First MONTH of Therapy with Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL) | Increase to 300 mg | Review

I’ve been on Wellbutrin for about a month as well, for depression. I was in such denial about my need for medication because of the stigma surrounding it, but this medication saved my life. I had the exact same side effects, but I have began to feel like myself again and it is so refreshing! I hope that you will make an update video again! It is comforting to see others going through the same thing as me and I think this is so important for others to watch, even if it’s not in real time. Thank you for this!

So thankful for your post and the comments from so many of you wonderful people. Take my first dose in the morning and feel hopeful for the first time in a long, long time.

Be tough and keep your head up. You got this dude!

Thanks for this video. I'm so hopeful for myself to quit smoking; my doctor prescribed Biproprion to quit smoking. But I see that I would benefit in other areas as well!

Thanks this helps alot. week 3 and i feel terrible during the day and tired. Hopefully things will get better with time. Thanks for giving me hope.

Thanks for posting , I started 150 mg 35 days ago , little or no side affects , also little change in my depression , would like to see a 300mg update , again , thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for this information. It's very helpful. It's helped to put my mind at ease.

Wellbutrin has done wonders for me , I also felt on the second week the change, i’ve noticed not getting anxious if I had to go out or go to any family function I just start by y getting ready and went. Before I would make any excuse or make something up not to go anywhere. Ive been on this medication on and off for 10 yrs and it has helped me, now I see the changes and keep track of my behavior if I sit and write down what I remember and as I see this videos, I evaluate my own self at the moment.

I've been on generic bupropion for 2 and half years but recently switched to the brand name and things have improved significantly 😁

I will start Wellbutrin as soon as I'm completely weaned off of Effexor, which should be about 3 weeks. I can't wait. Effexor completely stopped helping with my depression after about 17 years. No matter what dosage I moved to, nothing changed. I'm so happy about starting Wellbutrin. I worry some about the anxiety, though.

Yes will love a 2 month update as I suffer the same. Ty

I just got my Bupropion HCL 150 MG filled today. Since this mediation has a black box warning. I have to meet with my Nurse Practitioner every month. I have my bottle in my hand now. I have yet to take it. I’ve heard really great things about the medication. I got it prescribed for my depression, but especially for my ADHD. I’m hoping it does great things for me. Considering I’m not hyper, but I have a difficult time focusing and concentrating on this. I procrastinate a lot. I start wayyy to many projects that I don’t finish. With my ADHD it’s like this: Imagine being in a gymnasium with hundreds of thousands post it notes on the walls. On every post it note, there are thoughts, tasks and projects listed on them. That’s what my mind is like 24/7. The projects, thoughts, ideas and advice are really great. It will definitely benefit my life and progress me further. But I just cannot even go through step one and sit down to focus. I get so distracted easily. It’s horrible. Hopefully this medication will really help me!

I have depression and anxiety and I'm on day four of Bupropion while also weaning off Citalopram. So far I haven't noticed any side effects like increased anxiety or insomnia, which I'm so thankful for.

Hi Garrett, let us know what the doctor says about your other medications. Especially loxapine.

Day two dry mouth and anxiety through the roof and intense mood swings plus minutes of euphoria followed by worry

I've been on Wellbutrin for about a week now (along with lamictal and Zoloft) and have definitely experienced a lot of the symptoms you had mentioned during your one week update. Hoping to see benefits in the same way that you seem to have experienced. The chronic fatigue, lack of confidence, and constant negative thoughts really can become sort of crippling. I think that the lamictal and zoloft have helped to relieve suicidal ideation, but I still fell depressed, apathetic, and just generally negative. Really hoping the addition of the Wellbutrin will help push my depression into remission. Good luck, hope that Wellbutrin continues to yield benefit for you.

I started this medication yesterday and I'm hoping that it will alleviate my SAD. I've taken it before and it was helpful.

This medication felt like it worked immediately but I’m probably on the 2nd week now and all the sudden I got extremely irritable and the other day I got extreme anxiety and didn’t want to be around my family which is unusual for me. The irritability got to me at work and I burst into tears. That is not normal for me. Most of the time though I feel like I can complete more tasks faster than normal and I can focus a lot better

Im bipolar 2. My psychiatrist prescribed me 75 immediate release. Im kind of scared that , because its immediate release, that it can cause seizures 🤔 Thanks for your Videos!

Yes, please do an update, thank you
