    I'm coming to accept that I am suffering from severe depression and anxiety. Tired of trying to be strong and suppress it. I'm exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally. Alcohol has become my escape and with that only comes problems and more depression. Seeing this video gives me hope. I'm going to talk with my dr about getting on this drug or something similar to it
  • @dravakian
    I'm glad to hear that Wellbutrin is working so well for you Garrett, thanks for another great video (: stay healthy and safe my friend ✌️
  • Thank you for these videos with personal experience. 54yo and on a med like this for the first time. It has been so very helpful
  • You know what’s interesting? Your thumbnail smile changed from your first week to here. You looked like you forced your smile in the first week, then had a nice smile, and in this video a happier smile. I hope you’re doing well.
  • @aimee7150
    I’m also taking 450mg of Welbrutin and the way you are describing your experience is so on point!
  • I been depressed and lots of anxiety the doc gave me this to try
  • @gpasgrl1017
    I just started bupropion to help with the seasonal affective disorder, clinical depression and binge eating disorder.
  • @RonMedic86
    Very happy to hear Wellbutrin has been good for you. Lexapro has been good for me. But, my anxiety has been skyrocketing. Thinking of switching to something else...
  • @dexedr1ne
    Thank you for this video, one month into Wellbutrin and about to go to 300mg.

    Great video and explanation. I’ve been looking for the right medication for over a decade for my severe anxiety (diagnosed GAD + SAD). SSRIs and buspar never helped, Klonopin helped a ton but was hell to taper off of, and for the last year I’ve been on low dose Gabapentin + propranolol as needed. This last combo helps but it still wasn’t enough, so my doctor asked if I’d like to try Wellbutrin, as I mentioned how much I struggled with the side effects of SSRIs. I’m only 3 days in, currently taking 75mg of the instant release twice daily. I find a get a little anxiety between the 1-3 hour mark after dosing but so far so good on the side effects. Will update this in the future with my results. For other out there experiencing heavy side effects, I’ve found dozens of user reports stating that had a much better experience with the instant release, versus the SR or XL variants. Of course it will vary from person to person, but could be worth investigating before giving up on this very unique med!

    I will be starting Wellbutrin as soon as my doctor gives the go-ahead. I have to go through the whole process first of coming off of Effexor, which I've been on for many years. Effexor seems to have done all it plans to do for me. I hope I do as well as you have.Thanks for sharing the experience.
  • I am taking 300 mg Wellbutrin xl and it the only antidepressant that works on me and I am going to stay on it makes me really upbeat. Thanks for the video.
  • @mrswills03
    I appreciate this video 🙏 I struggle with the same thing every year and I finally decided to try medication. I started Wellbutrin 150mg a week ago and wanted to research how it's worked for others.

    Ive been talking it for about 3 months now, no sides effects, i knew i was depressed but until i started i didnt realize how bad depressed i was. I use it for weight loss at150 mg i lost 5 lbs in two weeks, then i stalled, asked my dr if he would up it , he did to 300 mg lost 5 lbs again, but now in a stall, i go see him again for a update in 2 weeks, lets see
  • I love Wellburtin. Feels much smoother and more natural than SSRI to me, mood/feelings on SSRI felt kinda fake. With Sertralin i had a shitload of sideffects, not a single one with Bupropion. I just take 150mg.
  • @bemad7886
    I've been holding in my depression for so long to the point where it was hurting everyone around me. Just started wellbutrin recently, I hope it works for me.
