 2  Depression I'm no longer taking this medication. Wellbutrin caused me to feel in a fog and have bad eye focus. It didn't seem to help my depression, it only dampened my anxiety. I'm sure it works for some but was not for me. F 38

 1  Depression I'm no longer taking this medication. I think a side effect that lasts after you stop taking it, for me, is sexual dysfunction, can't feel stimulation normally. Nobody talks about that part. It's a very frustrating experience. I'm thankful for a very understanding and patient husband of 4 years now. F 58

 1  Depression SUICIDAL IDEATION Suicidal thoughts began within the first week of taking this drug. A voice in my head was saying "Why don't I just kill myself?", "You should just kill yourself", etc. This happened every day! Since I never had such terrible thoughts before, I figured it must be the new drug and stopped immediately. The thoughts went away and never came back. USER BEWARE! F 50 2 weeks

 1  depression, adhd alternative trtmt. hallucinations,psychosis,vivid dreams,serious cognitive difficulties, anxiety Dangerous, ruin or change your life type of crutch. Little known fact chemically it is exactly a "designer drug" circa 2013. Only take it if you really need to quit smoking (fast) and becoming sad during withdrawal or maybe for recurrent, ongoing melancholic major depression (actually quite rare) to getting out of bed, but it sure can bring a basket of disaster if you combine this with anything other than food.

 4  Depression and Anxiety Loss of Appetite, Feeling full after a few bites of food. Minor headaches that lasted a few minutes, Went away on its own quickly & only happened sometimes. Increased sexual desire & drive I've been on Wellbutrin for about 3-4 weeks now & it's definitely helped me feel less on edge all the time. It's helped me also lose weight lol , curbing my appetite & making me a little nauseous here & there NOW 3 weeks later, but it's alright lol. It's not debilitating for me, it's just a little annoying sometimes. Make sure you eat sometime before taking it if you're a nauseous person lol & stay hydrated! :) F 22 22 days

 5  To stop smoking Bad stomach pain, felt tired, bad headache that advil wouldn't touch, on the fourth day was going to stop taking it, but that day headache started to lift, didn't completely stop, but over the week each day got better until no more headche, lack of appetite After side effects were gone I felt normal for the first time in my life. I had no craving to smoke, I felt full for the first time in my life no cravings for sugar, carbs, no junk food what so ever. Before I stayed hungry all the time. Would wake up at 5 am feeling rested. Before never felt rested. Started cleaning my house and a junk room little by little. Before had to talk myself into cleaning and would put it off over and over. Went shopping for the first time that I didn't just have to. Just felt normal. It gets better and better each day. Very focused for the first time with a feeling of felling of it's going to be OK. I wish I would of found this med. a long time ago, but I'm grateful that I have found it! It does make me want to live a healthier life. F 55 1 months

 5  Panic Disorder and Anxiety I had nausea and drowsiness for the first 2 weeks and then again when my cycle would start. I got a Genesight test done to verify what I was taking was appropriate for my genes. I've tried 9 SSRIs which made things worse so my Dr. suggested trying Wellbutrin since it's different. It's been a God send! I'm focused and I'm calm. It's been 10 months and I can do things I used to not do and I have more confidence. F 34 10 months

 5  Adult ADHD Weight loss, appetite suppression, minor insomnia, dry mouth (faded after 2 weeks of use). This medication improved my energy levels and leveled out my mood, which is what I wanted it for. Because I was dealing with binge eating disorder, the appetite suppression was actually welcome for me, as it allowed me to reestablish my relationship with food. I don't think I would have lost weight (20lbs) if that hadn't been the case, so don't let that stop you. Insomnia on this low dosage is very minor for me, so much so that I wouldn't even call it insomnia. I used to be an amazing, dead to the world sleeper, and now I can't sleep in quite as long and I sleep lighter. Overall, I recommend trying this medication! My gp eased me into it—75mg/day, then 75mg twice/day, then 150 mg once/day. I tried 300 mg and the insomnia was too bad for me to continue. F 23 8 months
