First Week of Therapy with Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL) | Review

Just finished my first week.. My anxiety and anger is way less.

First day on Bupropion, took it at 10am. Now 7:20 pm and I'm starting to feel a soft dizzyness but not too much. My Dr has prescribed me these to help me cope with low energy and motivation affected by Celexa.

Thank for sharing. We’re all in together. I too started the same a week ago. Concur about anxiety. Also feel joint pain, aggression and tinnitus. The benefits outweigh the side effects. Peace

Thanks for being so open, very helpful

Thank you for sharing. I've watched many of your videos & didn't know you suffer from BPD. I suffer from DD, GAD, SAD, PA. I was on Cymbalta for over 10 years, memory, angry outbursts & libido issues. I'm on Buspirone (4 weeks) & Wellbutrin (1 week). I'm having super colorful vivid dreams, increased anxiety & suicidal id. I thought about stopping, but watching your video gives me hope since you explain things better than most Drs. do. I hope it'll go away after several weeks. I hope you're better now.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Wishing you the very best.

4th day. One of the worst panic attacks I’ve had in a long time. Alprazolam is starting to kick in so hopefully this goes away. I’ve had panic attacks for 10 years, so I can handle this (I’d rather not, but I can). This always happens when taking a new antidepressant so I guess we’ll see what happens

I'm sorry about your worsening anxiety, cbd helps me a lot, as do trips to naturey spots, and doing stuff with colorful things like coloring or making crafts from Pinterest. Little things help a lot sometimes

Long story short, ever since last year I’ve had a strange feeling in my chest, shortness of breath and tingling hands. There have been 2 times in the last year where I thought I was having a heart attack and 1 of them was when I was driving. It scared the shit out of me. Went to the doctor and my EKG was good, but my blood tests say I have high cholesterol and low vitamin D. My doctor thinks this might be due to anxiety and depression (I don’t think I’m depressed) so I just got prescribed Wellbutrin and this comment section is making me nervous.

Just started yesterday today's my second day on it and I'm starting to feel normal once again

Anxiety is awful. I know how that feels. Push through it. It’ll be worth it my friend. Thanks for being open about your mental health.

i never felt wellbutrin helped me bc it was always prescribed to me as a sort of "add-on" to another antidepressant (mainly lexapro) so it was tough to tell. i stopped the latter + now my psych is considering taking me off of it as well bc i started adderall xl not too long ago and he's worried about a possible increase in anxiety, which makes sense... i'm still a bit fearful about being off of antidepressants entirely bc i'm finally feeling better again, but i also dread the thought of starting a new one after just going through an awful lexapro withdrawal. regardless i hope wellbutrin only continues to work well for you!

Good video. I’m about a week behind you on Bupropion. I subbed you so I don’t miss your next update.

My second day on Welbutrin 150 mg XL and I don't have any side effect.

Thank you for this info!!

Ive been having weight loss with it. My mood has been better. Only thing is it kinda interacts with my tourettes syndrome. But nothing im too worried about. Except losing too much weight...

That drug is lovely! Like coke without " coming down after" .In me produce " controlled euphoria "

I went from Lexapro to Bupropion and I feel dizzy a lot. I hate this feeling. It makes me just wanna go back to Lexapro but I hated how tired it made me. This dizziness gets unbearable sometimes though :(

I just started Buproprion five days ago,this helped me out so much, thank you!

I have been taking this for a few months now. I was constipated af, my stomach kept cramping, i felt short in breath and heart raced. I talked to my dr and kept taking. Those side effects went away. Now, i just feel irritated all the time.
