Depression
by Reviewer26579
on July 10, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 28.0
Side effects: When I was first prescribed Wellbutrin in college, I was on 25 mg and experienced severe headaches. To the point of when I took my Wellbutrin, I had to accompany it with an Advil. However, after switching my psych and finding a perfect combination of medication for myself - I do not experience any bad side effects; even with such a high dose (450mg/day).
Time taken and dosage: 4 years450mg 1X D
Review: I would highly recommend Wellbutrin SR to anyone with depression or depressive tendencies. Most drugs have iffy side effects in the beginning as your body is getting used to the chemical balancing, however, after the initial period, this drug works wonders. The only thing - if I miss a dose, my attitude becomes poor & I become very unpleasant. As soon as I am back on schedule, its back to normal and NO side effects to go through again.

Depression
by Reviewer26580
on July 10, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 52.0
Side effects: Meth mouth or metallic taste/dry mouth. Loss of appetite and nausea first couple of weeks but that goes away. Insomnia if I took the pills as instructed: two in morning, two at night. I started taking all of them before 3:00 PM and had no problems.
Time taken and dosage: 2 years150 MG 2X D
Review: I take Bupropion but I think its the same thing. I am also very surprised because I have tried about 7 different AD drugs over the last 30 years, the latest were Prozac which was awful, then Cymbalta which had little to no effect like the others. Wellbutrin was suggested to me by a friend, so I asked my doctor for it thinking, it cant hurt anything. Im very glad I did. It has no noticeable side effects besides the dry mouth, and it helps me focus as well as lifting my mood.

Bi-Polar II
by Reviewer26582
on June 27, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 43.0
Side effects: Increase energy during initial titration.At 300 mg (or as the dose approaches 300 mg from 200 mg), I hear voices.At 400 mg, I went into full-blown mania with memory loss (I did not remember what I did in mania, whereas past episodes I remembered).
Time taken and dosage: 2.5 years200 mg 1X D
Review: 200 mg seems to be the mainstay for my extremely drug sensitive body. Approaching higher doses to 400 mg gets increasing variations of the above side effects.

Age: 50.0
Side effects: week one:euphoria. Week 2: Horrible headaches, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, calm mood, crying spells, muscle weakness in arms and legs, insomnia, vision improved, loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle twitching, flat affect of my personality, less anger
Time taken and dosage: 14 days150 1X D
Review: I feel like I am on a roller coaster with my emotions on this med. I have never taken any meds for depression or any psych meds. My mother committed suicide 3 yrs. ago and I am still depressed. The first day/week on the drug, I felt WONDERFUL. I thought this was my miracle drug. The second week I could not stop crying and all I thought about was suicide. Now I feel very anxious and the muscle weakness scares me. I am going to ride this out for a while and see if things get better. Really weird that my vision improved so much that I dont need glasses to see my cell phone!

Side effects: It tastes a little weird but its nothing I cant handle.It does make a big difference. My family tried to get me off of it and when I had stop I was completly DEAD, crying all the time, feeling deeply depressed. So, I started it back up. And good thing I did, It just makes my life normal or whatever people cal normal. But likfe doesnt seem like theres a cloud hanging over me following me everywhere. But other than that Im good. As for weight gain/loss Im kinda stuck from the weight gain that ZOLOFT gave me.

Side effects: headache(but only for the first week or two), decreased appetite, weight loss(YAY!), increased libido(big-time!), heightened sensitivty/sexual response, slight insomnia
Time taken and dosage: 7 months150mg 2X D
Review: After a hysterectomy, I was really messed up hormonally, emotionally, physically. This has helped me to feel sooo much better and normal again. It has really helped with the sexual problems I developed after the surgery, and has made things in that department AWESOME for the first time in years! Try to stick out any side effects through the beginning, you may find that it works for you, too. BTW, I take generic Bupropion made by EON labs and have had no problems.

