Okay so I started taking Wellbutrin XL on January 31st. The mg is 150. I have been told by my therapist and psychiatrist that I suffer from Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. I have always suffered from depression since a young age. I have tried to commit suicide when I was 11. When I was 15 I suffered from anorexia. When I was 18, my mood would change very drastically during the day. One hour I will be the happiest person ever and then I will be all mean and angry and have

I have been prescribed 20mg of Adderall XR daily for two years mainly for the reason that I'm extremely fatigued all the time. About 4 months ago I also got prescribed 20mg of Celexa daily for anxiety/depression and I found that made me feel really "blah" (Sorry, I don't know how else to describe it) so my doctor cut the Celexa down to 10mg daily and added 75mg of Wellbutrin (to start out with, and plans to increase the dosage over time) saying it should give me "spunk". I've only been on the

I've been treated for major depressive disorder since 2002. I've been through a load of therapists, most uncaring losers in it for the money. Started with Wellbutrin was switched to Zoloft in 2003. Put on Cymbalta in 2008. I was worse a week ago than I was 10 years ago (sound familiar?) when I stopped, cold turkey. I reamed out my shrink for some of the crap I was put through. I reamed his boss out too. The week before Christmas I was under severe stress as a commuter bus driver. I actually ha

says that psychologists are what they call deceivers and taking medication just proves I am not following gods word.therefore will end up in hell for looking to man for help instead of god. It sucks b/c i really like the church i was going to. I started to feel comfortable there and attended a bible study and started to share my story, only to be insulted. And i just started getting myself back into church. I am wrong or is he? I mean the medication(wellbutrin) really brightens my mood, and m

I am 18 and have dealt with depression before. Long story short I've attempted suicide (through overdosing) and luckily, it didn't work. I've been to a mental health facility before and got out early because all my symptoms (Depression, suicidal thoughts) were absent. I am an outgoing fun guy and I'm not afraid to show it. I have been prescribed Wellbutrin for depression and Risperidone as a mood stabilizer. The risperidone made me into a lifeless zombie and i havent taken it for about a year

I had been taking 20mg of prozac daily for the past 7 months. Within that time frame, I gained 20 lbs. Because of this, my doctor put me on Wellbutrin and lowered my dose of prozac. So i am on 300 mg of Wellbutrin and 10mg of prozac. Will taking the lower dose of prozac help me control my weight?

I have also caught this person lying several times and they seem to not have the best memory. I really love them but am not sure what to do.

im a schizo and ive been taking clozaril for years, i need a change and im doing some research and i came across lithium which ive taken before before i knew i was schizo and thought i was bipolar although i knew i had voices. lithium worked well back then and i took it with serequel. i need something new, serequel had started giving me heart palpatations. im lookin at other antipsychotics but abilify gave me bad anxiety and geodon gave me E.D. that still hasnt recovered all the way. i like th

I am trying to quit smoking. I am taking Wellbutrin and using the patch. The biggest problem seems to be that the patch isn't enough. I quit smoking a few years ago when I smoked about a pack a day (using the patch). In the last couple years I have been smoking about 1-1/2 to 2 packs a day. What is the best remedy here? They say just use one patch. Should I try cutting back and cutting back until I am down to one pack a day and then try the patch? Seems like I am wasting these patches and ge

HI tommorow im starting on the generic verion of wellbutrin sr. i am on it for depresion and binge eating. what have been your results on it and how long does it take/what was it like when your first started it?

I am currently a pursuing 2-year degree in Medical Information Technology. I will graduate in May 2012, barring unforeseen circumstances. I work full-time as a billing specialist at a local outpatient clinic in my town, for nearly four years now. During my time there, I slowly came to have a desire to actually *help people*, instead of helping people with their bills. I figured a career in nursing would help me fulfill this desire. Now, for my stats: I am a 27-year-old lady, suffering

I was on seroquel before but it was causing weight gain. I have gained about 30 pounds in the last yr. Does anyone do anything besides diet and exercise to help with the weight gain. I am think of discussing metformin for sure, topimax as a mood stabilizer and to help with losing weight and seeing if the Wellbutrin (for smoking and to help with losing weight) would be okay to take now that I am somewhat stabilized. Any experience??

I am taking 300mg of wellbutrin sr and 40 mg of adderall daily to help my depression, anxiety, add and stress. I also take klonopin and adavan as needed . For panic attacks or severe anxiety. Is all this ok? I can't sleep at night and I'm a zombie during the day.......

