Anyone Take Wellbutrin?

Do you take this medication? What side effects are you experiencing? Do you think this anti-depressant is better than others?

I take this medicine and think it's alright. I take it along with zoloft. My doc says it will help to relieve some of the side effects from the zoloft. I don't take these medications for depression...I take them for anxiety. I would say wellbutrin is the best anti-depressant but it's worth a try if your doc suggests it. I work in the behavioral health field and it seems that it takes a while for people to find what works best for them. Good luck!

On Wellbutrin

Hi there. I take wellbutrin xl (10 days now) and I experience some kind of anxiety from it. I don't like the feelings. I dont go back to the Dr. Until the 23rd. My pharmicist told me that it was anxiety and that most Dr.S also put you on some other form of anxiety pills. I wasn't though. What are your symptoms? Mine are a tingly sensation from the my head to my toes. It comes in waves and makes my heart race. It also makes me dizzy. It comes every other second and last only a second. I must sound weird huh. Well, goodluck. Jjw3

I wouldn't recommend taking this drug if you have anxiety. For the first little while it tends to make you have more anxiety and be irritable. It's usually prescribed for people who sleep all the time due to their depression.

I have taken wellbutrin for about a year now. No side effects at all but this drug does seem to make me a bit jumpy. I find that if I miss a dose, I get extremely irritable. I am thinking about asking my doctor to switch me to another anti depressant. Good luck!
