I love it, I have been on it for over a
year. It can give you insomnia so make
sure you take as early as you can.
It also does not make you agin
weight,which is a plus!!

I am taking it and I really like it. I
dont have any side effects. I have a lot
more energy with it. I think it is
really starting to help me. I would
definately recomend it. Dont feel bad
for being scared of trying something new.
I get scared of trying new things too.
I have one med called pamelor that my doc
wants me to take along with my welbutrin
but I am too scared to try it. Welbutrin
is good stuff though.

One thing about any anti depresseant, is
that they do not work right away. It
takes up to 6 weeks to get into your
system.

i've been on wellutrin for 4 months. I am
now starting to get some bad side affects.
I have had my period for 1 month now, and
now I have to slowly get off of it. I
never knew about this side affect. Be
careful.

i will let you know in 2 weeks after I
wean myself off of it. Dr's

hair loss, blurred vision. If you do your
research, you will find that many woman
experiance the same side effects.

I did stop taking wellbutrin. As I
tapered down my period also tapered down.
At the end of the second week, my period
had stopped. My hair has also stopped
falling out. As far as the blurried
vision, that i'm not sure is going to go
away...I just had my 41st birthday.

Welbutrin & Hives Posted: 08-05-06 03:56am
I began taking welbutrin xl about a month
and a half ago and decided tonight that I
am going off of it. The first few nights
I took it, I was so wound up (that was the
best part of the whole experience.) last
week, over a month after having begun
taking it, I broke out into a rash all
over my body. I am not one to have
allergic reactions or anything like that,
so I was skeptical as to the possibility
of the medicine. Anyhow, so I was
treated for an allergic reaction, but it's
quite obvious to me that's not what it
was. I found several other cases of
those who've taken this and have gotten
hives. Also, I feel as though I am going
out of my mind. Can't sleep, have crazy
thoughts, but anywho. This is obviously
not "the one." u guys have any
suggestions on other drugs??

I took wellbutrin about 4 years ago and I
hated it. I didn't have any ups or downs
in my mood :| , although I guess
technically that is what it's supposed to
do. And once I got off of it I gained
alot of weight, probably around 30lbs.
