wellbutrin

Avatar n tn Many patients also reported a loss of antidepressive effect. Patients who thereafter switched back to Wellbutrin XL or an alternative generic (such as Bupropion XL manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals) saw a return of the antidepressive effect and lessening of side effects.
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 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.
656309 tn?1224489859 Whata does your doctor say? Could it be that your dose has doubled, and that's the culprit? I take Wellbutrin XL (generic version). I just started taking it. I take 150 mg in the morning. I think the XL means it's timed released. I would check with your doctor. Good luck. Please keep me posted.
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 f tn To get about the same result you had with Nefazodone with no weight gain I would recommend sertraline (Zoloft) combined with Wellbutrin XL. To get a significant antagonizing effect to your 5-HT2 receptors you would need mirtazapine but it is related with weight gain so I would try the Zoloft with Wellbutrin XL which will basically in a SNDRI like Nefazodone and see how it goes.
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 Wellbutrin XL is a time released medication lasting 12 to 24 hours depending on which one you are on. You do not want to chew this medication as it could cause other problems. Tell your brother that this medication could make him very sick. It is not perscribe for him. It is not a recreational drug. If your afraid your brother may take them, hide them where he can't find them.

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 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've been on generic wellbutrin for a quite a while now and was wondering if it caused mental fog and fatigue. I feel like i stare off fixated on something for over a minute then snap out of it then I realize my brain just seems to go on autopilot for a while. Also, no emotions at all. Also on clonazapem as well, but this only happened when i started wellbrutin a while back. any one else experience similiar?
656309 tn?1224489859 just started having my medication delivered and when I got my Wellbutrin XL, the package and the bottle were VERY hot. I got it around 2pm today and am not sure how long it has been sitting in the heat on that truck. Maybe since this morning? It's 92 degrees here now.. Do you think the medication has been compromised? I am just switching from Generic Wellbutrin SR 150 mgs, and this bottle is WB XL brand name 300 mgs.
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 m tn I'm just asking this question as an addition to the previous question as i'm quite curious as to others past experiences as i'm up to max dose with the generic form, along with mirtazapine 45mg, but I still quite flat in mood, with little spontaniety and miss my normal self 'Zip' as otherwise I feel that it largely is working to a certain extent, but i'm still wanting more.
Avatar n tn Buproprion is just the chemical name for the brand name Wellbutrin. Buproprion SR means Substained Released. Indeed the generic could be not working, I've seen this happen in some people. Better check this out with his doctor.
Avatar f tn t take long for my doc to confirm my ADD-PI and he prescribed Aderral 10 mg to take once a day along with Wellbutrin XL 150. He said I might need a higher dose or switch to the XR later. Has anyone tried both at the same time? I got the generic version of Aderral and surprised how cheap it was. Should this be taken every day or only when I have lots to do and need to concentrate? Thanks!!
Avatar f tn I started off on 150 mg generic Wellbutrin XL which was not doing much...so I was upped to 300 mg. The sweating is unbelievable! I wake up in the morning drenched. My doc and pharmacist both say it is a side effect of the Wellbutrin and that it should go away. It's been 3 weeks now and I am still sweating a lot! I take mine at night because I don't want it to affect my sleep. Although I see a lot of people take it morning...so I don't if I should be taking it at night .
431644 tn?1236899573 I am taking wellbutrin XL sorry......it is 150 mg at bedtime. I now have taken it 3 nights. Just been years since had to use it haven't been in a deep depression like this for a long timme.
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 f tn Doctor has tried me on 2 other meds and now I am trying Wellbutrin 150XL. Generic Bupropion.. Only taken it for two days now so I don't know how it is going to work yet. Did I understand that you are taking 150 mg three times a day? Is yours XL? Just curious. How long have you been taking the Wellbutrin? Wish you well. Hope your meds work for you.
Avatar f tn I have been on Wellbutrin 150mg since October and still had some depression but when I went on a higher dosage became more irritable and anxiety increased, i didn't like the way it made me feel. I also want to tell you I am drug sensitive. P doc put me back on 150mg XL and I still have anxiety issues (and depression). Buspar seemed to give me opposite effect,made me manic, she put me on antihistamines just made me excitable or sleepy. She put me on Neurotin 300 mg.
Avatar n tn I currently am on Remeron and that along with a beta blocker that I am on cause me serious ejaculation problems. After he added the Wellbutrin XL 150 mg, 10 days later my sex life with my wife was like old times and I could ejaculate again. I am hoping that this will solve that problem. I was also wondering if you are taking the generic form of the drug because you were wondering about changing the color.
Avatar n tn My teenage daughter was taking generic Wellbutrin (manufactured by Watson pharmaceuticals) 150 mg. daily for about 3 weeks or so and started having serious hair loss on the top of her head. The prescribing psychiatrist told her to stop the medication and after about 2 weeks, the hair loss has stopped almost completely.
