I was just prescribed wellbutrin for depression/anxiety which I have battled for quite a while. I've been on SSRI's as well and they all make me feel tired and like a zombie. It has been so frustrating starting and stopping medication in hopes that they work. I'm hoping the wellbutrin will help. I also have Crohn's disease, went through a divorce and now a single parent with primary custody of my two girls so I truly relate with you on what you've gone through as well. It has been extremely difficult and I want to be the best parent I can be for them. Your experience has really encouraged me to give this a shot! Wishing you the very best in your life too and thanks for sharing here. Keep pressing forward :-)
Oh wow 😭😭 girl you definitely have a twin story to mine! I really hope it works wonders for you like it did for me 💜 no ssri worked for me either. If you think of it, let me know how it goes! I’m rooting for you!!
@@toriebrame3419 I should've clarified, I'm a guy :-) lol But yea, when I saw you were dealing with the autoimmune issues, and you mentioned the divorce and everything, your story really hit home and I felt so encouraged. You are truly an inspiration. I'll let you know how it goes! Really hoping to find some relief.
😂😂 Omgggg major foot in mouth 😂 last time I’m ever using gender specific pronouns 🙈 well I’m glad that you are encouraged! And I’m really hoping it’s just the thing for you! Single parenting is no joke and trying to do it through the fog of depression is miserable. Still rooting for you… even though you’re a dude 😂 sorry again
@@toriebrame3419 😂🤣 No, it's all good! I totally needed the laugh today! Thanks 😊 at least I'm breaking the gender stereotypes. Lol I really appreciate the encouragement and support 🙏
I've been on Wellbutrin XL for 10 days and it's amazing. I've stopped saying negative things about myself. Some demons of my past have been left in the past, where I've been trying to leave them since forever. I've turned into much less of a pessimist and I may even turn into an optimist. I used to feel OK first thing in the morning but evenings were absolutely horrible. My current evening, however, is better than first thing in the morning used to be, while first thing in the morning has slightly improved.
Great video! I've been on Lexapro which was doing great things for my anxiety but didn't address my depression, so my doc added Wellbutrin and I'm really hoping this combo will be what works. I'm a couple weeks in on 300mg Wellbutrin and 10mg Lexapro and while the Wellbutrin is doing amazing things for my mood, it's also felt super weird at times! Like when I would take ADHD meds back in college occasionally (I don't have ADHD). I'm hoping the more psychoactive effect wears off as I get used to it, because it's definitely helping my mood I think.
Adding to my watch later list. I'm finding 300mg intense but manageable (for the latter mostly because ... it definitely gives me anxiety and makes me a bit edgy). The truth is that I'm now used to the level of productivity that I've been able to achieve since starting the med. I take it for depression also (I mean I'm guessing by your video hashtags that that's why you took it!).
OMG Zoloft was awful never again. I was a complete zombie and I lost so much business and my income suffered because of this. If you have a full time job or your own business please be mindful before considering Zoloft. I am on Wellbutrin now and my work ethic is amazing!
Hi! I did notice a slight increase in sweating the first few weeks. I don’t feel that anymore. I didn’t notice any more social anxiety. I did have a slight increase in anxiety but I felt so good I didn’t mind. I kinda like the feeling of anxiety tho, so it wasn’t a super bad thing for me. Best of luck!💜
@@toriebrame3419 Thank you Torie! I've taken it before but stopped short because of these side effects, I am considering going back on it, and hoping these side effects subside. Did you notice any improvement in motivation or drive? Did it improve focus?
It definitely improved focus. It makes me excited about my days now. On the other meds (and without meds) I really struggled staying focused or getting excited about anything at all.
I was on Zoloft fot 6 years and it worked wonderful for me.....but I put 65lbs on. I went off of it a year ago and have lost the weight, but this winter my depression came back...WORSE than ever!!! I just started Wellbutrin. About a week ago. I do feel a little better already. I just want to feel normal. How long before you all started feeding normal?
