worse because I feel like my depression has generally been more manageable overall, as well as my anxiety for about the first week. At the start of my third week, Ive felt the anxiety worsen. I feel like I am having mood swings and boughts of anxiety less than I used to, but when I do have them, they feel like theyre uncontrollable (like its not me at all). I also started taking this pill as an alternative to a sleep aid to help with night terrors possibly caused by the PTSD, and they have decreased drastically over the past 2 weeks. Besides my uncontrollable mood swings, I am also experiencing a feeling that washes over me almost instantly where I feel like I am in a foggy, day-dreaming state where I can not control it. Has anyone else experienced this, and is it possible to tell if the pills are working already or not?

Age: 44.0 Side effects: extreme anxiety and depression. Buzzing sound in my head that would not let me sleep, had to keep tv on all night to keep the buzzing at bay! Time taken and dosage: 7 days 1X D Review: Went to another doc and he say wellbutrin was too stimulating for me. He said my problem is general anxiety which leads to depression when your brain has had enough. He put me on Zoloft and it has done wonders. Still get anxious from time to time but nothing like the old days!

Sex: M
Age: 23.0 Side effects: no side effects that I know of. Time taken and dosage: 34 days200 MG 1X D Review: I have been taking Bupropion 200 MG once a day. The first week I have noticed an up in my mood, but later on (about 4 days later) I experienced one day when I was at the gym euphoria, I was extremely happy and smiling at everyone, I was making great plans for my business and everything was fine. Later there on, I have been noticing a huge lift in my mood, and also days of severe depression and hopelessness. One day Im happy, the next no hope at all. This really far from what I was hoping for. I think this drug is making me realize more and more that I have bipolar disorder, I havent experienced any euphoria before the meds, but now. Its rediculous.

This medication made my depression basically come back. I cried for no reason, could care less about anything, and it did not come close to helping me. I got off wellbutrin after just 3weeks. Ive been off it for 2 days now. Back to lexapro and things are already so much better. Id rather deal with 1 side effect with lex than spiral back into my depression with wellbutrin
Seasonal Affective Disorder
by Reviewer33296
on March 9, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 66.0 Side effects: When I start experiencing a little insomnia, short temper and night sweats, I know it is time to start tapering off. Time taken and dosage: 90 days75 mg 3X D Review: This site is supposed to be for the direct release type, not the extended release, but its all mixed in. I do think that its a very good drug, but not when taken in excess. I think people might be happier if they started with a lower dose and raised it gradually until they felt normal, and then stay there. Since I take it only seasonally, I start taking 75 mg. a day in the fall when I start sliding into Seasonal Affective Disorder depression. By December I am up to 3 times a day (the most I ever take). By mid March I am tapering off, 2 on one day, 1 on the next day, then 2, alternating. By May I will be off it again until fall.

Severe Depression
by Reviewer33298
on March 5, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 25.0 Side effects: vicious amount of adrenalyn running through my body almost all of the time, absolutely no appetite, severe anxiety, and unable to sleep more than a couple of hours a night. Time taken and dosage: 8 days 1X D Review: This drug turned me into a jittering mess, i had an incredible amount of energy and it was not good, it made me shake and uncomfortable all the time and also severely increased my anxiety. Not even for the love of God could I get myself to relax, I felt like I was on coke or speed all the time. Eating made me feel like puking, I couldnt eat more than a spoonful or two a day and had no appetite at all. I also could not get to sleep, and was never tired! I guess its a good drug if you wanna lose weight and get a lot of work done, but people are going to think youre an addict because you wont be able to disguise your anxiety. Apparently this drug messes with your adrenalyn levels so that explains the massive energy all the time.
Depression/withdrawal from Adderall
by Reviewer33299
on March 4, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 36.0 Side effects: Insomnia, unable to dull or escape racing thoughts, extreme depression if taking in conjunction with any Rx form of amphetamine, or even coffee. Time taken and dosage: 12 days150mg 2X D Review: The first few days were HORRIBLE but that was mainly because I was still weaning off of Adderall. Once I wasnt taking any additional speed, I started to notice the Wellbutrin working quite well. Honestly, Wellburtin saved my life! I was coming off of Adderall for the 5th or 6th (and FINAL) time and I wasnt sure I could pull through this one. My shotgun was loaded and ready for that one morning when the alarm clock went off and I couldnt stand the all-encompassing anguish anymore. Adderall withdrawal is the darkest, most harrowing and wrenching detox I have ever been through, tremendously worse than opiates and xanax. I had been (and still am) taking Zoloft for depression, but once Adderall is in your body it overpowers everything else and quickly drives you off the deep end. No matter how horrible your brain feels on it, you NEED it to survive. Anyhow.back to Wellbutrin. I had read about it and thought it couldnt hurt so I asked my doc about it. I literally was at the end of my rope. He thought it was a good idea so he prescribed it to me. After two days on it I didnt NEED Adderall to get through the day!! I soon found out that I couldnt drink coffee or do any caffeine either, but it is a fair trade! Ive also been taking less Tramadols each day and I am almost off of them as well! I never imagined a smoother or quicker withdrawal from such a suicide-inducing drug and I am very grateful. I can actually get out of bed in the morning without

