I take Wellbutrin - actually I take the generic version called bupropion. There are several strengths and types. I take the ER (extended release which is the same as the timed release) form. It is taken for depression. Although I am not depressed when my doctor put me on clonazepam (generic...

I read lots of reviews on other sites too about Wellbutrin and after my depression came back I decided to ask my doctor if I can try it.(Before I was on Zoloft and than Lexapro, but either they stopped to work or I put on so much weight and lost my sex drive, I stopped taking it.) I jump started Wellbutrin and...

Wellbutrin

This medication works for a variety of different things! I use this medication for my depression, my ADHD, and it helped me to quit smoking! I love Wellbutrin because it has helped me cope with the depression from my Bipolar Disorder. Attention Deficit Disorder effects many adults in today's society as well as children. I found that I could not take other stimulants because they would cause me to feel agitated and would loose to much weight taking them! Wellbutrin helps to calm me and I am able to concentrate better while taking this drug. I was also able to quit smoking due to the Wellbutrin...

I have taken Wellbutrin, in all its forms, off and on (mostly on) for over ten years. Every time I quit taking it, I feel horrible. However, the good effects of it only seem to last for a week or two. For the first few weeks I feel so energetic and like I can do anything I set my mind to. My depression gets so much better, and I even quit smoking. After about 2 weeks, the depression is back, and grows from there on. Every time the doctors "up" the dosage I have that same 1 to 2 week "high". As of now I have been taking it pretty much non stop for about 4 years (the generic bupropion xl)....

I was pretty depressed, never wanted to leave my house, and when I discussed it with my doctor, he said we had to be careful, since I am a diabetic. We tried Wellbutrin, and it works like a charm. The first few days, I was really dizzy, and did not like it at all, but my husband told me to give it a week, and I am glad I did! I almost feel like myself again! I go out, have fun, and I am so glad I got my life back.

 I have been using Wellbutrin for five years and it has changed my life. Sometimes you hear the term wonder drug, well this might be as close as anything comes to that handle. I no longer suffer from the high anxiety that was ruining my life. For anyone who suffers from anxiety please ask your Doctor about Wellbutrin, it could change your life too.

This product works well in any occasion.But in long term it can add to your weight,cause dry mouth terribly,and alot of other side effects.However if you want to quit smoking it is an excellent choice and should be discussed with your doctor.Range in price is reasonable,comes in various range doses.

    WellbutrinXR is an antidepressant that may also be useful in helping kick addictions of all sorts, including cigarettes, alcohol, and opiates (pain meds).

      In my own experience, I was in a boat wreck in 1996 and left with a crippled left leg and chronic pain. Now, let me tell you something my doctors never told me. If you suffer chronic pain and must take opiates for relief, you will become tolerant to the med doses, and physically addicted. This is NOT anything similar to a street addict at all. This is a normal side effect of a necessary, life saving med (anyone doubt that, try...

I really don't like taking Medication.... really. I do eventually give into the doctors and take what they give me. I took wellbutrin for a couple weeks and it was nice. I had all the energy i had wanted and it was like i had my life back until i couldn't stop. It actually increases anxiety. In my case worrying. My shrink found out that my doctor prescribed it and stopped it immediately. Sucked because i liked it. I heard it's becoming a recreational drug so be careful out there. Good to take if you want to stop smoking or drinking.

I was put on this medication for major depression. Although I have had to add other drugs to treat my depression, I started feeling better about 3 weeks after starting wellbutrin. In addition to helping me feel better, I have also cut way down on smoking, from about 1 1/2 packs a day to about 1/3 of a pack a day. If that is a side effect, it is one I will gladly have.

I have been on Wellbutrin for about a year now.  I have quit smoking, which I didn't even plan on doing, and the medication has curbed my depression and anxiety symptoms dramatically. I would recommend this medication for anyone who has tried depression medications and have found them to be too strong! I have had no adverse side effects!

I have been taking Wellbutrin XL for several years now. I have been battling depression for a few years now and I can tell if I have not been taking my medicine. I do also use two other medicines to help along with the wellbutrin XL that I take every morning.

Wellbutrin did not work for me as well as othe anti depressants such as Lexapro and Celexa. It was also very costly. I was unable to quit smoking with this product when I used it to quit smoking.

I was put on the generic wellebutrin Buspropine in August of this year because I suffer from chronic back pain. At 29 years old it is very frustrating to be in pain all the time and it tends to get me down. I would not consider myself depressed, but I do have my down days. It is not November I have been talking this medicine for 3 months and have been smoke free of a month.

 I have been a daily smoker for about 16 years. I smoked a pack a day sometimes more when I was stressed. I have tried several times to quit smoking an nothing ever seemed to work or if it did work it was only for a limited...

i was given wellbutrin (buproprion is the generic name) as an anti anxiety/depression medication.  i usually take it once in the morning.  i really dont notice a miraculous change but there are limited side effects.  the only thing thats hard sometimes is not being able to have a sip of wine once in a while, which is definately not recommended with these types of medication.  i suppose i am a little better than before, but i still dont have the energy that i would like.  i did notice a slight tremor in my hands at the very start, but it seems to subside most of the time.  i also dont drink...