So I'm nineteen, & I've had suicidal thoughts on & off since I was fifteen. I've been to four different psych-wards in the past two years for contemplating suicide. I've been on prozac, zoloft, buspar, geodon, paxil, & wellbutrin; nothing I take works. I've had two different psychiatrists diagnose me with Asperger's Syndrome. Most people think I'm a good kid, but that I also have a dark side about me. For example; I don't drink, do drugs or even have premarital sex, but I have a really bad att

I've been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and I take 200 mg of Seroquel XR and 12 mg of Ambien at night. While the Seroquel is an effective antidepressant, it increases my appetite immensely. It's causing me to gain weight and that's something that I simply can't deal with. I wasn't even told about the "weight gain" side effect when I was started on it 2 months ago, and if I had known I wouldn't have started taking it. I've been told that the only thing I can do is just gain self cont

They are none stop one after another and it feels like I'm trapped in a world that's faster then me. Is this a normal side effect for wellbutrin sr? It's my 3rd day taking it. They just switched me from viibryd to the wellbutrin. Im taking it for bad depression, anxiety an stress. Please help

I am 30 years old. I have been having shortness of breath and difficulty with mild/moderate activity, since I had the bird flu a couple of winters ago. I am a smoker. I have smoked since I was 16 years old (14 yrs total). I started as a half a pack smoker, then a pack a day smoker and every 3-5 years or so I would jump up by half a pack. I had recently jumped to 2 packs a day. I went to the doctor who performed a lung function test (70 or 80% or normal), X-rays (normal), and the ABG showed

I started taking wellbutrin last march, and in the first week I noticed huge changes in my life. It got my binge eating under control (i'm not overweight, but i'm trying to lose my last 10 pounds), and made me more motivated to do everything. I was so happy, the month of april was the best time in my life. I dropped from 155-135 in 2 months. But after that, it stopped working. Now i'm back to the way I was before but i'm too scared to tell my Dr. in case he puts me on a different anti-depressa

I am 30 years old. I have been having shortness of breath and difficulty with mild/moderate activity, since I had the bird flu a couple of winters ago. That flu did permanent damage to the lungs of everyone I know that caught it. Examples: Male 32 endurance athlete had a significant reduction in his athletic performance. Super morbidly obese women in her early 50’s now can barely walk across the house (she had already been short of breath considering her weight and other health problems, but I

I have been on it for few years and have had issues with it all along. My anxiety was increased and insomnia as well. It made me restless gave me headaches. I kept taking it because it worked great for my depression when nothing else would. In last few months I have been having panic attacks, harmed myself, had chest pains, dizziness, extreme agitation, etc. I was told to get off the stuff because I was heading towards a seizure or a stroke. I really hate to get off it even after all this so

For the last month, every time I poop, there is blood when I wipe. The toilet paper isn't drenched in blood, but it takes about 2 wipes to get all of the blood. I have a hairless butt, and I've looked at it in the mirror...it doesn't look abnormal to me. I've also been a tiny bit constipated in the last month. A few things have happened a month ago that I think could possibly be the reason behind the blood. I have had anal sex, so I'm afraid maybe it's genital warts in my anus (but there were

I haven't dealt with depression since I was in my teens, I'm 29 now... I have a friend who took Wellbutrin during here pregnancy and it helped a lot. Is it better to just deal with being unhappy or should I take something to help me be positive and energetic??

I'm on 150xl just wondering If anyone has experienced weight loss

So my Psychiatrist switched me from Buproprion SR 150 mg (generic version of wellbutrin which I have been taking twice a day) to Wellbutrin XL 150 mg (which says once per day on the bottle). However, my psychiatrist told me to take the Wellbutrin XL twice per day right after he told me he is going to keep my dosage basically the same. So what should I do only take it once per day because the new medicine is extended release 150 mg tablets??

I have a very bad headache and took aleve. I take Wellbutrin 100 mg 2x a day. Is this ok?

Is Wellbutrin XL 300 mg a good antidepressant? My main issue with depression is Fatigue & not interested in doing what I used to do. Those are my 2 issues with depression.

I take Xanax at bedtime & was just prescribed Wellbutrin XL 300mg to take in the morning. Can you take both in the same day? My physician knows I would be on both But I read an article on Wellbutrin XL & it says not to take sleeping aids & Xanax makes me a little sleepy. And would 300mg be a high dose considering I have never been on Wellbutrin before at all? I'm nervous starting out at 300mg a day..

