Reviews for bupropion systemic to treat Bipolar Disorder

Wellbutrin (bupropion): Wellbutrin relieved my internal feelings of turmoil but turned me very edgy, rude, and angry at inappropriate times. Not a fun person to be around. And while it helped me emotionally alittle, it did nothing spectatular.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I feel relatively "up" compared to how my lows used to be. My up times seem more productive and I have gained some interest in things I used to do i.e. painting. My lows still put me in a horrible state but I do not cry constantly like I used to. I am very happy with Wellbutrin.

Wellbutrin SR (bupropion): I started taking Wellbutrin SR 4 days ago. I took it in addition to Seroquel XR. It helped for a couple of days. During those days I only experienced some dizziness, and decreased appetite and sex drive. Although yesterday evening I was hospitalized with a 5 minute long grand-mal seizure. I don't have a history of seizure disorders, and the Doctors believe that this seizure was caused by Wellbutrin SR. If you take Wellbutrin SR and antipsychotics together, I suggest that you speak with your pharmacist or health provider.

Wellbutrin SR (bupropion): Been on Wellbutrin and Clonezapam since 1994 to treat my bipolar. I was put on Wellbutrin SR in 2000. Works very well for my condition. Feel very even keeled and all my troubles evaporates in thin air. I don't feel irritable or obsessed over things like I used to.
Side effects I have experienced.
I have to be careful during the summer months when its extremely hot. I get dehydrated very quickly. Drink lots of water and drinks with electrolytes.
Decrease in sex drive due to vaginal dryness.

Wellbutrin XL (bupropion): I was originally switched to Wellbutrin SR, cold turkey, and suffered horrible side effects until my system got used to it. When the XL came out I was hesitant to change over, but I did so with no side effects and pretty good results.

Budeprion XL (bupropion): Medicine was supposed to curve my depression. All it did was spike my mania. My doctor did tell me this so beware if you have bipolar disorder and are in a manic phase this medicine could spike your mania making it worse.

Budeprion XL (bupropion): When this generic was added to my large list of drugs (including one other anti depressant) I became the most mellow person in the world. Nothing upsets me. Everything moves along nicely. Feel a little disassociated with the world actually. BUT I QUIT SMOKING! So now I won't let them take it away.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I was prescribed this medicine for my bipolar disorder. It helped me a lot. I felt great and my relationship with my family improved. After 3 weeks though, I had a severe allergic reation to the Wellbutrin (bupropion) and had to go to the ER twice in a week. I had hives, swollen eyes and lips, trouble breathing, sore joints. As soon as I was taken off of it, my symptoms went away. It is not common for this to happen and I do recommend it.