depression

on May 19, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 43.0
Side effects: emotionally removed , lack of sympathy/empathy, decreased appetite, twitches, facial muscle spasms, SEIZUERE .
Time taken and dosage: 6 months400mg 1X D
Review: Not sure if this medication actually helped more than it hurt. I functioned but, as a mom, I dont think the price to my family is worth it. Compassion and empathy sort of fall by the wayside.If a dose is missed, lethargy sets in quickly.so meds have to be taken on schedule. Ultimately I took all 400 mg at one dose , instead of spreeadung it out over the morning and wound up hospitolized from severe seizure. woke up on a friends couch to ems, w bleeding mouth from biting it and my tongue, memory loss, unable to id the year or president or my friend by name or otherwise.very scary. hospitolized for 2 days.very foggy for days, and muscle cramps. seizures are no fun. stopped immediately

anxiety
by Reviewer26591
on May 18, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 43.0
Side effects: Taken with 1mg. Klonopin. Metallic taste in mouth, sensitive gums, attempted suicide (stopped taking after waking up in hospital after overdose - had 4 drinks night before)After I came home from hospital, Husband and daughter stated they didnt like the was I was for the past 30 days, they could not explain it, stated I acted weird/funny.
Time taken and dosage: 45 days150mg 1X D
Review: I went to Dr. for Anxiety. After seeing her yesterday(3days after hospital release), she even went over my records and repeated that she wrote Very upbeat - so why was I put on a antidepressant?? Now she states I probably have Type II Bipolar & wants me to take something else!! Very Leary.

Smoking Cessation
by Reviewer26592
on May 12, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 39.0
Side effects: Slight tremors (probably from morning coffee); Dry mouth (not bad really - just needed to increase water intake)
Time taken and dosage: 3 days150mg 1X D
Review: Was really skeptical about this drug at first - so far at day three - have lost all desire for smoking - Will light up and then put out immediately. Looking forward to additional effects of the meds (elevated mood, more energy) I think its important to note that I do not take any additional meds (with the exception of vitimans) which could be why the side effects have not been too bad. However, I have never been sensitive to stimulants and have always had really low or average blood pressure, which also may contribute to the low side effects. Personally, I think that if you fit into this category (low blood pressure, etc.), then it would work well for you too.

We even sit together and talk more. Talk about a marriage drug!

Depression, Anxiety
by Reviewer26594
on May 4, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 45.0
Side effects: Weight gain while on it, significant weight gain coming off.
Time taken and dosage: 4 years150 2X D
Review: Great drug. Helped my depression and anxiety. I slowly came off it after about 4 years. First down to 150 mg per day for about a month, then none. Been off it for about a month. A bit rough getting off -- bad mood, angry, slept a lot, almost no sex drive for a while, weak erections. All that passed and now feel absolutely great, better than when on it. Sex drive is back, confidence and focus better then ever. The problem is that I steadily gained 20 lbs. while on it (over about 2-3 years), and in the two months Ive been off Ive packed on 10+ lbs., despite almost daily exercise (either weight lifting, 1 hour cardio or 2 hours tennis - maybe 5-6 days per week). I am hungry beyond control. Almost reminds me of when I quit smoking 20 years ago. I really dont know what to do.

severe depression
by Reviewer26595
on April 28, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 23.0
Side effects: My depression is finally manageable! I think it has really helped me live a normal life these past few months. HOWEVER--I was thin before I started taking the medicine and have had significant weight loss since starting it. This would be fine if I werent already a size 2--but now I get asked by friends and family if I have an eating disorder! Its annoying. I have to make sure to eat a certain amount of calories in a day to stay healthy. I feel when my stomach is hungry, but I really have no desire to eat. So make sure to keep up with the good calories even if eating feels like the last thing you want to do. I recommend protein smoothies!

Review: I have always taken other meds with Wellbutrin, so I am actually not sure how effective it is on its own (starting to wonder if it is at all?)I do know that my anxiety level increases with every med increase of this drug. I developed periodic insomnia with Wellbutrin.

