I took one pill and I was up for 2 days. Then I took it and cut it in quarters and it was better. LOL I was taking it for SAD, but it was not a worthwhile endeavor, really.

If you are not sleeping, talk to your doc. Irritability - maybe work on it? But if that is so not you, think about the med, I guess.

it's not a horror story, but the sh*t did me no favours.

Ive taken welbutrin now for the better part of 10 years. It is litterlay the only anti d that did not poop out on me with in a year. went off it for almost two years and recently started a very low dose to head off my depression. It is picking up where it left off no problems and feeling better. It may not be the right drug or as you said it may go away. it may not even be related but a strange coincedence. keep your communication open with your doc and if you feel its not good stand firm theres lots of anitids in the depression world

I've been on it for a year for depression. It worked for about 4 months or so and I felt great! I think it also helped with my over eating. No side effects that I can think of. I don't feel now like I did when I started taking it so I don't think it is working.

I've been on it for what seems like ever. I do remember that with dosage increases I was a little irritable and shakey, but that went away with time. Otherwise, it's been a great medication for me. It hasn't pooped out yet.

I've been on it for yrs. It is the only antidepressant I've taken(and I've taken a lot of them) that worked for me. At the higher dose of 450mg , which I take, I did have some agitation , but it went away.

I didn't get much if anything from Wellbutin. But Paxil was great.

That doesn't matter though because each med gives us individual benefits and or problems.

Wellbutrin worked well for my depression and decreased my appetite. I did feel a little more nervous and anxious on it and there was this constant gnawing in my stomach.

It helped me for my depression but WARNING: IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE SEIZURES AFTER BEING ON IT FOR A YEAR!

Wasn't a good med for me...caused mania. It's more of an activating AD then alot of the others I do believe....if the irritable feelings don't pass soon....don't hesitate to call the doc!

*hugs*

Been on this for a long time. I get really irritable if not used with a stabilizer. I am on risperyl.(SP?) I also use clonasapam as needed. Not frequetly, but if I get too irritable or anxious I will take a small amount of that.

I'm BP I. And one of those that can not tolerate any anti-depressants , w/o going manic.

When I get depressed , I just have to gut it out, as I also can not tolerate anti-psychotics
