side effects of Wellbutrin for ADD Posted: 01-04-08 16:30pm
At the tender age of 42 I have been
prescribed Wellbutrin as treatment for
ADD. While I have noticed that I am able
to complete tasks more easily, I feel in a
constant haze - I imagine this is what it
is like to be depressed. I have lost a
good deal of energy to the point where I
NEED to nap in the afternoons. Has anyone
else had a similar experience and did it
resolve or continue?

I am taking Wellbutrin. I am taking
Lexapro. I am taking effexor. I am taking
xanax.
I am a space cadet, too. My sleep cycles
are normal at work. The first time I
started Wellbutrin I was up for 40hrs
straight. I had to talk to every person I
saw, and create a new joke, just for them.
I also take medications for my heart,
blood pressure type II diabeties,
authoritis, thyroid. Some of my day
sleeping was from my thyroid. That can
give you all the symptoms of depression.
You should get a better blood screening. I
have been having asthma attacks. I cant
use the enhailers with my condition.
Marlboro smooth, menthals seem to help me
breath better. If I didn't have to work, I
would love my meds. Doing my job, now,
makes it a night mare.

ive started on welbutrin for PPD i just
hope it doesnt bog me down like so many
people say it does. great. now i REALLY
dont want to take it.
the next step from here is lexapro for my
anxiety and panic attacks.
but you can always talk to your dr if this
medication isnt working for you. remmeber
your doctor WORKS FOR YOU. if you want
something different tell him that. he has
to listen to you.
