Avatar n tn As with all medications, you may experience side effects when you take WELLBUTRIN XL. Side effects may be more common shortly after you start treatment. The most common side effects with WELLBUTRIN XL are weight loss, loss of appetite, dry mouth, skin rash, sweating, ringing in the ears, shakiness, stomach pain, agitation, anxiety, dizziness, trouble sleeping, muscle pain, nausea, fast heartbeat, sore throat, and urinating more often.
Avatar n tn I have been on wellbutrin xl for 7 days now. The side effects I have are anxiety, dizzyand , dry mouth My doctor told me to take xanax with it until the side effects go away. Any idea when that will be??? I keep trying to take wellbutrin alone to see if the side effects are going away, but I usually end up taking the xanax a few hours in because I just can't handle al the jittering and other side effects I am getting. Should I hang in there a little longer of stop taking it?
Avatar f tn You might want to give the regular Wellbutrin a try once a day instead of the XL if your Dr refuses to prescribe the XL. 200 mgs would be a high starting dose in my opinion.
Avatar m tn After 10 years of use, I have weaned myself off of Paroxtetine and Wellbutrin XL. It took 2 months with the aid of St.John's Wort. Now I have ceased that usage. The downside to this is my sleep cycle is totally screwed up. I an waking at 3-4 am everyday and am unable to sleep during an afternoon nap. Will a more suitable sleep pattern ensue?
Avatar n tn Is chronic sore throat and sinus inflammation a possible side effect of Wellbutrin XL 150? My doctor has been unable to clear up this problem with antibiotics, allergy medications, decongestants, expectorants, etc and the problem started within a few days of me started WB appx 6 weeks ago. Maybe it's a coincidence, but if not are these side effects transient? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I started the Wellbutrin XL 150mg about 2 weeks ago. No side effects, or positive effects - really, no effect at all. I just went up to the 300mg (it's been 2 days), and I want to make sure my side effects are normal. I have a call into my doctor as well. I have had a dull, constant headache. A little light-headed if I get up too quickly. Haven't been sleeping well, but that's not too bad. The worst symption I'm having is lower back pain...
703852 tn?1233427763 Those are tough side effects to live with...ask your doctor about taking you off the xl and lowering the dose to see if you can acclimate to the medication without these side effects...you may have started too high.
656309 tn?1224489859 d probably give it more time if you can handle the side effects. Hopefully things will stabilize for you. I always take Wellbutrin in the morning as it sometimes makes me a bit giddy and agitated. I kind of wish it was sedating as I have trouble sleeping most nights. Maybe take it at night when you need to sleep anyway? Hope it works for you.
Avatar f tn It should take a few weeks before you will start to feel the positive effects of the med, whereas the side effects should start to resolve in about 1-2 weeks. Keep us updated...hope you get to feeling better soon!
Avatar n tn Since Budeprion XL’s introduction in 2006, numerous consumers who had previously been treated with Wellbutrin XL reported adverse side effects upon switching to Budeprion XL, including headaches, insomnia, nausea, and mood swings. Many patients also reported a loss of antidepressive effect.
Avatar f tn Your general doc is wrong, of course. This is why you see a psychiatrist. And my guess is, if these drugs are working, your problem very well may be depression, especially if wellbutrin worked -- it's one of the most stimulating of the antidepressants which is why it doesn't cause the weight gain that most antidepressants cause.
4951398 tn?1365456743 I've never heard of this being a side effect of Wellbutrin. You may want to give your Dr or pharmacist a call. They will know if this could be a possible side effect.
Avatar f tn My doc prescribed Wellbutrin XL since the Lexapro made my depression even worse, excessive sleeping, etc. My question is - can I still take 1 mg of Klonopin to help with anxiety, prevent panic attacks? I've taken Wellbutrin before for a bad depression and know that it makes a person more energetic but also jittery at times. Any advice? Could I combine Lexapro 10 mg with the Wellbutrin XL 150 mg? Thanks everyone!