Review: I have been taking wellbutrin (Actavis generic)for mild depression for 14 days. In that time I have lost all desire to smoke (unbelievable) and lost 7 pounds. Side Note: this drug does not mix well with alcohol. I had three glasses of wine one night and became very tired. The next day I was so depressed that I could not get out of the bed. (more depressed than before the meds). Before the meds I reguarly self-medicated with alcohol and could not stop. Now no desire for it. Amazing!

Side effects: See comments
Time taken and dosage: 6 years300 mg 1X D
Review: I had a heart attack in January, 2004 and was advised to stop smoking. I was 59 at the time and had smoked since I was 13. I had tried to quit many times over the years with no success at at. I had tried everything - acupuncture, hypnosis, cold turkey, nicotine gum - everything. In June, 2004 I asked my doctor to prescribe Wellbutrin and let me see if it would help. I smoked my last cig on Speptember 3 and have never had the slightest urge to smoke since. I consider that miraculous! It occurred to me at the time that I had not been at all depressed since I had begun taking the Wellbutrin. I had suffered serious depression in fairly regular monthly cycles since I was a teen. I told this to my doctor and we decided for me to continue the Wellbutrin as long as the results were acceptable. I can honestly say that I have not had a depressed moment since I began taking the medicine in 2004! I have now lived almost six years experiencing the life that most take for granted. Only someone who has lived with depression would understand - my life has been changed beyond my ability to describe. Never a day goes by that I dont think of the almost fifty years of hell I lived through. I only wish everyone could have the results with Wellbutrin that I have experienced - truly miraculous!

Time taken and dosage: 5 days100 mg 1X D
Review: Ive only been on Wellbutrin SR for less than a week and already I can see an improvement in my thinking. The depression isnt so bad and I can fight/reason with the negative thoughts more easily.However, I feel its harder for me to communicate verbally, although that might be just general fatigue (I work continental shifts) or me going off Paxil (Im currently at 4mg/day on a titrating schedule.)I would really advise anyone taking ANY antidepressant to also talk to a therapist/psychologist. While depression has a bio-chemical basis, it also has a mental basis. Its important to learn how to think things through properly and deal with the negative thoughts when they come back.

Side effects: Mood swings, vivid dreams, insomnia, dry mouth, short-term memory loss, nausea, anxiety. Did NOT experience weight loss or gain.
Time taken and dosage: 21 days150 mg 2X D
Review: The stabilization period was absolutely wacky - all the side effects above, including mood swings from REALLY REALLY HAPPY!! to the most depressed I had ever been in my life. When I went back to my doctor to check in, I wasnt sure that I wanted to continue with it, but we decided to give it one more week. And Im so glad I did. On day 15, it was like somebody had flipped a switch - the dry mouth and all the other side effects were gone, and I was happy and mellow and feeling much more myself again. Also, my sex drive has come back (yay!) Definitely worth sticking it out through the stabilization period, and everything is working well now.

Review: This was an absolute nightmare . a horrible, horrifying and very, very scary experience. I usually have a fairly mild depression that ocassionally worsens after a difficult period. This medication made me feel like a complete mental case!! I can now understand how some people end up committing suicide after starting a new antideppressant . it made me feel about a thousand times worse. Please be very careful if you are trying this medication!!!

