I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 150 for about 3 weeks now. I decided to try wellbutrin again, this time for my increased anxiety levels, obsessive thinking, not being able to sleep, having times where I isolate myself to pull it together at home and at work. I am happy and whistling and singing again. Recently, I ran out of my meds and accidently went off it cold turkey. Unfortunately after 9 months I developed a hand tremor and had to stop taking it. I have had a previous episode of major depression that responded pretty well to Wellbutrin, but it took several months (weeks to notice improvement, months to get 'normal'). Cymbalta made me feel more depressed and made it extremely if not impossible to orgasm, but I find it easier to with Wellbutrin, and the sensations are more intense. Experiencing panic attacks several times a day will surely lower your quality of life.
Do not take Wellbutrin if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. just saw my dr yesterday)but, I'm frightened to death that it will make me more anxious, depressed and keep me from sleeping (which I'm lacking severely). incredible!!!!

Wellbutrin withdrawal - Pollakiuria – Urinating much more frequently than normal – as often as once every five to fifteen minutes. ) was present in approximately one-half of the patients experiencing a seizure. i don't drink/do drugs, and i didn't want to suggest to the doctor that he put me on adderall because i know it is abused my a lot of people, but i truly believe that this is what i need.
I was on Zoloft for a while and hated it. Side effects included insomnia (if taken later in the day), dry mouth. However I believe it is not for everyone, and you must be the final judge of your needs. I could not live with becoming obese, 40 pounds in 4 years. I say, listen to your body!! Anyways, I guess what I'm on here for is to offer my support to anyone dealing with panic attacks, they're AWFUL and scary, and I think they do definitely get exacerbated by all of these drugs. I'm really anxious and can have a difficult time making eye contact with people.

Wellbutrin withdrawal - Ecchymosis – When a blood vessel breaks and creates a purple discoloration of the skin. Even my own daughter doesn't know me and tells me she would rather me be sad then to be yelling and screaming (sometimes at people I dont even know). I am also switching to Wellbutrin from Effexor which I got off of specifically for the strange "buzzing" sensations it would cause. I am nauseated all the time with episodes of vomitting. It has helped the anxiety and depression and my energy level enormously but I have the dry mouth, sleep only two hours per night, constant racing heart, blurred vision, inability to remember things and learn new information. Certain factors increase the risk of seizure, including: A history of head trauma or previous seizure Central nervous system tumor Severe liver disease such as cirrhosis A history of eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia Excessive use of alcohol, or abrupt withdrawal from alcohol or sedatives Taking medications that lower the seizure threshold (see "Possible food and drug interactions when taking Wellbutrin")
Wellbutrin is used to treat major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder. So many negative comments, I'm glad I'm not taking it anymore. Believe some people are very sensitive to meds, have known this my whole life, so if a small dose doesn't work it doesn't mean to up it. Of course, you should always check with your physician prior to starting any medication, and you should be monitored regularly during treatment. I couldn't sleep and had several crying episodes a day where I just felt absolutely desperate. Cymbalta soothed my emotions, but made my heart race and made my legs hurt (circulation ) I've kept a journal since I've been on Wellbutrin and I just feel so much better now. I go a couple of hours and go WOW I didn't think of a cigarette. As a result, a person can become irritable, have difficulty concentrating and feel a lack of energy.

Patients should be made aware that Wellbutrin contains the same active ingredient as Zyban (used to aid in quitting smoking) and as such, Wellbutrin should not be used in conjunction with Zyban or any other bupropion-containing medications.

The first few days of Wellbutrin sucked. Tried Prozac first but switched because I didnt like the effect Prozac had on my libido. BUT, unless you took a nose dive into a gallon of vodka you'll be okay.

Other side effects that I LIKE is decreased appetite and increased sexual functioning.
I'm so glad you have this forum! I have been on 300 mg of Wellbutrin for about 2 months. I feel like I'm just waiting around for it to kick in. At 150MG, I had some positive results with just a very dry mouth and a little dizziness for a couple of days, but when the dosage was increased to 300MG, I began to develop bad side effects. Anyways I am really considering not taking this medication after reading all of these side affects. I think it might have been the Welchol since I recently stopped taking it and have noticed the hair loss is not as bad. It also reaked havic on my menstural cycle. This particular drug combination could cause you to experience a sudden, dangerous rise in blood pressure. Has anyone else experience the side affects and they went away
- #80 how long does wellbutrin stay in the body
It's odd that you, Lynne Lofton, say that changing from Wellbutrin to Bupropion made you feel awful. the generic before I send away for my 90 day supply. then the headaches and fogginess started. At first I felt pleasantly energized ~ my manias are usually dysphoric so I enjoyed feeling over-the-moon happy for a while instead of paranoid and angry. I am from the South and after my experience with Hurricane Rita, I have been in a black hole and cant crawl out.
Wellbutrin withdrawal Concentration Impaired - Unable to easily focus your attention for long periods of time. Meds only came up due to recent severe self pity moments triggered by stress.

I have only been taking wellbutrin for a few months and so far it has been working for me.
At first I felt a bit of a rush but that went away after a week or so. My question and/or concern is the correct way to stop. Basically if it isn't broke, then don't try to fix it is how I can summarize this experience. It certainly does not solve my mood swings at all. However, further investigation showed that seizures were primarily associated with high doses (above the current maximum recommended dose of 450 mg/day), a history of seizures or brain trauma, an eating disorder, excessive alcohol use, or taking other drugs that can also increase the risk for seizures. I have been on 150mg for 4 days now and I am supposed to go up to 300 here in about 3 days but Im not sure if i'll be able to handle it. I can't wait to see how much more it will continue to improve. I felt fine with the SR and it helped bring back a bit of my libido which had been lagging from being on lexapro. I can't believe I even started to take the medicine. I am feeling more able to spend time with our friends though, after a long time of them complaining that I was never around. I felt like I was on a speed-like high all the time but couldn't concentrate or remember anything.

I am taking 150mg of Wellbutrin XL and it is working very well. we're trying to back down the zoloft b/c of the continuous tremors. What I find strange is that I can cause that sensation to occur without fail by moving my eyes from left to right very quickly.

Wellbutrin produces dose-related CNS stimulant effects in animals, as evidenced by increased locomotor activity, increased rates of responding in various schedule-controlled operant behavior tasks, and, at high doses, induction of mild stereotyped behavior. Muscles are normally partially tensed and this is what gives us muscle tone. Wellbutrin, the brand name of bupropion, had the lowest overall rate of sexual dysfunction.
