Wellbutrin XL Update: 2 weeks

[@jennashmyr]

just wanted to mention, bupropion actually isn't a stimulant! it has stimulant-like effects. that is why people who have ADHD who cannot take stimulants like ritalin, are often prescribed it.

how did it turn out for you? im on my 3rd day today!

[@girlbye9714]

Ive been on Wellbutrin for 1 month. The first day- i felt it kick in, nothing major. Next day- i woke up with a huge headache. Took tylenol and was fine. Felt nauseous through out the day. This did continue for a couple weeks. Ive lost 8 lbs because I simply have no appetite. I feel great, I am not as depressed as I was when I started Wellbutrin. I feel mostly happy daily, I have my moments, but not like before. I am supposed to go to 300 mg after 2 weeks, I did and got a huge headache and started to feel really emotional. I went back to 75 mg the next day and have stuck to that and that seems better for me. Good luck to all

Thank you dearly Samantha for opening discussion about Wellbutrin and your experience taking it. That was very brave of you. Reading everyones experiences with the medication has help me immensely. Dear Danielle My experience the first time I tried getting on this medication was very similar to yours. By day 3 and 4 I felt like I was going insane! I had to get on a different antidepressant, it did work but I gained 40lbs and lost all sex drive and felt blah. I read that Wellbutrin was clinically best antidepressant with the least side effects. But... How to get on it with out going crazy. 🤔 I talked to my doctor and came up with a plan. My goal was to get up to 2 pills a day=300ml. I started out on a quarter of a pill. I did notice very mild side effects, jittery a bit of insomnia... As I began to feel stable on the dose I would increase the dose by one quarter again. Each time I would adjust I would feel better and better, I have to admit it's been a long journey but I'm very happy with this medication.

Wellbutrin is not a stimulant though. It is a safer alternative to amphetamines such as Adderall, Ritalin

abuse potential maybe, but Wellbutrin is black labeled meaning it can cause suicidal thoughts. Where Adderall's abuse potential comes from it being addictive cause its an amphetamine. Just food for thought.

I’m on seroquel and wellbutrin, seroquel puts me to sleep and helps my manic episodes. wellbutrin helps the grogginess and also my attention throughout my day. Seroquel makes you eat more and wellbutrin does the opposite, it’s a good happy medium to help maintain my current weight without overeating or not eating enough. getting correct rest while being in wellbutrin is essential to avoid anxiety attacks on it

Day 1, laughed my ass off, went on a boat ride with my mom and sister, my brain doesn’t burn like it did on lexapro and risperidone, I don’t feel hopeless anymore. I’m looking forward to 6 months of feeling myself so I can get off this medication, go to Mexico, study Spanish, drink some beers and live my life. I need to make a video like you because I had an adverse reaction with a risperidone injection for being “bipolar” which wasn’t a correct diagnosis because nobody believed that I was bipolar (not even the doctors at U of M) but after my injection, I couldn’t breathe, I was having panic attacks, I couldn’t think well, I was feeling insane because I temporarily had Akathisia and these side effects lasted a month and then after that bad experience I was like hell no to injections but the side effects were still haunting me after the injection left my system so I went onto lexapro hoping it would help my anxiety and depression and alleviate side effects but that didn’t work so my time on lexapro I became more hopeless, drowsy, panicky and my brain was burning. Today I took Wellbutrin for the first time after being on lexapro and Xanax for 22 days... I started my day feeling hopeless, panicky, agitated and on edge and now I’m smiling and laughing, the burning in my head stopped and I feel normal, I feel like studying Spanish again, I feel like a king only because I feel like myself but I’m not depressed or worried about anything, I pray that these effects persist and only get better because the people I love are counting on me to get better, once I’m become chemically balanced, I’m off these drugs forever, I’ll never look back, I hate medication but I truly believe I’m in dire need of it right now.

