Avatar n tn I took Wellbutrin for 14 yrs, for SAD. Over that time I used the SR 150 twice daily and was then to switched to the 300 XL. That was fine. Then this this summer the ins. co. insisted I try the generic. At first I didn't notice any difference but now it seems I become extremely drowsy in the afternoon. My confusion is compounded by the fact that different manufacturers are being used. My pharmacist is very good and tries to make sure she orders from facilities in the U.S.
Avatar f tn 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. wants me to ween off Wellbutrin XL 300 to WellbutrinXL 150mg for 14 days and to add Cymbalta 30 mg for 14 days at the same time.Then to increase Cymbalta 60 mg daily and stop Wellbutrin. I've read a lot about Cymbalta and don't know if I should do this.
Avatar m tn If your sleep pattern is continuing to disrupt your life, you may still need Paxil and/or Wellbutrin to correct it, so by all means take them! Suri123's comments & sleep tips (above) are kind and well-meaning, but I've dealt with insomnia for years (before starting Paxil) and I just shake my head and roll my eyes when I hear the relaxation, diet and behavior tips that people give to insomniacs.
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...
Avatar f tn the more I read ,...the more I see that these meds are used to treat bipolar disorder....I am starting to suspect that I am not getting the right diagnosis or that the psychiatrists are not telling me everything. I would rather know what is going on. Is anyone who has major depressive disorder being treated with these meds also? Anyone out there with bipolar disorder and being treated with these meds?
Avatar n tn • Claiming that the time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of bupropion hydrochloride after ingesting Budeprion XL is identical to that in Wellbutrin XL, when studies have confirmed that the Tmax for Budeprion XL is less than one-half of that for Wellbutrin XL; • Claiming that Budeprion XL did not carry with it a risk of dose dumping when taken with food, though reports have indicated that food may increase chance for toxicity; • Claiming that human studies were done comparing Budeprion XL t
800430 tn?1237762624 s on or has been on Wellbutrin XL or SR, did it work for severe depression and make you happy again and actually look forward to things.. I'm starting to give up hope.. Also, does anyone have any feedback on consuming alchohol while on Wellbutrin?
Avatar f tn In these patients, a reduced frequency and/or dose is required. Wellbutrin XL should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment (including mild to moderate hepatic cirrhosis) and reduced frequency and/or dose should be considered in patients with mild to moderate hepatic cirrhosis.
Avatar n tn I still dont understand how wellbutrin is supposed to work for anxiety, because it is actually a stimulant.. I was on it for about 2 years when I was a kid for anger issues.
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 n tn I was very recently prescribed Wellbutrin XL, after trying several medications that have not helped [including Wellbutrin SR]. When I saw my doctor, she simply said 'I'm putting you on Wellbutrin twice daily' and I assumed it would be the SR. But what I was given was XL, with the instructions to take it twice a day [morning and around noon]. My doctor's office is closed today, or I would have asked her. I did ask the pharmacist, and he said that yes, this is okay.
Avatar n tn I still have some hypomania and went manic a few weeks ago due to the wrong formula of Wellbutrin XL they started me on, but other than that it works great. It is also doing wonderfully along with my Wellbutrin SR. I am feeling more stable each day! I have been on Lithium for over a year and Wellbutrin for a month.
1190024 tn?1264688422 t seem to have any particular side effects from the combination. I also take Zonegran, an anti-seizure drug that is used to treat neuropathic pain. My doctor gave me Xanax to take as needed, knowing the mixture that I already had. There doesn't seem to be a problem with that, either.
7001009 tn?1386963933 t have to do that - I have confidence in this med and would love some insight, personal experiences and hope. Maybe it is time to switch meds but I would hate to go back to an SSRI. Thank you in advance!
Avatar f tn My Dr just prescribed wellbutrin. Just wondered what peoples experience with this was.
Avatar f tn VE SUFFERED FROM PANIC DISORDERS FOR A LONG AS I REMEMBER. SO I WENT TO MY PHYCHITRIST AND SHE SUBSCRIBE WELLBUTRIN XL FOR A BOOSTER. PERHAPS TO HELP MY EMOTIONAL EATING AND DEPRESSION. I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW FIRST 150 MGS FOR 7 DAYS THEN 300MGS THAT I'M AT NOW.
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.
2035835 tn?1336300786 Will I gain weight or loss weight by takeing 300mg of Wellbutrin XL a day? I started loseing weight on the wellbutrin SR but he switched me to the XL because he said the SR doesn't go any higher then 200mg... What should I do???
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.
Avatar f tn I would say yes, because wellbutrin is an antidepressant and klonopin is a benzo and they don't have any neg effect together usually and are often perscribed together, to be sure I would call an all night pharmacist or your local pharmacist, they can give you more professional advice, I do it all the time. JUst ask them if you can tak ethe two together and they can tell you if you need to look for or worry with side effects, but I would think it is fine.
Avatar f tn Could be a combination of the two. Wellbutrin is a pure antidepressant and can be stimulating, so isn't usually used if anxiety is a major problem (though it might be if the anxiety flows from depression). It is often used along with an ssri to deal with sexual problems caused by ssris. So you're describing classic Paxil withdrawal symptoms, but you could also be suffering side effects from a more stimulating med.
Avatar f tn Wellbutrin is not approved to treat anxiety and some doctors feel that it can worsen anxiety symptoms, at least temporarily. I would definitely discuss your experiences with the medication with your GP.
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 I have been on Wellbutrin XL 300mg for awhile now after trying lots of different medications. I still feel very blah, no energy, tired all the time...what do you suggest???