Age: 28.0
Side effects: Gained almost 10lbs on this, increased appetite, no energy, no libido whatsoever, made me angry, extreme anxiety, awful drug for me.
Time taken and dosage: 2 months150 mg 1X D
Review: I did not like this drug at all. It seems to have the opposite effect on me than most people. I was on Celexa which was working for me, but made me sleepy. Doctor switched me to Wellbutrin to see if that would help. It did not. It increased my hunger, I gained 10lbs (and I excercise 4 times a week), and absolutely killed my libido. Celexa did not do this for me. It also made me extremely agitated and angry, both which are not normal for me. I was so tired all the time, didnt want to do anything, but cry and stay on the couch or in the bed. It killed my motivation. I was like a different person. I work full time, so this was not good for me. I went back to the doctor, who said I needed to increase my dosage from 150 mg to 300 mg daily. This only made me worse, even more agitated, sleepy, angry, hungry. Hell. Called doctor and and told him I wanted to go back on Celexa after 2 months of hell with Wellbutrin SR. All these side effects disappeared once I stopped taking this drug and went back to Celexa. Celexa made me sleepy, but not to the point of being where I couldnt get out of bed or do anything. I got back to normal, and lost the 10lbs quickly. Never changed my diet during the course of this drug. I eat low fat, healthy, and excercise. Wont ever touch this drug ever again.

Major Depression/Smoking Cessation
by Reviewer26610
on January 28, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 32.0
Side effects: Short term(only lasted a few weeks): nasty taste in mouth, drastic weight loss, nausea, headaches, constipation, violent mood swings, irrational irritability, heart palpitations.Long term: hand tremors (not persistent), insomnia, lack of appetite, occasional nausea (could possibly be attributed to multi-vitamin Im taking), increased sex drive.
Time taken and dosage: 60 days
Review: No longer depressed. Feel optimistic about future. I also have much more drive and energy to get what I want accomplished rather than just thinking about it. I feel happy almost all the time! Weight loss has tapered off which was good because I was thin to begin with - I lost 3 lbs in the first two weeks which doesnt sound like much but considering I am 56 and 115 lbs (now 112), I cant afford to lose an ounce. My appetite is still non-existent, but I just make myself eat at regular intervals and I do fine. Best of all - I quit smoking! The cravings are gone and even the smell of smoke makes me gag (husband still smokes - Im gonna kick him outside to smoke when the winter is over). This really is a wonder-pill!

Side effects: Bad taste in mouth, anger, insomnia, energy, weight lose, shakes, depression worsened
Time taken and dosage: 18 days
Review: Week1-bad taste in mouth began, had tremors and shakes the first 3 days only, couldnt sleep more than 2-4 hours a night (I usually sleep 7-8), and I noticed a wanting to distance myself from others (took all I had to go to work around other people)week2-bad taste still there, Extreme/irrational anger bordering on rage, sleeping better/more, withdrew from friends and family (only left my house for work and only talked when I needed to). Doc had told me to give it at least a month, maybe 6 weeks. At the end of week 2, I woke up one day feeling a little bit more like normal me.and the anger was gone. The next day was so much better! The only side effect now is the bad taste in my mouth. Food doesnt taste bad, just my mouth. OH! And weight lose. Been on celexa for years with about 40lbs weight gain and inability to lose no matter how hard I worked at it. Now Im down 16 lbs!! Weight lose was a lot the first few days and has leveled off to a lb every few days. I really thought I was going to have to quit it after the first two weeks. Im really glad I stuck it out. I feel normal again.

Time taken and dosage: 2 days
Review: I have been on Zoloft, 25-50mg for about 5 months, which took awhile to kick in (second month) but worked great over time, and I continue to notice new improvements. My problem is weight gain, about 7lbs and climbing and is not coming off with diet and exercise, (Im a dancer and cant afford this) and jaw clenching(which was tolerable). Im switching to Wellbutrin SR 150mg(generic) so I can feel good without getting chunky. Im doing 150 once a day for one week while still taking the Zoloft, then quitting the Zoloft and supposed to be going up to 300mg of the Wellbutrin (150, 2x daily) on week 2. This is my second day. I took meclazine (over the counter- I checked with the pharmacist who said it was ok) because the vomiting was aweful, and ibuprophen for the headache. Im still a little weak and shaky but better. Im not completely sure if these are side effects or a 24hr bug that my room mates just got over. Both are equally possible, but I dont have a fever so Im leaning toward side effects, but hoping it was just a bug. Guess Ill find out tomorrow and will up date later. In-the-Desert