Avatar n tn I was recently diagnosed with major depression and started taking generic Wellbutrin XL. Within a week of taking Wellbutrin 150 mg, I noticed changes in my libido, which continued to decrease. After two weeks I moved up to 300 mg, and my libido became almost nonexistent and I've been unable to have a complete erection. I've been on Wellbutrin for 4 weeks now and my sexual side effects have not subsided.
800430 tn?1237762624 XL helped me with the side effects, it reduced/eliminated them while I was increasing my dose.
Avatar f tn I am having side effects from Wellbutrin Sr after one week: Had to lower dose because of insomnia, but now feel Nasty agitation, increased anxiety, atpical depression. This has been only ONE week. I have read of some people who said this med can be a bit tricky in the beginning, others who discontinued. I was unable to reach my doctor.
Avatar n tn I was on Wellbutrin xl for about a year but lost my insurance and was unable to afford it. It worked great except for an occasional panic attack. My doctor decided to try some different meds that would be on the walmart generic plan for $4. First it was zoloft that has awful sexual side effects, and in turn would cause problems with my husband. Now I am on celexa which I absolutely HATE!!! I am so tired. I have four children and I dread everyday that i have to get up.
Avatar f tn -Mary4868 I suffer from depression, and my doctor did try me on Wellbutrin a while ago. I'm not sure about it being a "wimpy drug", but i do know that i had to stop taking it because of some side effects. i think if i remember right, it made me pretty tired, and also really irritable. i think if i were you, i would try effexor. my mother takes that and she has had really good luck with it.
Avatar n tn My boyfriend's doctor has just recently prescribed Prozac, Wellbutrin XL and Effexor for his depression. My question is, is it safe to take all of these prescriptions at the same time? My boyfriend is also having a hard tiome sleeping at night, he twitches and has a hollow feeling in his legs and arm that doesn't seem to be going away, what can he do?
Avatar f tn I am currently on 20mg of Lexapro, 450mg of Welbutrin XL both in the morningband am transitioning up to 45mg of Buspar a day (15mg 3x a day, currently at 7.5mg at night)... I struggled a lot and had unbearable side effects with Paxil, trazadone and a few other meds.
Avatar f tn my hormones were low so dr put me on hormone pills and thyroid pills,i haad been on wellbutrin sr about 1 year 300 mg to counteract sexual side effects from prozac,it didnt help though,so my dr changed me from 300 wellbutrin sr to 450 mg xl,tonight for the first time in ages i feel kind of dizzy..ondering if it might be to high of a change over on the wllbutrin,,hoping after prozac is out of system i will have a sex drive any info would help or has anyone switched from the sr to the xl?
Avatar f tn My mood is flat other than wanting to burst into tears, and I am ANGRY. When will (and do?) the side effects fade? When does the Wellbutrin start to boost mood? I have had a return of sexual function, for which I am grateful. However, I would like to have a REAL life and a sex life.
Avatar f tn I am going on my 5th week of Wellburtin XL 150. I went on it for anxiety but after taking it starting have bad depression. I was crying everyday and feeling horrible. Well about 3 days ago I started to feel better. Went to the doctor today and she gave me Klonpin 1mg to half and start taking at night. I have really bad anxiety and she thinks this along with my Wellburtin should help me. But, she said if I started to feel worse to up my Wellburtin to 300mg.
Avatar f tn Your symptoms sound like the withdrawal effects are masking the positive effects of the wellbutrin...did you wean yourself slowly or just stop...if you just stopped, you might go back on small dose for a week, then wean yourself over next two weeks, every other day for week two, and every third week for week three.
Avatar m tn and it is not listed as a side effect in any drug book. But there are always side effects they never tell you about. And different ppl react differently. How long have you been on the Wellbutrin before that started happening? I have been experiencing short term memory loss and having a hard time concentrating, can't stay focused? Anyone else having that?
Avatar n tn I had one at the beginning of month (it is regulated by birth control) and after 2 days of being on the new bupropion... I am having what seems to be another period?? Are re-having the side effects of the same drug normal??? Would the drug mess with my cycle?? even though the previous one never did? and it is supposed to be the same thing?