I have been taking Wellbutrin XL since the beginning of this month which is Feb 1. Ever since then I can not sleep, I have terrible stomach pains, I feel very nauseous all the time, I get very aggressive and agitated by every little thing. I see my psychiatrist on Tuesday next week but I want to know if this is something serious and if I should try to schedule an appointment with her sooner? Thank you!

I don't take xanax on the regular. I only take it when I know I need to be calm and think I'll have a panic attack. Right now, I'm crying so hard that I'm legitimately about to have an asthma attack. And I'm so upset about things right now that I'm literally making myself throw up. Can I take a xanax in this situation? To calm me down and make me feel a little better? If it helps any, I'm on 150 (i think) mg of wellbutrin, 30 of cymbalta, and 150 of luvox.

I suffer from bipolar and ADHD. I've been on lamictal and Wellbutrin and they were great but the Wellbutrin kinda fizzled out. Ive been on strattera for 2 weeks fine but I've now fallin in a hole. I'm crabby depressed anxious and having restless leg syndrome. I'm doing horrible in school and been feeling extremely suicidal. Plus I can't afford to see my pdoc. Someone please help.

I'm 12 weeks today I haven't had any problems til this morning when I woke up at 6 am with the D and stomach pains. Next thing I know I'm throwing up in my mop bucket! The meds they have me on is Prenatal, promethazine for nausea, nitofurantoin monohy for bladder infection, and wellbutrin to "stop smoking" . I just got the badder infection meds yesterday. Could it be pregnancy, medication, or virus because I still feel horrible!

Ever get the feeling that you're in your thirties and think you're mostly doing what youre supposed to be doing, but still arent sure where you're headed?

Long story short.. I've gained 10 pounds in a month with regular exercise.. Nothings really changed, but I did stop taking my meds cold turkey. Could that be the reason? Here's what I was taking: Prozac- 40mg Wellbutrin-120mg Doxycycline-100mg Plus a multivitamin and a 3mg melatonin I took every night. Thanks.

Obviously, I am going to talk to my doctor and do what she says. But I want to know. Will my withdrawl symptoms from wellbutrin be intense? (i was taking it for a little over a month at 200 mg) I assume I will be weening off it. But yeah...what do you think?

Hi. So I was just wondering why I've heard so much about welbutrin not helping anxiety? I'm taking for anxiety and panic attacks and it seems to helping me maybe not as much as I want but I don't feel as anxious as I used to. and also this isn't the first antidepressant I've tried I was on effexor celexa and paxil before welbutrin. I know welbutrin usually isn't the first one doctors go for for anxiety. but just curious does it really not help that much? Thanks!

Hi. I am Connor. I am taking 200 mg of Wellbutrin SR but about to switch over to 300 mg Wellbutrin XL. I wanted to know how long it works. I have been taking it for a little over a month and it has helped my thoughts (I am add, and now can focus more) I feel like it is doing nothing for my depression. At least not yet. I am scared to keep going because I don't want to become suicidal or anything and I feel like if nothing happens my depression will get worse, because I do have some anxiety but

The Ob/GYN prescribed me Wellbutrin to "stop" smoking. It's an anti depressant pill.... I'm suppose to take one tablet twice a day for 3 days, then one tablet three times a day. I have 6 refills of 90, 100 MG's. Has anyone ever taken this while pregnant and what happened to you. I am 11 1/2 weeks. I take this pill and I fill out of my mind! I'm tingling, spacey, I feel like I just smoked pot. No lie. I don't want this to hurt my baby but he says this is all I can take that doesn't have nicot

Anyways, my questions is how long until the positive affect start to come into play? Anyone familiar with this drug?

Just wondering if anyone here in UK has gotten this drug for depression? Or even just to quit smoking? Did you get it on NHS prescription? As far as I can see, it doesn't seem to be approved in the UK (for depression...despite the side effects being less, or not no worse than the other antidepressants). Some websites say it HAS just been approved. If you got it online, which website was it? I've not made up my mind yet what route to take, but if I do buy it online, I'd like somewhere I c

Hey everyone! Long story short, I was diagnosed with adult ADHD-I last year at 17. Went on adderall, lost a lot of weight, my depression came back fulle force, was taken off, and am now on Wellbutrin. I JUST started it today, and I can already feel some effects.

I'm already studying more, planning to get healthier physically again, and feel in total control for the first time
