Avatar f tn My dr, said she looked it up in her book, and Wellbutrin XL 150mg, is only prescribed for SAD and to quit smoking. She did not want to prescribe the XL at all no mater what I said. She prescribed me Regular Wellbutrin 100mg twice per day. I do not want the regular wellbutrin as it will make me shakey, and I will not follow through with taking 2 pills per day...
1778927 tn?1381878747 I've been taking wellbutrin for depression, at least I assumed it was for depression. My Psych NP may have been trying to kill two birds with one stone. I'm still taking it. I've had a couple of anxiety attacks that make me feel like I'm having a heart attack, but nothing regular like you're talking about. It doesn't sound like Wellbutrin is for you. I'd definitely tell your doc about these events!
Avatar n tn Can you please tell me if Wellbutrin XL will help with anxiety issues. Or can the medication Cymbalta be of better use?
Avatar n tn If you have trouble sleeping, remember to take WELLBUTRIN XL in the morning. Do not change your dose or stop taking WELLBUTRIN XL without talking to your doctor.
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 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 Hi. I've been on Wellbutrin XL 300mg for 16 years. For the last several years I tend to obsess greatly over any health issues like migraines,body pains that can't be explained. To the point that I feel and believe that I have something terminal. I've seen dr.'s and had tests that all say I'm fine. Whenever I try a new drug for symptoms,I always have bad side affects which make me nervous starting anything different. My question is,my Dr.
7001009 tn?1386963933 I know there are a ton of reviews, stories and recommendations regarding generic Wellbutrin (bupropion) usage and duration but my case seems unique and cannot find anything remotely similar to it. I'll keep as short and sweet as possible: - I started on 150mg of Bupropion (Sandoz manufacturer) and had an INTENSE honeymoon starting on the third day. It lasted ~2 days and the effects felt almost identical to that of MDMA.
Avatar f tn I take Wellbutrin strictly for OCD anxiety. I do not have a history of depression.
Avatar f tn Hello, i was taking Wellbutrin Xl 300mg for 2 yrs. the last 6 months i was taking a generic brand. However, i became very depressed i the last 2 months. i was hospilized 3 weeks ago. They took me off of Wellbutrin and now i take Celexa and Remeron. However, i dont like their side effects. So today i switched back to Wellbutrin. Can i do this? i took it around 9:20am this morning, then 20 min later i began to feel lightheaded and my heart was racing. Is this normal?
Avatar m tn I also take wellbutrin and clonezepam to help with depression and anxiety. The wellbutrin usually gives me a lot of energy but, if I take the clonezepam it does help with my anxiety but it also makes me pretty tired. I took it last night and still feel a little tired today. I know that all of us are different but, if I had to take a guess then I would venture to say that it's the clonezepam that's making you tired. I hope that you see some improvement soon though.
Avatar f tn My doctor started me on Wellbutrin XL 150mg and I felt great the first couple of days, however I now get very depressed in the afternoons, dwelling on the past - how I could have done things better and how messed up my life is now, the doc wants to increase the dose to 300mg but these pills are expensive!! I can't afford to pay $120/month just for these....isn't there anything cheaper that would help?
Avatar f tn Most likely you went into withdrawal because of the sudden drop in your dosage of wellbutrin. You have to taper off these meds as slowly as you need to, as individuals differ, and wellbutrin isn't as hard to stop as other ADs, but sudden changes such as the one you did usually bring on some kind of problem for the brain in adapting. The other thing is, why were you on wellbutrin?
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 n tn ) All in all, if you want to try this for quitting smoking I say go for it! If you want to try Wellbutrin XL for anxiety and depression, I say go another way. Ask for other options. What I have been feeling like for the past week is definitely not worth it. (I am out of work so I have been lucky not having to worry about these "side effects" affecting my work performance. Katie IF THIS POST SEEMS TO BOUNCE ALL OVER THE PLACE OR DOESN'T READ TO WELL, I APOLOGIZE.
652671 tn?1353712165 I called and cried to my OB/GYN and he prescribed Wellbutrin 200 mg/ day and Buspar 30 mg/day. It is EXTREMELY hard for me to function (work, take care of my other children, wifely duties) especially with the physical symptoms of my anxiety and depression. I am scared that the wellbutrin will harm my child but my pregnancy has made my depression and anxiety worse and if I don't take care of myself, i might not have a relationship or a stable family left at the end of my pregnancy ...
Avatar n tn This commonly would be considered a good thing but its to drastic of a change all at once. I take 40mg prozac,300 wellbutrin xl,xanax and adderol and it never effected my nicotine intake. I find that smoking causes me to shake my leg alot which is really unattractive in my eyes because in a social setting i seem almost anxious when im not my nerves just feel shot. I have an electric cig i think im going to throw my cigs away and try to use the e cig when i have a craving.
Avatar f tn what is the safest way to wean off wellbutrin 300 xl?
Avatar f tn s generally only used for depression or depression caused anxiety, not for anxiety primarily. Also ask your doc why the buspirone -- probably to counteract the stimulation of the wellbutrin, but it hasn't shown to be effective on its own against anxiety (or anything else). Gotta check up on your docs, they only know what pharmaceutical companies tell them for the most part. Hope it works for you.
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!