Sex: F
Age: 44.0
Side effects: dizziness, nausea, headache
Time taken and dosage: 21 days
Review: I started taking 150 mg a day of Bupropion (generic) as I was weaning off of Effexor. The Effexor worked but made me gain weight. I did notice that for the first two weeks, I felt angry. I stopped taking for a few days and the anger went away. I started the Burpropion again two days ago and I have no anger, but I started with the headache. I am hoping it will go away as I think it is helping otherwise. I feel more upbeat and able to cope.

Side effects: transient aphasia
Time taken and dosage: 1 days
Review: I only took Wellbutrin for one day due to the side effect- transient aphasia. I could not speak! Literally. I took the pill and for the next hour or two I couldnt say a word; I could think clearly but couldnt produce speech. It was like my brain got disconnected from my mouth. Scary!!

Sex: M
Age: 58.0
Side effects: I forgot already. Oh right -memory loss!!!! My memory loss is getting worse -not sure why but to eliminate (it juts took me about 5 seconds to figure out how to spell that word) -notice how I spell just as juts -its like a dyslexia of sorts - I misspell words all the time -often the same words over and over! Very odd.
Time taken and dosage: 5 years
Review: I have had weight loss -225 down to 205. Ringing in the ears, manic times of speaking, very poor memory, poor decision making or inability to decide on anything. I have lost my home, job and wife these past 4 years. Is it the pill - or?? Its odd that so many of us have the same symptoms though. I would not be surprised of class action suit any day now due to the memory loss side affect. Did I say poor memory already.? :-) I am getting off this stuff asap -slowly but surely. I want to see how I am naked without this drug and go from there - will memory come back, will tinitus stop and will I spell correctly again. this could be quit a ride.

Anxiety

on December 27, 2009
Sex: F
Age: 43.0
Side effects: Increased energy, immediate weight loss, increased moodiness and short-temperedness
Time taken and dosage: 1 years
Review: I began taking this a couple of years ago, and took it for approx 1 year. Within days I noticed a marked increase in energy, and the weight (from 8+ years on Prozac), just melted off. I was ecstatic, and easily kept up the exercise as I had all those years of pushing myself. Unfortunately, though I didnt notice this as the cause, my mood had also changed considerably. I lost my temper very easily with my daughter, and our fighting and tiffs occurred almost daily. I couldnt understand it, blaming it on other circumstances during that time. I got off of Wellbutrin, and things went back to normal (normal moods, control of temper, also weight came right back on).I tried it again more recently (about 6 months ago), and could feel the moodiness creeping back by the second week, so got off of it right away. Was on 150mg both times. Would love to try again, if only for the energy and weight loss, but worry about un-justified moodiness. Will speak to my doctor about halving the dosage.

Side effects: increased energy for the first several months. Increased sex drive.
Time taken and dosage: 3 years
Review: This medication makes me feel like myself again. I hadnt realized how deep my depression had gotten until I started this med. The only negative thing I have to say about it was that it was very difficult to get off. I went off of it when I got pregnant with my third child and stayed off it until I stopped breastfeeding. It was a very rough month or so after I stopped.

Review: I had been taking Zoloft 150 mg daily for 5 months and it seemed to lose effectiveness. Just over a month ago I began taking buproprion 100 mg twice daily in addition to the Zoloft. I didnt see any improvement in my depression symptoms until just over 4 weeks. Then it seemed to kick in all at once -- side effects subsided, mood improved dramatically, and energy increased.

Time taken and dosage: 3 weeks
Review: I just want to say that I am so surprised at how well this drug helps me to not crave cigarettes. I didnt choose it to quit smoking, but holy moly, if I smoke now it does nothing for me, and the smell and taste of them really grosses me out. I will smoke one every now and then, because I do miss them but I dont crave them, at all. SO WEIRD.
