Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have been on Wellbutrin for 10 days now. My appetite is suppressed (don't need to loose weight) and I feel very calm, but lethargic. I thought this med kicked you up and gave you the shakes? So I am told...any wisdom out there?

Yes it generally does as you say. You may have a paradoxical response to it. Do you respond that way to coffee? Wellbutrin is a great med if it works for you for one particular reason, it is the one antidepressant that not only doesn't interfere with one's sexuality but in fact enhances it. Stick with it awhile.

I think these meds can effect people differently and you cant always expect a specific result. Wellbutrin didnt kick me up and give me the shakes. It did worsen my social anxiety and I had sexual problems when I was on it.

Are you on Wellbutrin or the XL version? b'c that can change the result as well. All that med did for me was turn me into a B@#$H, so be careful! LOL

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I am on Wellbutrin XL, just a little worried about side effects!

I do feel Blah....giving it a chance for 3 weeks, and then forget it it is expensive.

I am on wellbutrin xl 300 mg. Had been on it for 3 years and last year my doc added lexapro to it. This seemed to help somewhat. other than that I had no side effects from it.

My appetite was also suppressed (a lot) when I took Welbutrin. That may level off of for you, as it did for my friend. Though I had to stop because of it. Good idea to give it some time to see how it is going to do for you before switching to something else.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
