I have been dealing with depression so long that it is a mainstay in my daily life. The depression feeds into my anxiety. I am a low starting dose. I am concerned about my blood pressure, but it hasn't noticably risen. Part of my issue may have been working remotely with little to no human interaction whilst my better half goes to work. That said, I am not as anxious these days. I even s ... Show Full Comment

I have been dealing with depression so long that it is a mainstay in my daily life. The depression feeds into my anxiety. I am a low starting dose. I am concerned about my blood pressure, but it hasn't noticably risen. Part of my issue may have been working remotely with little to no human interaction whilst my better half goes to work. That said, I am not as anxious these days. I even started traveling for business again and it is painless! I feel the need to exercise somewhat regularly again! I sweated two days in a row and actually jogged on the treadmill! I can't say that I have lost any appreciable weight, but I feel "lighter" in mood and actually want to do things. I may have incorrectly attributed my depression to being an introvert and vice versa. I do really like people even thought they (except for really good friends) drain my energy reserves.

I was suicidal (didn't want to wake up, began to consider suicide, every day was arduous, couldn't eat, socializing was difficult, loss of enjoyment of anything, hopeless, etc). Went on 150 XL and had slight improvement, after 6 weeks went up to 300 XL and more improvement, and began to be able to live a normal life and be myself again. With the increase to 300 i noticed my ears ring (bu ... Show Full Comment

I was suicidal (didn't want to wake up, began to consider suicide, every day was arduous, couldn't eat, socializing was difficult, loss of enjoyment of anything, hopeless, etc). Went on 150 XL and had slight improvement, after 6 weeks went up to 300 XL and more improvement, and began to be able to live a normal life and be myself again. With the increase to 300 i noticed my ears ring (but i already had tinitis so mostly it's just a worse version of something i'm used to coping with), my mouth is often dry and now and then my lips get super chapped, and the most notable thing is that i have a slight tremor, particularly in my thumbs. I cannot easily delicately pick up things, which makes picking at food awkward. It's about 4 months since i first started taking Wellbutrin (i'm on the generic, btw-Medicaid woo!). The past week the skin around my thumbs has felt kind of thick when i bend them and TODAY i am noticing a stiffness in my left thumb. None of the other side effects alarmed or excessively bothered me enough to go back to being suicidal, but this stiffness is weird, it's like i don't have full range of motion or my thumb just won't go where i want it to. Texting tonight has been very awkward, and typing is also feeling kind of weird, so this is the first time i've felt uncomfortable about a side effect. If it worsens I would start to consider changing it up, but that of course is an upsetting thing to have to deal with and invite that kind of chaos and darkness back into my life now that i'm finally getting on track after wasting months laying in bed. Hope you guys are doing well.

I just started taking this medication 3 days ago. I have a history of depression and recently diagnosed with AdultADD. I did begin to notice a lil less procrastination more motivated to do at least 1 task. My moods have been upbeat more often. I smoke cannabis so my urge for that has decreased. Although, 3rd day in I woke up with the most painful headache stemming from last night. I thought if I s ... Show Full Comment

I just started 4 days ago and day 2 I started getting head aches and some nausea. Not sure if that is normal or not.
