For Depression "I was on Wellbutrin XL 150 mg for 16 weeks. I was experiencing dizziness, hair loss, migraines, constipation, and fatigue. I saw my psychiatrist, and she suggested I try the name brand and gave me 4 weeks of samples to try. Immediately, my side effects went away. I felt so much better. Unfortunately, my insurance would not approve the PA for the name-brand Wellbutrin. I ended up switching to Aplenzin, which is similar to Wellbutrin, it just came out. It is working well. So point is, if you are experiencing side effects, don’t get off the medication, try a name brand. Hopefully, your insurance will pay for the name brand. The funny thing is my insurance would pay for name-brand Wellbutrin. They are paying for Aplenzin, which costs more than the name brand."

For Depression "Started out okay on 150 mg. Moved up to 300 mg. Okay at first, then after a few months, side effects kicked in. My memory was getting much worse, balance was off. Hard time walking straight. I was in bad shape. It's hard to get in to see the doctor, so I quit taking them completely. Within two weeks, I was back to my old self. Never again!"

"Only on day 4, and I don’t like the feeling. I am lightheaded, dizzy, and very nauseous. I get a bit agitated because of the symptoms, so I hope it’s very temporary. I am hopeful and will give it the 2 weeks the doctor suggested. I am on 150 mg a day. For years, I have had anxiety that just keeps getting worse, and minor depression issues, and some anger issues. I hope this is the right drug and dose because so far I don’t feel great, and I hope to feel better soon."
