Thank for sharing. We’re all in together. I too started the same a week ago. Concur about anxiety. Also feel joint pain, aggression and tinnitus. The benefits outweigh the side effects. Peace
First day on Bupropion, took it at 10am. Now 7:20 pm and I'm starting to feel a soft dizzyness but not too much. My Dr has prescribed me these to help me cope with low energy and motivation affected by Celexa.
Long story short, ever since last year I’ve had a strange feeling in my chest, shortness of breath and tingling hands. There have been 2 times in the last year where I thought I was having a heart attack and 1 of them was when I was driving. It scared the shit out of me. Went to the doctor and my EKG was good, but my blood tests say I have high cholesterol and low vitamin D. My doctor thinks this might be due to anxiety and depression (I don’t think I’m depressed) so I just got prescribed Wellbutrin and this comment section is making me nervous.
I'm sorry about your worsening anxiety, cbd helps me a lot, as do trips to naturey spots, and doing stuff with colorful things like coloring or making crafts from Pinterest. Little things help a lot sometimes
Thank you for sharing. I've watched many of your videos & didn't know you suffer from BPD. I suffer from DD, GAD, SAD, PA. I was on Cymbalta for over 10 years, memory, angry outbursts & libido issues. I'm on Buspirone (4 weeks) & Wellbutrin (1 week). I'm having super colorful vivid dreams, increased anxiety & suicidal id. I thought about stopping, but watching your video gives me hope since you explain things better than most Drs. do. I hope it'll go away after several weeks. I hope you're better now.
4th day. One of the worst panic attacks I’ve had in a long time. Alprazolam is starting to kick in so hopefully this goes away. I’ve had panic attacks for 10 years, so I can handle this (I’d rather not, but I can). This always happens when taking a new antidepressant so I guess we’ll see what happens
@@wtf9599 I've been told by several to just give it more time. Tonight was better. I think it has to do with what's going on in your life at the moment and how much you're gonna let things get to you.
I just got prescribed this. From the sound of it, it seems to make things worse. Why is this prescribed to help with depression, mood, anxiety, etc if it makes all of those worse? This is so confusing. I’m 30 and have never taken daily meds, and this is concerning. My telehealth psychiatrist barely talked to me, she just read back every question from the paperwork I did beforehand and has me re-answer everything. There’s a lot more to my situation and needs that I had no chance to mention, it felt like she was just trying to get it over with asap.
i never felt wellbutrin helped me bc it was always prescribed to me as a sort of "add-on" to another antidepressant (mainly lexapro) so it was tough to tell. i stopped the latter + now my psych is considering taking me off of it as well bc i started adderall xl not too long ago and he's worried about a possible increase in anxiety, which makes sense... i'm still a bit fearful about being off of antidepressants entirely bc i'm finally feeling better again, but i also dread the thought of starting a new one after just going through an awful lexapro withdrawal. regardless i hope wellbutrin only continues to work well for you!
I went from Lexapro to Bupropion and I feel dizzy a lot. I hate this feeling. It makes me just wanna go back to Lexapro but I hated how tired it made me. This dizziness gets unbearable sometimes though :(
Ive been having weight loss with it. My mood has been better. Only thing is it kinda interacts with my tourettes syndrome. But nothing im too worried about. Except losing too much weight...
@@bryand7790 its been what almost two months now i think Doing very good boss Am still taking 150mg or whatever a day I tried the two pills a day but that was a bit too much for me Anger short fuse bad bad But sticked to one pill per day and still doimg pretty good Do you know if i can take ashwaghanda at the same time?
Its my second day and i have insane anxiety my focus and concentration is all over the place and i feel lazy and kind have this urge to cry a lot of the times
How are you feeling now! I’m on my first week and you described my experience. The feeling of wanting to cry has subsided. But I’m tired, anxiety, unfocused, scatter brain, and I don’t feel like myself either.
@@bblovable hi, how are you, I taking now bupropion it is my 4th day but I think my emotion is blocked, I cant cry, I feel im crazy and didnt fall asleep last night
Whenever I get this way I like to just get a nice quick cry out, maybe a scream in the pillow and go into numb mode so my emotions don’t go crazy; shitty emotions are annoying and nobody deserves it. 🧡 I’m about to start Bupropion tomorrow
@@itsalayn_uhhey there I just started taking Bupropion a week ago. Was just wondering how you are feeling. And if you wanna know my experience over this last week I'd be more than happy to tell you, more good than bad 😊
I remember one night I was eating dinner with my family and I suddenly got pissed off at an offhand comment and stormed off. It was probably the most uncharacteristic thing I've ever done. Wellbutrin week 1 sure was wild haha.
I have been taking this for a few months now. I was constipated af, my stomach kept cramping, i felt short in breath and heart raced. I talked to my dr and kept taking. Those side effects went away. Now, i just feel irritated all the time.
I've been taking it for 3 weeks for ADHD, I get more angry while doing homework or other difficult tasks, I still can't focus and I'm way more anxious. I think this drug is hit or miss most of the time
I lost about 15 pounds since starting but that was in a 45 to 60 day period where I was actively exercising for weight loss and dieting so it's hard to say what was from Wellbutrin.
For me the brand name Wellbutrin is far more better and effective than all the different generics (Mylan, Act, Ran, etc) I experience less side effects with the brand
No way!You look too kind for having Bipolar disorder!Never would have guessed.I take Wellbutrin Xl with Keppra XR , and Gabapentin,and diazepam.I am pooped out ,sleeping a ton.I also have to take 200 mg of caffeine.Good luck to you cutie pie 🥧❤️😉.
Is it normal to have agitation for the first couple weeks?! Does this eventually subside?? Thanks for any feedback it’s appreciated.. I’m on 150xr daily along with lexapro.
