Wellbutrin Reviews
Working / Worked
Currently been on Wellbutrin for year and a half now. When I first started this medication it completely changed my life. (Everyday was the best day of my life) I stopped taking for a few months & realized I still needed it but since I am pregnant now my depression is way worse due to horrible pregnancy and am only on 150 mg vs 450 mg I was on b4. Still loved this medication. I also lost 30lbs in first month taking which also helped with self image issues after weight gain after birth of my son.

I have been on this medication for 5 year, and it seems to help.

It made me shaky when I added it to the others to counter act the sexual side affects. But I am on it now by its self (I am pregnant) and it is helping take the edge off.

Worked for a while to stop the anxiety issues. Doc's kept trying to add meds. stopped taking it because I didn't feel like it was working as well as it did in the beginning.

keeps me from being extremely low

This has helped me tremendously. I feel much better the longer I take this. I believe it is the only med that works on the dopamine centers of the brain, and maybe that's where I was deficient.

This is the only antidepression I am on at present.

It helped to a certain degree but then my doctor didn't refill my prescription and I don't know why. I am changing doctors though and will try to get back on it.

Gives me a little more energy, but adds to the anxiety.
