wellbutrin

Avatar n tn ve been precribed it to quit smoking, but would love to have the best version of it to lose some pounds while working on my smoking habit.
Avatar n tn I have never used wellbutrin for weight loss, but I was given a script for it once to help stop smoking. I took it for about 3 months; it didn't help me stop smoking, nor did it help me lose weight. You would need to talk to your doctor about getting off it safely.
Avatar m tn That's how much I take each day. My hair is falling out. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to stop taking it because it has helped me quit smoking, gives more energy, and I've lost 20 pounds already. BUT, my hair (on my scalp) is falling out/thinning. WHAT TO DO?

Avatar f tn Is anyone getting ringing in the ears from taking Generic Wellbutrin(Bupropion sr ) 150 mg. Here is my situation I have been on amitriptiline 25 mg 4 years then went up to 50 mg for 3 years. I started taking only one 150 mg of bupropion sr this is my 5 day. Can I stop taking the amitriptiline with no withdrawls after only 5 days of Bupropion? or has it not been long enough. I hoping that I can stop the amitriptiline by taking the bupropion sr in place of the amitriptiline.
Avatar f tn He then prescribed Wellbutrin which I thought was strange because all the research I had done said it was for depression and to help one to stop smoking. I took it anyway and within 3 weeks I felt better than I had in years. This past couple weeks I felt I was slipping backwards so I went back to the Doctor and he increased the dose to 300mg. My question is? Has anyone else been prescribed Wellbutrin that has anxiety and or OCD? What are your experiences?
1226489 tn?1267201838 In order to continue to provide you with immediate relief from your anxiety, it is often useful to begin an antidepressant and an anti-anxiety simultaneously due to the fact that the antidepressant (i.e., Wellbutrin SR in your case) will take about four weeks to get in to your system and start working. While my guess is that your doctor would like to see you perhaps halve your current dose of 0.25mg Klonopin in addition to beginning 0.
Avatar f tn im on xanax for anxiety wellbutrin sr for derpession and ritalin to boost me...been on ritalin since june 3 last couple days i have tingling all thru my body...
1327604 tn?1281866607 I see that some people state they have success with NRT therapies, i have a small issue with this due to the fact that people are not addicted to smoking , people are addicted to nicotine & NRT therapies are simply replacing one addiction for another, similar to saying a person has had success quitting heroin & now they only use methadone ??
Avatar n tn I've been on Wellbutrin XL 150 mg for about 6 months...I recently started taking once a day SR...to me the SR is less effective...I don't fell anything...it doesnt really feel like it curves my depression. I only tried it to compare the difference...I prefer the 2x a day I feel much better and actually feel it working...thats just my personal experience...however when I talked to my M.D. the switch wasn't harmful I guess its the chemical reaction to ur brain/body...good luck!
Avatar n tn Well, I quit smoking, I am in therapy for the depression, and I have made some lifestyle changes (healthier diet, regular exercise) to help with my fatigue. I wish to stop taking the Wellbutrin, but I am on the lowest dose. How do I stop taking it without suffering withdrawal symptoms?
Avatar m tn I've been off work for 3 months now and have just maxed out on Wellbutrin SR to help with major depression. It's not helping so now I need to try another AD. I took Prozac a few years ago and had good success for a few years, so I think my next step to try the Prozac again. I tried Effexor for about 8 months but it never really helped. I experienced extreme withdrawal from it while switching to wellbutrin.
Avatar n tn My husband was taking Wellbutrin sr 150 the doctor upped him to 200 sr and they gave him buprion 200 sr(on the bottle it says just Bupr). He had lots of energy on the Wellbutrin sr150 and was a pleasure to be arounds, but on this 200 buprionsr he goes to sleep and is like snappen at me all the time. After reading some of these questions I am worried that things are going to go back to the way they were before he started taking his meds.
Avatar f tn I am not taking it any more i had a really bad panic attack and called my doctor and she told me to stop taking it. i am not going to try any other medications, i will try to work threw it on my own. thanks for your helphttp://www.medhelp.

Avatar n tn Can Zoloft, Wellbutrin and Trazodone be taken all together? I am trying to wean off of wellbutrin and start trazodone for depression and stay on zoloft for anxiety. If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
656309 tn?1224489859 I went from brands name Wellbutrin SR 150 mg once a day, which made me energized and active, to brand name Wellbutrin XL 300 mg once a day. Now I am sleepy, lethargic and there is no buzz or energy at all. What's up??
Avatar n tn Does Wellbutrin become ineffective after long term use? Do people develop anger issues over time? One doctor told me that these effects are felt early, but would not present after years of use, and today a Psychiatrist told me that my recent emotional (angry) responses were caused by the Wellbutrin and that I needed to change to Lexapro. I'm confused. Can you tell me which is the better answer?
Avatar n tn Many times, if a person has not responded to a SSRI like Paxil....Wellbutrin will actually be added to the med regimen instead replacing the SSRI all together. Depending on what your dose of Paxil was, and how long you were on it....I would personally think it would still be better to do a brief taper while introducing the Wellbutrin. So, when you discussed the symptoms with your doc...he suggested you stay on the Paxil for another week along with the Wellbutrin? If so...
Avatar n tn About two weeks into my new Wellbutrin regimen (150 mg. SR added to my nightly dose of 33 mg. Remeron), I developed a pretty intense bout of heartburn. This heartburn has stayed with for most of the entire past week-and-a-half, and I've recently added a daily Prilosec to my cocktail, which clears up the problem almost entirely. I'm getting ready to bump my dose up to a second WB 150 SR daily, and am worried about this heartburn issue, as I seem to really be responding to this drug.
4951398 tn?1365456743 Started Generic Wellbutrin 150 SR almost 2 weeks ago. Only taking 1 per day prescribed by a GP. Dose will probably change after my first actual phsyciatrist appt. this week. Question is: I got my period for the normal 5 days and have been spotting for 5 MORE DAYS AND COUNTING! Is this one of the "start up" side effects or a permanent thing???
Avatar n tn I was taking 30 mg of Paxil, then she told me to cut it the next week to 20 mg (one week), and then to 10 mg (one week) and then start with the Wellbutrin SR.I started it last Friday, I was experiencing horrible nausea, Maalox was completely useless. I also had headaches (not anymore) intense anxiety for moments and muscle pain (on back and and abdomen) because I am very tense all the time. Yesterday was the worse of all. Horrible.
950277 tn?1247274551 Did I build up a tolerance for the Wellbutrin? I made a doctor appt for next week. Just want to hear what others know about this drug. Thanks for your time.
