I was switched from Wellbutrin to Aplenzin 522mg per day. I noticed some disturbing side effects in a two week period. I don't feel dizzy, I feel off balance and have to hold on to things to keep my balance. I also started having severe nausea that Zofran and Phenergan didn't even start to help me.

I was switched from Wellbutrin to Aplenzin 522mg per day. I noticed some disturbing side effects in a two week period. I don't feel dizzy, I feel off balance and have to hold on to things to keep my balance. I also started having severe nausea that Zofran and Phenergan didn't even start to help me. My worst symptom has been an irregularity in my speech pattern. I hesitate and pause between my words. I know what I want to say it is just very difficult to get the words out. Nausea is a little better during the day but all my symptoms get worse in the evening and night. Has anyone else had difficulties with speech while on this medicine? The speech difficulties have been going on for almost 4 weeks. The other symptoms have been gradually getting worse over the past month and a half. I am seeing a Neurologist and he doesn't know why I am having such terrible speech difficulties. I would really like to know if anyone else has had these symptoms?

I've been slowing increasing dose of Aplenzin over last 3 months to 522mg. I just read a review about severe acne as possible side effect

I had been on 450 mg Wellbutrin daily for years with so-so results. My doc gave me a 30 day supply of 522 mg Aplenzin to try and it was as if someone turned the lights on. After only ONE day I noticed an immediate feeling of well-being that was bordering on euphoria without having to worry about the crash & burn.

I had been on 450 mg Wellbutrin daily for years with so-so results. My doc gave me a 30 day supply of 522 mg Aplenzin to try and it was as if someone turned the lights on. After only ONE day I noticed an immediate feeling of well-being that was bordering on euphoria without having to worry about the crash & burn. Although I am unable to take a daytime nap, I have no trouble sleeping at night. I am worried about the price - when I started it cost $1500/month and now it is almost $3000/month... this seems very high, but then again, nothing has ever worked as well as Aplenzin. I am afraid that my insurance company will decide that it is not worth the cost to have one of their patients feeling so good. While my sex drive is hampered a bit (but I also have low-T) and I may have put on a few extra pounds, I hardly consider those side effects troublesome enough to stop the Aplenzin. This is truly a miracle drug.

Do NOT take this poison! It is a high-grade amphetamine. Don't let any doctor lie to you about it. I took it 5 years and have been off it 3 years, taken off this poison by a nonAmerican doctor who doesn't buy into the "give-a-pill" theory of medicine. Wellbutrin has changed my brain permanently. I was never angry before. Now I live every day very angry. My life is hell filled wit ... Show Full Comment

I took it 5 years and have been off it 3 years, taken off this poison by a nonAmerican doctor who doesn't buy into the "give-a-pill" theory of medicine. Wellbutrin has changed my brain permanently. I was never angry before. Now I live every day very angry. My life is hell filled with anger. This medication is poison. Please, don't do this to your life and your brain. Run very far. I would give anything not to have taken this poison. I'm very sure my Medicare paid for the mags on my first doctor's Porsche. Eat right and exercise. Do not surrender to the "medicines" Rx companies give you. They don't care what it does to your brain. They only care about their profits. PLEASE, PLEASE take this seriously. Or you will be awakening every morning irrationally filled with hate and anger when you never were before. That's where I'm at now. I don't know when it will end. If ever.
