I have been taking wellbutrin 300mg for depression for the last 6 months.I have had an extremely low energy level and lack of motivation.I can seem to concentrate for any length of time.Could this be a side effect of wellbutrin?Has anyone had any success with other antidepressants? How about a higher or lower dosage?

anti-depressants
Hi, I have taken just about every AD except Cymbalta. I had the best results from Wellbutrin... but let me say, I have found that all people are different and they have different symptoms and results from different meds. The Wellbutrin gave me alot of energy and I really felt like going out to do things. I was cleaning like crazy. The only things I noticed was that sometimes after taking it I did get a bit drowsy and when I wasn't at work, I napped for half an hour. I started on a VERY LOW dose and only took it once a day in the morning. After about a month, I felt great. Sometimes, I wasn't very hungry and you have to watch the constipation. Supercleanse will take care of that. You should talk to your doctor. If you think your symptoms are caused by the Wellbutrin, then try another. Sometimes Zoloft works for some people. Lexapro made me extremely hungry and sweaty. Never take Prozac. Also, Wellbutrin was the only AD that didn't affect my sex drive or orgasms. Big plus. Hope this helped...

YesI also have zero motivation or concertration
I have been taking it for around 8 months and wet up from150mg to 300mg about two months ago because the depression was more serious. I am extremely anxious, sit in a stupor, know things I need to do and can barely get anything done each and every day. NOW they want to give me, and I have tried it, Lorazepam for the anxiety....I am turning into a pharmacy...I allso take other things......this is a mess. I think the wellbutrin is possibly a big part of the spaciness and lethargy and anxiety...help!!
