How Wellbutrin Changed My Life | My Experience 

how you doing 3 months after?

@@bocoouri8190 life completely turned around. gets even better every day.

I need to get on the meds, I only see doom and gloom due to depression and anxiety

@@bocoouri8190 actually have a life and it gets better and better every single day. Couldn't even have imagined all this beforehand.

@@BloodBoughtMinistries you'll be angry about all the time you wasted while you weren't healthy and normal. that's the only downside.

do you still use it?

Is it helped u in ur choronic fatigue ? I have also chronic fatigue Due to PTSD induced depression and Enxiety ! At present I have only fatigue ! Not severe depression and Enxiety ! Should I take this medicine ?

@@ashuvijay7031 it definitely helped me! Please talk to your doctor.

Curious, is that the only med you took for the anxiety or was there additional?

@@HandsomeKingKhi I’m on several other meds for bipolar, anxiety and ptsd. Clonazepam is helping with anxiety

I’m so glad that you’re having a great experience on it!

Most of us dont look or sound depressed. We are though. Lol

So happy to hear your feeling better! ❤

✌️✨️

How long did it take you until you started to notice it working?

R u still taking it

@@austincelaya1139 pretty much right away. I experienced some intense moods, slight headaches and dehydration for the first 4 weeks. At about 4 weeks I still had some brain fog, although my overall mood was dramatically improved. I began seeking out activities I used to enjoy and social situations that I hadn’t been able to for years. I’m about 8 weeks in now, no more brain fog, headaches, or dehydration at this point with daily use

@@ashuvijay7031 yes, 8 weeks in.

I’ve deleted social media off my phone but I still have mental health issues lol

Hunny, How are you feeling as of late, feeling better?

@@cedrickroy3667 its been about 3 weeks now since I started, the first week was tough since I experienced insomnia and my anxiety felt tenser. But the second week got a little easier and now going into week 3 my sleep pattern is back normal! The anxiety isnt as bad, since I have also dropped in weight a bit, so the confidence is coming back. Says it takes about 6 weeks to see the full effects so I can drop back and provide another update :) Hope you are well also

Hi. Update? I'm on Lexapro now and not liking the side effects.

@@erdinczor1i think you should try it

​@@erdinczor1 I took lexapro for 3 years and didn't help my depression, only extreme anxiety. It also increased my appetite..

I listened to a ton of podcasts about the medication, and some of the side effects are quite daunting. But at the end of the day, I decided it was worth a shot, but its a very personal decision :)

I'm at the 1 mo mark with my XL. My anxiety and nausea never went away. Just saw my doctor, we're going to try a lower dose fast release. I read some reddit experiences that the SR (12 hours version) made a huge difference for some people too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZH82-Rzus_Y.htmlsi=9JZVULsqYSl9cw0V

Deep breaths extended exhale 5 times...exhale all your breathe.. thank me later

Am 17 days on wellbutrin .Appetite anxiety and sleep has improved slightly. Fibromyalgia is half. Am told it will take 6 weeks.

@@arunanand2809 I'm past 3 weeks. Anxiety seems to be easing a little. I still haven't felt anything major with my mood.

Hang in there! Literature states 4-6wks for full effects to appear. When I started 75mg I had increase anxiety and fatigue in the afternoon but it went away the 4th day. And it was smooth sailing from there. It was worth the wait. Now my Doc upped my dose to 150mg SR. Its been 6 days and still have the same intial side effects. I will wait it out. We upped my dose cause 75mg was doing nothing for my ADHD.

I was a bit more anxious, but I think that was partly due to me having high expectations for this to work. So I was over analyzing a lot of day to day things. But that did stop after a bit, once I learned to just trust the process!

Good to know. So helpful! Thanks again! ❤

I totally relate to the dissociation, it is a horrible feeling and so hard to explain unless you've experienced it. I also didn't have much luck when it came to SSRI's

I do have anxiety, mostly social and ruminating and I did find it helped a bit. Definitely not one of the big changes I noticed but it did help me feel more level and not reach such a high anxiety state :)

It helps with depression, it doesn’t help with anxiety. Ssri help with anxiety but they also make you feel numb. I felt like a different person. The good part with Wellbutrin is that it is still you with your worries and crap. But you actually get up and do something about it. It gives you lots of energy. You become more aggressive but it still feels good. I mean i will just speak my frustration out in a very articulate way, and people will actually agree and say sorry you are right. Maybe in their mind they think “ fuck you “ o don’t know. Be careful not to miss a dose. Because next day when you start taling it again it is too late and you are going to have a full day where you don’t want to do anything, want to throw everything and everyone away.

Sorry you’re having that experience! I cannot say if it does get better since I never had that, maybe you could talk to your doctor about starting a lower dose if it’s an option?

How much did you take

I have heard about the stimulation! I think some doctors actually prescribe it for adhd I used it with ssri’s

@@MaddieJay Bupropion acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor and a nicotinic receptor antagonist.[12] However, its effects on dopamine are weak. smoking still hits me and without this im really tired. norepinephrine is a wakefulness agent, at 300mg+ it causes pupil dilation, it's an addictive drug, your metabolism will shut down a little bit and more blood goes to your muscles. 300+ mg gives you a seizure once every other year so I only take 150mg, im 80+-kg bodyweight, use this as an addition to esci as well. works great for tiredness, kicks in only after 5 hours, so take it in the morning and never after 12pm, if you have ADHD, stimulants may work the other way. Coffee increases alertness and effectiveness as well when both combined, the dopaminergic effect (motivational boost) is only apparent the first two weeks.

@@OriginalZybeZ thank you so much for that info! I appreciate you sharing :)

no problem.@@MaddieJay

I'm really glad to hear you had a positive experience! I also agree, the SSRI's unfortunately didn't have any positive impact on me

Thank you for sharing your experience, I think it’s beneficial to hear the positive and negative side effects so people have the option to make their own decision. I hope Prozac is working for you :)

No I had no issues with sleeping, but I am the type of person who can sleep all the time, I have the opposite problem of maintaining energy throughout the day :)

Life’s been good! I am not taking it anymore I’m trying to adjust my lifestyle and make changes there I have posted an update video a couple weeks ago!

Still at my same dose! I haven’t yet felt like I need to increase

​@@MaddieJayhow many years ?

How so? Curious because I would like to try it.

@@Mrsnjb side effects are horrible for me, some get little to none. Side effects of meds always tend to hit me hard, no way of knowing how it will affect yourself till you try it. Not so good for me but plenty swear by it. I did stop taking it but have started again on a lower dose, doing better but still not nice. Meds can be very hit and miss, as we all know.

@@Mrsnjb oh and I now have heart problems, it either caused it or exacerbate it, I don't know.

I have always been able to fall asleep and for the most part stay asleep and these meds haven’t effected that :)

What is wrong with people

Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s so helpful for people to see others side effects from it too

Im sorry that you didn’t have a good experience on it! Have you found anything to help?

@@MaddieJay it caused me MCAS and autonomic neuropathy

The worst for me was Citalooram and Paroxetine, and fom Miratazapine i did put 20kg in 6 months
