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

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.