Sex: M
Age: 54.0 Side effects: Later in the day (3pm) I started having chest pains and rapid heart beat. My BP is fine but still rapid heart beat. Sleep interrupted. Anxiety is common 50 % of the time. I have been feeling an increase in tingling in my hands. Time taken and dosage: 4 months150mg 2X D Review: Yes it does help my depression and weight control, but i dont like the anxiety feeling and rapid heart beat. I was more active with the meds, but with chest pain its too much of a distraction.

Age: 56.0 Side effects: night sweats, anxiety, headaches, uptight/easily annoyed/low tolerance level, cry easily. Time taken and dosage: 2 months75mg 1X D Review: Im hoping the side effect decrease- sex drive has increased, still not great but better than when I was on celexa (has gone from -0 to a 2). After reading other comments, I will ask MD if increasing dosage will help. I really want something work!

Age: 34.0 Side effects: For the fist few weeks occasional rapid heartbeat, sweating, tinitus, and insomnia. After a litte while all subsided except insomnia. Occasional need for Ambien to sleep. Time taken and dosage: 2 years100 3X D Review: First off, why are people leaving comments for the SR (2x/day) and XL (1x/day) formulations on here when these choices are offered in plain english when you type in wellbutrin??!! This page is for the immediate release ONLY, which is normally taken 3x/day. Anyway. I take the 3x/day because I can pull in the timing of the dosing as early as possible and have less chance of insomnia. Also, this is the only formulation where the generic manufacturer is not an issue. The SR and XL are great if theyre name brand, but if you can remember to take 3x/day this is by far the best way to go!

Sex: M
Age: 57.0 Side effects: Very itchy rashes, increased loss of short term memory, heart palpitations, sense of smell changed, sore muscles Time taken and dosage: 1 months10 MG 1X D Review: I was put back on this drug to help with the low sex drive side effects of Lexapro. It did help somewhat, but now I had a host of new side effects. Worse one being bad rashes where ever you tend to sweat. Another one is things smell weird (mostly bad) Does it increase your sense of smell? If so, there are lots of bad smells out there and I shower every day. I also found myself wandering around all the time looking for my car keys etc. I never had this problem and once I stopped taking the Wellbutrin memory improved greatly. I have been off it for 3 weeks now, rashes are still there, not quite as bad but still a problem. Sore muscles was my first reason to go off this medication last year. After 3 months of taking this stuff I could barely move my left arm. It took another 3 months for the pain to go completely away. But now I could tell that this problem was returning with very sore elboes. Time to stop and throw away the bottle.

Sex: F
Age: 51.0 Side effects: I started taking Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. about a year ago because I couldnt tolerate other anti-depressants. For the past several months I have developed back and neck pain and now alot of pain in my legs, as well as sweating. I attributed everything to just older but now I believe it is this medicine. It helped my in the beginning and I also lost 12 pounds which was an added benefit but I just cant take the pain. It also made me so forgetful. I am an RN and have been almost unable to work. I have read that some people have eaten a banana and that helped with the pain. I started eating them and it has amazingly helped. Time taken and dosage: 1 years Review:

Sex: F
Age: 24.0 Side effects: 150mg- none300mg- hallucinationsNOTE: The generic sucks. Time taken and dosage: 1 years Review: Yes, I had hallucinations, and Im still giving this a high rating. I tend to be really sensitive to medication and Im a small person, and I think I was just taking a little more than I shouldve been. Other than the hallucinations it made such a great difference that I talked my doctor into letting me try a lower dosage. Ive been taking that lower dosage for a year now (in combination with Lamictal) and no problems at all. I feel pretty good!NOTE: I dont know if anyone else had this problem, but I had to specifically request the name-brand version. Id taken that and it worked fine, and then I got switched to the generic, and something is wrong with that. I know its SUPPOSED to be the same, but its not. I felt like it was working its way out of my system too fast. Id wake up every morning feeling upset and RAGE. It would last until a couple hours after I took the generic wellbutrin, and then it would disappear again til the next morning. Insisting on the name brand fixed that.