This is 3 years ago video, but I had a great experience with this medication. I was prescribed this medication for my depression and not being able to focus. It helped me get through college. As an older adult, I'm 29, I always want to try to go back to medication. I don't take anything now, but as an adult with "adult shit to do" I'm having a hard time trying to focus and get through things. This is my personal story with this medication. I also learn to make sure when you want to stop taking any antidepressants make sure you have a therapist. Someone to talk to and help you navigate without medication. I still work with mine. You have to realize that these meds help, but when you actually do therapy that helps so much more.

But then I have moments where I am more energized and my mind is racing. Yesterday I ran 5 miles and Im not a runner Ive never ran that much in my life so that was interesting.

[@minttjulep]

Bupropion can indeed increase anxiety in certain individuals especially people who have caffeine or stimulant sensitivities. It floods the brain with dopamine and increases epinephrine production (Adrenaline). Adrenaline will increase your heart rate which in turn can cause anxiety or panic attacks. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin for 6 years. After a while you most likely will not get the anxious side affects anymore. Research the drug for yourselves and don’t take my word or a teenage girl on KZbin’s word for it.

I have anxiety and panic disorder and I dont know if this is the medicine for me. I'm going to stick it out for the full month and pray it gets better. Good luck!

@G B honestly I'm going to stop taking it after trying it for a month. I dont like how I feel. Brain foggy and forgetful. I have been self medicating before trying wellbutrin, so I am going to try clean eating and exercise. Hopefully I wont have withdrawal. I've only been taking 150 mg so I think I'll be good.

Wellbutrin is actually not a stimulant but it is in the same category as caffeine as a psychoactive drug and yes stimulants give feelings of alertness and “energy” because caffeine blocks receptors in the brain that cause feeling tired. Your heart racing was a side effect that is rare among patients taking Wellbutrin.

[@b.henselae7276]

Hi! I’ve been diagnosed with a MDD a couple of years ago and with ADHD 3 months ago. I’ve been on several antidepressants such as Prozac, Altruline, Lexapro, Duloxetine and I haven’t had a stable response to them. I’m a physician, so I suggested my neurologist to start on Wellbutrin because of its demonstrated effect on both ADHD and MDD. At the moment I’m on Wellbutrin XL 300mg and Samexid (lisdexanphetamine) associated with lamotrigine so that I can get more control of my impulses. I can tell you it’s a great drug owing to its mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics profile. Hope you keep getting better💕

This video has helped me feel better about my side effects. I am using it for quiting nicotine, anxiety and depression. It's day three now and everything was fine until last night when i fell asleep and had the most vivid nightmare of my life. And I've felt like a zombie all day. I used marijuana heavily for a long time to help with my anxiety but it was a chore at times. This medication has made me feel the best I have in years. My anxiety is gone and this cleared all my worries that it gets better. Thank you :) Edit: if you are quitting smoking talk about it with your doctor it's day three of no smoking and I have no cravings and the thought of smoking makes me sick now. It has worked wonders

[@lukehelmsy1244]

@Jib Melon Hey dude, yeah it gets better. I have a lot of my side effects still but the dreams have noticably changed for the better. I do recall still having these vivid dreams but I can't remember them anymore like the first couple nights and they were mostly normal I think. As far as the worst I'm feeling right now is just a dry mouth and a mild headache. As far as that goes it's worth it to stick through it and it gets better. I cried tears of happiness instead of sadness for the first time in a long time. Stick through it and give it time to adjust. The "high" I was getting the first few days stopped as well. Fun at first gets old after three days lol

[@lukehelmsy1244]

@Jib Melon I forgot to add it's different for everyone. So if you think you should have a lower dose because it hasn't gotten better I'd talk to my doctor. I'm going today to see if I can switch to two smaller doses throughout the day because I still feel a little zombie like. I love that I get excited about things again though. Also I forgot to answer your question. Yes I had a full night's sleep finally but before that I think I only slept around 25-30 hours last week because of the medication.

I just started and have the same symptoms. I've felt this way before, when I tried quitting nicotine. This is nicotine withdrawal because it antagonizes the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. If you have ADHD and smoke this med may make you feel so exhausted and irritated that it's just not worth taking. My ears are ringing and my heart is beating so fast. Everyone reacts differently but this is why these effects occured for me at least.