I was always afraid to take this medication and I had it for a month now. Stiok afraid to as I have an enlarge heart and high blood pressure so experiencing rapid heartbeat is why I'm afraid how bad my heart will react.
Tbh today was my day 7 and I started feeling a little more like a anphetamine effect, not actually very anxious but kinda alert as when I was on ritalin. Pretty interesting but very agitated. Hope it fades away soon.
this is one of the drugs i simply cannot tolerate at all. even the lowest dose makes me so numb that i can't even think straight. i had to stop after 2 days
Thanks for sharing your experiences with Wellbutrin. I just started this yesterday; I'm on the SR variety, taking 100mg twice a day. Would someone feel different taking the SR vs. the XL, particularly in the first month or so of treatment?
The only thing I could think of (not supported by evidence) may be more energy in the evening with the SR version. It would most likely be different from person to person. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer. I really hope you get along well with it!
@@DrugTalk No worries, thanks for the response! I figured that was the case; I've been trying to find information about this particular topic but haven't had much luck. Thanks, you too! Hoping it'll help with my focus/ lack of motivation/ fatigue.
This medication sent me to the E.R. My Dr told me why I’m taking something of the internet. Also she told me I wasn’t depressed or anxious I was just having a burnout. I made bad choices buying this pills
I didn't notice a change in appetite. I did lose weight but I have been working out and dieting pretty hard so tough to say if the medication helped aha.
Did you have any experiences with insomnia? After about three days on it I haven’t been able to sleep fully through the night, I keep waking up around 4:00 in the morning with my mind racing
@@IAmLegend9291 I've taken it for 5 days and I have the same issues. Staying busy in the day if possible helps a little. Taking a warm bath helps me a little bit
I watched this, your 1 mon and 2mon videos on this. I started Wellbutrin XL 150mg 2 weeks ago tomorrow. The one great thing is mood wise i felt better pretty much immediately depression wise i finally feel happy again, i told my husband that i feel like i did when i was like 20 yrs old in college with a bright outlook. I had a relatively low depression though with no suicidal thoughts. I was prescribed this for IBS and anxiety. I have had alot of side effects i feel like, ive kind of felt stoned or something especially when driving. Loss of appetite Constipation Sore throat Sinus congestion Dry mouth My brain feels kinda heavy, theres a headache there but it also just feels like my whole brain is throbbing. Very weird sensation. Motion sickness which i never have in vehicles. And HUGE anxiety, i believe i had my first panic attack in the car as a passenger, got really hot heart racing and felt like i was going to faint. My question for you, was your anxiety that bad for your side effect? I know you said it really simmered down at the 1 month mark. I have no idea how i can tough it out for 2 more weeks of this if it sticks around. Everytime i get in a vehicle it skyrockets. Im just having a hard time deciding if i should kick it or stick it out. I love that it finally made me want to laugh again but my anxiety was already bad enough before and this is horrendous, i cant have panic attacks like that 😬
Just an update for anyone reading this. I ended up stopping these pills after about 2 months. My anxiety was sooooo bad. The simplest things would spike my anxiety and throw me into flight mode wanting to get the heck out if where ever I was. Had quite a few panic attacks and was constantly on edge about everything. I tried quiting caffeine and didnt have it for 1.5 months but nothing changed. Once I stopped this pill all the extreme anxiety went away thank God. That was awful man. Felt like I was going bat sh** crazy I swear. I've always had a decent amount of anxiety so idk if that contributed to it being heightened or not, someone else I talked to that I know said they same thing happened to them too but just wanted to give an update.
I’m a 50 year old male. Was put on 50mg Zoloft. Slept day and night. Doctor gave me Wellbutrin 150 XL in addition. It works great. Energy , focus, Sexual function is back. But I’m concerned about rapid heartbeat. Does that go away after time ???
I’ve been on it for about 2-3 months, 400mg a day. It isn’t really helping :-( I’ve also had no weight loss on it and no stimulation. :-/ I hope things are better for you now.
@@ES-qu1jd - I can’t really answer that. Lol After 3 weeks of the Bupropion my Dr put me back on Adderall. After, 3 weeks of that it was determined that the Bupropion was actually doing a better job sooooo I started again on it 6 days ago. My blood pressure is a little higher than normal (129/77) BUT still lower than the Adderall (134/83). I’m not worrying anymore about it.
@@samuelm.5752 Yeah, I'm not sleeping well. Light sleep and I wake up too soon. I was already having a problem with insomnia before starting the meds. The first few hours of each day after taking the meds I'm wired. My brain is just racing and I've already got that problem without the meds. But after a few hours I'm ok.
Arm twitching, some tingling and small shakes in arms and hands, especially after working out or been doing a lot with my arms . Anyone have anything similar . 100 sr 1 daily
I was on 150mg for about a month and they upped it to 300mg of bupropion xl (generic brand). Im on day 3 and i feel light headed, kind of disassociated and a bit more agitated than usual. When i wake up in the morning i feel fine, after i take it is when side effects kick in. Is this normal?.does it go away?
Still doing very well I would say. Im back down to 150mg for the summer months but will begin to increase against on September first. It definitely helped to be on 450mg during the winter time.
Yep I made one month and 2 month update videos. Eventually made it to 450mg but started to experience signs of mania so decreased back down to 300mg. Seems to be working well now. Especially with the physical symptoms of depression.
@@DrugTalk thanks for the update! I spent years on SSRI meds and they all made me tired... Wellbutrin has helped with more energy and motivation! Wish you the best on it!
This sounds like the worst medication ever created. Anxiety and depression meds. You take them and they make your problems extreme. Seems counterintuitive…
