I'm on week 2 of wellbutrinxl 150mg. I have major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation and anxiety as well as PTSD. I noticed a change in my mood on day 2. Things didn't feel as hopeless and I finally had a little energy to take my daughter to the park for the first time in months. I also experienced increased anxiety but that went away slowly after the first week. Depression is so debilitating and the guilt we feel because of it leaves us feeling so drained. To anyone out there reading this, if u have it you know it. I've tried Zoloft, Abilify and trazadone, nothing worked until the wellbutrin. Don't give up on the antidepressants, sometimes you have to try a few before finding the one best suited to you. Hang in there friends, it does get better with the right medication and therapy.
Keep going. I was so down, no showering , my hair was so matted, basically i just stayed in bed and didnt care if the world caved upon me. I've been on Prozac for years then they added Abilify. Now I've been diagnosed with Depression & Anxiety. Well its 8 mos later and the Abilify isnt working. Come to last week I was hospitalized for Pneumonia and while there I talked to a Doc about my Depress & Anxiety and was taken off Abilify and put on 150mg of Wellbutrin. The very next morning I felt like i spun a 180. I jumped in the shower and was looking forward to the day (mind you still in the hospital but going home next day). I have continued to feel great and cant believe it could happen so fast. Please hang in there and another thing I take Gabbapentin 3x a day for Anxiety and its really working well. Your in my prayers and cant wait fir your updates. 🔆
@@gigafia5358yes, in most cases for people with ADHD, because they usually get prescribed with normal SSRIs like Zoloft to treat depression, which reduces Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Without those two it’s impossible for ADHD people to focus, which makes them depressed again and the loop continues. Best way to avoid it is to find a psychiatrist who knows and works with ADHD/Autism.
My daughter was prescribed Prozac for anxiety along with her Wellbutrin for depression. She feels wonderful for. the first time in years. I wish you the best.
I have been on it for only a few days and I got my energy back but I also have to take Trazadone for the GAD/ Insomnia and Zyrtec to be able to sleep on Wellbutrin. I think the anxiety will subside once you are on it for longer.
I was on it for a year and didn’t notice any change other than weight gain, high blood pressure, blurry vision in my right eye and more. Happy to finally be off of that shit.
@@morningstarscotty.8656 I’m not on anything and I feel fantastic. I was put on it because They say I had a Post partum depression but I really had a nervous break down that went to mania etc.
@@mistyrestivo5061 that's good that your doing well I wish I was med free.i stopped my seroquel for a night or two didn't sleep well but had so much energy. So where are you from anyway?
@@morningstarscotty.8656 hopefully one day you will be med too. People don’t understand and doctors sure the hell won’t tell you that those Psych meds cause more problems than the person had to begin with.
Starting to day for me. Coming from lexapro and thst totally beat my ass. Wow you are so like me can’t even brush my hair was matted and 3x in a year I had to get Matt’s haircut out my self couldn’t maintain it. Thx so much for mentioning and sharing your experience. I am picking up the Wellbutrin 24 Xl 150mg.,
i know this is an old video, but do you exercise? i started experiencing elevated anxiety on wellbutrin, and it calmed down once i started exercising daily. the wellbutrin is what made it possible for me to exercise at all, so i was happy to do it. but yeah, exercise was a necessary component for me.
i dont think you need to do much in terms of exercise. for me just walking around, or biking around town seems to do the job better than going to the gym. consistency was also a big problem for me, cause i would beat myself over a lot cause i felt i was not doing enough in the gym. eventually i realised i just did not like the gym and resistance training. try and see which type of exercise you would like. walking could really help. i have gad, and panic attacks and walking or biking helps sometimes with that.
I've been experiencing the dream thing too. Before I never dreamt and now I do and I hate it. I can't catch a break in my sleep and im getting exhausted. :/
I use to take Wellbutrin and it worked so well, and I had energy, but it made my heart beat so fast, insomnia and I became so anxious that I couldn't stand myself and had paranoia. Now I am taking Lexapro, and I don't feel anxious or paranoid, but I am so depressed and no motivation. Sometimes I wonder if the anxiousness and paranoia are worth it!! I am so frustrated😩😞
It’s so frustrating to have a combination of issues because some of the symptoms might be alleviated by medication while at the same time making the other symptoms worse 😰
@@queen_of_awkward1008 I am taking a low dose of 150 mg along with Effexor 75 mg. Powerful medication 😃 Great for my depressive symptoms and ADD. However, high doses may make you irritable and anxious. What symptoms get worse for you. With armodafinil 150 mg it's eerily close to amphetamine like effects. P.S I really like your channel!

same for me, It did well the first couple of days, then after two weeks I was even having suicidal thoughts, my anxiety was on the rooftop, I thought it was because I was going through a breakup, so I kept taking it and accepting my feelings, they day I didn't take it, i did a 180 twist, It's like, my anxiety had reduced a lot and I accepted the breakup and felt peace a 100%.
I'm so scared wellbutrin will increase my anxiety... I'm holding it in my hand and decide not to take it every morning.. I'm in my lowest part of my life... So frustrating
I have terrible anxiety and just started Wellbutrin. It didn't trigger my anxiety. My side effects are a mild headache, and it just feels like I drank 4 cups of strong coffee, without the jitters
i feel as if this would be the perfect antidepressant for me, but i suffer from panic attacks and im scared it would make them worse. im currently on 150mg of trazadone at night.
It will be 2 weeks tomorrow for me. I'm having terrible sexual side effects- dry vagina, can't orgasm easy like I use to..... does this go away? Everything else I'm experiencing I love. This sucks so bad.
If you a receiving the benefits of Wellbutrin and want to stay on it, buy Reveree inserts. Orgasms are always difficult on any anti depressant. Zoloft and Celexa are notorious for delaying or not being able to achieve orgasms.
Hi, unfortunately I had an allergic reaction while on Wellbutrin so I'm no longer taking it. I'm currently taking zoloft for the depression/anxiety and ritallin for the ADHD. But if you have a chance to try wellbutrin, I would give it shot :) Best of luck to you!

What is gabbapentin?
Iv been on bupropian for nearly two weeks i feel terrible my anxiety is worse and i cant stop crying from my depression hope it works!
YOU GOT THIS WE GOT THIS. acceptance is key. Sit in it. Don’t be afraid of it. Baby steps out
I am the same. I have ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety and was put on Wellbutrin as well. On Day 3 and loving it so far.
So glad to hear it’s working out for you!
Can depression and anxiety be because of untreated adhd? I have had symptoms since 16 and it gotten worse with age no diagnose yet

maybe you should try to take anxiolytic with wellbutrin?? what do you think? or you can also mix lexapro and wellbutrin together :)

How are you doing now? Thinking about going the same route.

Hey how are you doing now, 6 months later?
Do you have a Instagram that I can’t text you on and speak about this with you?

Did you loose any weight?
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to lose any weight :(
2 Weeks is not enough honey. Maybe after 3/4 weeks there are some small weight loss effects. I would say that one month even
You are sad. That's all I can see. Being happy is why We are on Earth (& to prosper). Fill it in.
