...I think a lot of people choose to take wellbutrin xl because it claims to have low risk of sexual side affects. That made me really not care about anything, including the fact that I had put on 40 pounds in 1 year.
There is no clinical experience establishing the safety of WELLBUTRIN XL Tablets in patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or unstable heart disease. However, though 6 days out of the week I feel as mentioned above, there is that one day which is HELL. Has anyone else had this I'm really getting concerned! Also, over the years I get paranoid at times, should I consider something for that Besides that (and whatever is happening now), it's been working great for me. My fathers sister and her two sons are on Wellbutrin now. Frustrated and frightened, I found a new doctor who prescribed Wellbutrin XL instead of placing me back on a SSRI. Doc said it was the Zoloft so he changed me to Lexapro. I have major anxiety with obsessive thinking which causes my anxiety and depression. I have had major compulsive systems such as addition to games, gambling, etc. Again, please let me know if you experience this as well so that I know what to tell the doctor at my next visit. I also can't say enough about the positive "side effects" of Wellbutrin: I have effortlessly lost weight and experienced a marked decrease in appetite, effortlessly quit smoking, and my libido is through the roof, accompanied by much greater sexual satisfaction. I was taken off the Adderall due to an insurance co. At a dose of 400 mg each day, there is a chance that approximately 4 out of every 1000 people will have a seizure.

Comment #193: wellbutrin for racing thoughts
...I have been depressed for many years and felt I could cope without meds. I like to loose weight but I don't want to loose my mine. Thus, if weight loss is a major sign of an individual’s depressive illness, the anorectic and/or weight-loss potential of Wellbutrin treatment should be taken into consideration. Avoid using bupropion to treat more than one condition at a time. A while back I guess about 8ish months ago there was a shortage of Wellbutrin and I was given the generic Bupropion but it was not the Bupropion I am on now. hopefully this med works for you, but it was terrible for me. Both brand-name Wellbutrin and so-called 'generic Wellbutrin' (i. I've been pretty calmed and relaxed and it has decreased my anxiety.

...Have been taking 300mg of generic Wellbutrin XL once a day in the morning. I don't really feel like smoking, now it's more like just habit or compulsion. I was formerly taking Paxil and wanted to try something new to see if maybe it could work alittle better. If you take Wellbutrin for depression, do not also take Zyban to quit smoking. I have been having bad mood swings and am crying more often than usual. puts me in absolute mania/hyperactivity. Since I started taking it my resting heart rate went from 60 to around 80. I feel totally useless and spaced out, my depression recurred and I have random fits of anger and crying.
WELLBUTRIN XL has been demonstrated to have similar bioavailability both to the immediate-release formulation of bupropion and to the sustained-release formulation of bupropion (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).
I am switching from Zoloft to Wellbutrin SR. Difficulty sleeping - but I had that before the Wellbutrin too.

Increased Depression and Wellbutrin"Can taking Wellbutrin XL cause a person to become depressed I'm just wondering if that could be a side effect. (At least this is what I read recently) Addicts have less dopamine receptor sites, and exercise builds new ones.
Patients should be advised to inform their physicians if they are taking or plan to take any prescription or over-the-counter drugs. My doctor saw the horrible state I was in and told me to stop taking Wellbutrin immediately. Initially started taking it for smoking cessation and it works.
Maybe that would help lessen my side effects.
He's home physically, but he's "not home". Decrease in libido from the start, but now the bad side effects are starting to increase. I hope this offers some encouragement to those who are just starting or are considering stopping. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. If distressing, untoward effects supervene, dose escalation should be stopped.

...Seasonal Affective Disorder: For the prevention of seasonal major depressive episodes associated with seasonal affective disorder, WELLBUTRIN XL should generally be initiated in the autumn prior to the onset of depressive symptoms. I won't let that be taken away from me!! I know that wellbutrin has low sexual side effects. It has a bitter taste and produces the sensation of local anesthesia on the oral mucosa. Therefore, if you experience a skin rash, hives, fever, swollen lymph glands, painful sores in the mouth or around the eyes, or swelling of lips or tongue, tell a doctor immediately, since these symptoms may be the first signs of a serious reaction. Just be carefull and continue to monitor each side effect as it appears and keep in regular touch with your doctor.

Also between the regular WB, the SR and the XL.
I had also gotten depressed again on 100 mg Zoloft, and the huge weight gain with it made everything worse. Women in menopause will sometimes experience this. I have my full range of emotions, and feel 100% like myself, without the burden of fatigue, mild depression and food cravings. I was entirely depressed and cried often, probably due to major post-partum as well as the change in my thyroid. I already am a busy body I have 3 kids and a husband and am pretty young. I realized after a few months that I was still so depressed over my son. I am using 150mg once a day and let me tell you, the difference it has made in just 4 short days is miraculous. I have never in my life felt the feelings I felt lately and they are sporadic and come one without warning, then I am completely fine again for several hours or even days.

...How should you take Wellbutrin
Wellbutrin withdrawal Pancreatitis - Chemical irritation with redness, swelling, and pain in the pancreas where digestive enzymes and hormones are secreted. I am CERTAIN that this is a side-effect from Wellbutrin as I have never experienced anything like this before. The high/low was very frightening for me. I do have increased energy and I'm experiencing somewhat improved focus and libido - which was basically nothing previously.
I also developed an itching but only in my hands.
It continues to bring virtually instant relief whenever I resume taking it. I give it a 2 because I do not know which was the most damaging: combination or pdoc's cold turkey suggestion. My libido, which I thought was dead, has returned, and my appetite for food has decreased.
This drug has saved my life. Wellbutrin XL was the worst anti-depressant I have EVER taken, and I would never recommend it to anyone. and feel like i am in a constant fog, have no appetite, lost about 6 pounds, (not necessarily a bad thing there)and my moods have been very erratic. Has anyone else had this particular side effect I've heard that tremors could happenis that what's happening to me Would appreciate anyone else who's had this and been fine.

Very fast heartbeat when starting on Wellbutrin. I just started going to a new psychiatrist after being off meds for over 6 months. I really regret going off and switching to wellbutrin. These feelings (mental and physical) absolutely scared me and I can't wait to get this drug out of my system. I lived with the rash for about 2 weeks and it was terrible. Anyone else experiencing these kind of side effects should really consider the fact that they are allergic to it.

This never happened to me on Prozac, Effexor (which I took years before), the tricyclics (which I took in my early twenties), or Paxil (which I took in my later twenties). The symptoms cease shortly after the period begins, and disappear with menopause. I think of the same experience over and over again.

...I have been on Effexor - 75mg/d - for about two years. I do a lot of work where I need to feel into my body and I feel the medication so heavily that it makes my work difficult. I was feeling depressed and took all of my pills than didn't get a refill (quit cold turkey). In several cases, neuropsychiatric phenomena abated upon dose reduction and/or withdrawal of treatment. Has worked like a miracle drug for me against my depression.
I've been on wellbutrin XL, 300mg for almost 4 months now and I don't really like it anymore. It was prescribed to treat depression and to help me wake up. At first, the intense dreams were freaking me out and I wanted to discontinue but these have quit (after approx 2 months on).

It is unknown whether or not the dose of WELLBUTRIN XL needed for maintenance treatment is identical to the dose needed to achieve an initial response. However, if after another 2 weeks you are still irritable and have other emotional symptoms, I would definatly call your doctor.
