I took it and it hurt my stomach. I didn't have any positive effects. It works for some supposedly.

Idk, it worked, but it started making me even more irratable, so I quit taking it.

A neurologist mentioned to me that ALL pharmaceutical's are poison. As a person that was nearly killed by meds I would say try some other way to treat your situation. No one is even able to find out neurotransmitter levels anyways so I wouldn't recommend messing them up with a drug that was invented to make money. Just my opinion but I know quite a bit about big pharma and the business that it is as opposed to companies acting like they really want to help. It'll take time but sooner or later meds will be dropped from psychiatry...it might take a hundred years or so.
Meditation might help, haven't heard of many monks getting angry.
Peace

It did not work for me. I had a major headache constantly the days I was on it. Everyone body chemistry is different and it may work for you just be aware of side affects.

Loved it. Dealt with both depression and anxiety and gave me great motivation and energy, but has to be taken with a sedative because it's an upper.

I lost a lot of weight on it, just decided to go on a diet fairly early on and lost 10kg. Unfortunately on the slow taper off it I put that back on.

That was my own fault though.

Wellbutrin is atypical so you'll either respond really well to it, or not. You can't know in advance. But given that the drug I took before it made me stack on 10kg in a MONTH without even knowing it, weight gain can be a huge part of anxiety and depression. Losing the weight can help a lot.

Welbutrin xr made me feel awful I am sorry to say. I have heard it has helped many people. Some people swear by it. good luck.

I got really irritable, like alitmorsly said.

I'd been on it for about 6/7 months along with Celexa and it was ok in the beginning but about a month back my moods starting super changing so much so I just quit cold turkey, which you're not supposed to do, but I'd wake up tired with no get up and go. I think for me it did make me gain some weight because I didn't weigh what I do now before taking it. Like everyone else said its totally different for everyone. Good luck.

Oh, it can cause seizures too...everyone loves seizures! I sure hope you didn't take it. ALL pharmaceutical (psychotropic) meds are beyond junk, I'm shocked people still take them. Haven't people read about the corruption within the fda and big pharma?! I'm doing you a favour by hoping you don't take it...if it was a natural supplement it would be yaked off the shelves in a day with the side effects it causes.
Meditation can heal the brain, meds can only damage it.

I just reread what panic911 wrote. I also had major headaches from Wellbutrin.

I was on Wellbutrin XL and it was pretty good, no side effects to speak of and my weight stayed the same. My problem was that I felt like I was sitting on a glass floor, so to speak. It cut off too much of the sad emotions. I wasn't grinning all the time or anything, but I'm pretty sure that if a member of my family died while I was on WXL, I wouldn't have felt sad at all. I ended up going off it when I lost my insurance.

I have anxious depression. For me, prolonged stress will lead to excess anxiety, which eventually leads to depression if not checked. I tried this med because it is lauded for so few side effects. It made me waaaay more anxious and I clenched/ground my teeth all the time. Moreover, it it didn't do jack to improve my emotional state - quite the opposite. I weaned myself off. That stuff is poison to me.