I have question.. I started mine a month ago and I kept getting waves of depression at night. Started the 300 yesterday and all day just numb but anxious and confused
Great information, thanks :) ive just finished my 2 weeks of 150mg, I have 300mg to start now but im more nervous to do so, so I just got more 150mg tabs and im taking one in the morning and I like to split my dosage and take another one at lunch or late afternoon , I see you worked with the split dosage and say you take one late to night, that makes me nervous about sleeping, what your opinion on taking it morning and lunch??, thanks for your help :)
Hi! Yes I’ve tried splitting it but I’m awful at remembering one of the doses. If I take one at night right before bed, it doesn’t add my sleep. However if I take it a few hours before bed, I’m up all night. Just play around with it and see what works for you! Hope this helps!!
Wellbutrin is not a stimulant. It is a non stimulant and a godsend to some of us who cannot tolerate stimulants. Had to clarify for those seeking information
Random question, did you happen to have flashbacks or bad memories get brought up? Apparently this is a good thing according to my doctor because my brain is finally letting me heal from past abuse and getting cheated on in relationships. I never healed properly and now I can??
Hello, I am taking buspirone and hydroxyzine for anxiety. And I have gotten back onto Wellbutrin/Bupropion and it's been a month and I have this weird feeling to get off of it. I feel like my depression has gotten better but I have been feeling like a zombie with random chest pains and noticed I'm way more anxious and have been having vivid dreams that induce more anxiety. I rarely sleep, insomnia is wild. I also am diagnosed with ADHD and I feel more calm but fewer emotions and I couldn't cry tbh!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Ugh I haaate the feeling of not being able to cry 😳 I hope you can find the perfect fit with minimal side effects!!
Wellbutrin gives me dry mouth, but I’ve only been on it 5 days. No positive effect yet, but will give it 6-8 weeks. Any unexpected side effects for you?
I did maybe the first week or so. But now I actually take it before bed and wake up the next morning feeling fully rested. I just had to figure out what worked for me.
Hi. ✋ I myself have a fear of social situations and problems with familiarity with speech. as well as adhd. traumas from childhood, etc. do you have similar "problems"? my doctor is prescribing wellbutrin for me, so i ask. nice day and good video. 🙏✌️☀️
Hi! Thanks for watching. I do have some childhood trauma stuff but no social anxiety. I tend to be more introverted than a lot of people, but no fear of social situations.
What manufacturer of Wellbutrin do you have? I’ve read a lot about the different generics and their different side effects - lupin pharmaceuticals seems to be the worst… which I was prescribed. I haven’t started it yet though. Looking for PAR pharmaceuticals which is hard to find:/
@@toriebrame3419 ty! I’ve taken 2 so far.. I just read that people who were on different manufacturers and went to lupin regressed badly - they called it a sugar pill🤷🏻♀️ I guess it just depends on our own chemistry:) thank you!🤗 happy healing
You really look lively happy to see it worked for you .
Started working for me immediately too. It wiped out my exhaustion and i could concentrate again with very little brain fog. Currently on day 12.

I literally watch these videos now to admire her looks. She’s astonishingly pretty. Disclosure: I’m not a simp, I’m an admirer of a work of art.

Hello,
I am taking buspirone and hydroxyzine for anxiety. And I have gotten back onto Wellbutrin/Bupropion and it's been a month and I have this weird feeling to get off of it. I feel like my depression has gotten better but I have been feeling like a zombie with random chest pains and noticed I'm way more anxious and have been having vivid dreams that induce more anxiety.

Is it good for boost libido?
Yes
Have experienced any anger or bad moods?
Not really beyond the ordinary I guess. I still have bad moods and anger but it’s just the human kind. Both decreased on this medication for me.
Do you have the six month update yet
I will soon!!
How long have you been on Wellbutrin?
Wellbutrin gives me dry mouth, but I’ve only been on it 5 days. No positive effect yet, but will give it 6-8 weeks. Any unexpected side effects for you?
Any update from wellbutrin?
Does it improve your sex drive?
