User Reviews for Bupropion

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I started taking Wellbutrin after gaining 10 to 15 pounds on Paxil. I'd already tried Prozac. Wellbutrin did give me some uncomfortable side effects like ringing in the ears, sleepless nights and I did have a lot of panic attacks while I was getting started. So I had to take Zoloft with it for awhile, which canceled out my sex life. Now that I'm only on the Wellbutrin I've lost 10 lbs and my sex life is better than ever. No one drug works for everybody keep trying till you find the right one, don't suffer! My doctor choose this one so I could shed a few lbs. I gained on the other. 45yr old female married 18 years, 4 kids.. nice to know sometimes so you can relate.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): I have severe agoraphobia for 12 or so years. It's very hard to get outside. I have been on Prozac, Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor and Buspirone. I have maxed out them all. Each one has stopped working so now I take Wellbutrin 150 twice a day, Buspirone 15mg 3 times and Effexor 100mg 3 times a day. I was just taking Buspirone and Effexor and I still couldn't get outside. My doctor started me on Wellbutrin so now I take all 3 with no side effects. Took a few days for it to kick in now I can go out in yard to the store, but is still hard. But adding Wellbutrin helped a lot. I would recommend it if it doesn't help you can always go off it and try something else.

Wellbutrin SR (bupropion): I started taking Wellbutrin SR about 2 weeks ago and I am already noticing a difference. I had a lot of anger, frustration, stress, and small panic attacks with uncontrollable crying. Now since I have been taking it, I am much calmer and I am able to determine what is worth worrying about and what is not. I could not do that before. The crying has stopped and I no longer feel stressed or angry. The only side effect I have is a mild headache, a little insomnia, and extreme thirst. Those I can deal with versus what I was dealing with. I am definitely going to keep taking it.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): Gave me anxiety

Wellbutrin SR (bupropion): Before I started Wellbutrin SR, I had a severe panic disorder. I was prescribed Wellbutrin for another reason, but one side effect of it was to completely get rid of my panic attacks. I had a fear of driving over bridges, high places, and just driving. It has been a few years and I now see how unreasonable I was being and how my brain was overreacting. If anyone is having a problem with panic attacks, I would recommend to at least give Wellbutrin a try.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): Today is my second day and I feel okay. I am in transition from Celexa to Wellbutrin XL. I take Wellbutrin XL 150mg in the morning and Celexa 10mg in the evening. The only main noticeable side effects are I am a little anxious and I have stomach cramps. They are not terrible though. I expect to have some transition period. I know it sounds crazy but I lost 1 pound in the 1st day I took it. Celexa put 10 -15 lbs on me that I cannot take off even with exercise. I will keep you updated!
