Here's 1 year update:

Your examples were excellent. Symptoms do happen unfortunately for most people and usually subside. I had vivid dreams for a week. Agitation for two weeks. Chest pain for two weeks. It helped my sleep tremendously! With my depression, i was waking at 9/10 am. Now I'm waking at 5/6am. I lost 10 lbs in my first month then it tapered. I believe the weight loss was due to being more active. And yes, Wellbutrin made me want it in the bed EVERY NIGHT
@@No_tyrants😜😜😝
Want it? Do you mean sex? Or is it something else more specific?
Wellbutrin was amaze-balls for me in the first month. It shot me out of depression and blew out the shadows from my brain like a hurricane. Didn't make me euphoric or happy - my life circumstances didn't change, but now I could handle them.
My mental energy turned around from 20% of the day to 100%. Sleep was a deep restful 7-8 hours, and that has been that way since I started.
Experienced 0 side effects like tinnitus, sensitivity to light or a shorter fuse (anger).
Wellbutrin's effects started to taper off in the 3rd month.
Now in month 8, I have a new baseline of mood and mental acuity. Not as crazy-high as month 1, but still much much better than pre-Wellbutrin.
Complementing Wellbutrin with exercise, nutrition and TMG/Curcumin/Vitamin B/magnesium/Omega 3 supplements. No caffeine after 1 pm.
do you drink alcohol socially?
@@rodascorner Nope, not 1 drop. It's not good for you, and it's proven.
I pray this is how my experience goes
Thanks for being so forthcoming regarding your journey to complete wellness & road to healing & recovery!!!
You can do it!!!!🤗😇😄
Thank you so much for this video ❤ You can't even imagine how it can help someone in the same situation as I am now. Wish you all the best and hope that everyone will find his own way to better life without depression.
You are such an angelic person. This video is very helpful, thank You!
I started watching your video playlist from the bottom up. So far you are right on about everything . This is only one week of my meds and hoping I'll get my energy back one day soon. Thanks again. 😊
Thank you for this guidance I’m having a ton of doubt but you set me straight. :)
Thank u for sharing your story! I truly believe you will help many people who are struggling with depression. I admire your courage and willingness to share your struggles. I pray you find healing and peace 🫶🏻
Thank you for this video! I don't really have anyone to talk to at the moment and your video really helped me to keep going and gave me hope that the current side effects will get better
It took me about 45-60 days to feel anything. After 3-4 month couldn't be happier with effects
Thanks. I have been on 300mg for a month and not felt anything yet. This gave me some hope.
I read somewhere that is could cause hypothyroidism, do you know?
@@HannahMickunasthat’s not true
Are you on XL or SR?
Thank you for the detailed video and the break down. It was very helpful.
Thank you for saying that because I experience taking Wellbutrin and filming something right away to any other psych meds that I ever been on that was the first medication that I started to feel different things on until I got to a place where I was okay
I just started Wellbutrin last week and looking forward to this journey. My energy levels have been great and I’m already getting less brain fog. But at same time, I started prepping myself to make changes other than the meds.
I disconnected from social media which I will do for awhile, no dating, more gym time and I’m hitting the vitamin supplements and eating better.
I just turned 40 and was extremely resistant to medication and just tried therapy hoping I could do all this on my own and “fix it” but finally realized I’ve had years and years of issues that require medication to get to a better place.
Thank you for these videos. They are really helping me educate myself.
Thank you so much for making these videos ❤
3:40 honeymoon happens also with Ritalin/Concerta, but lasts for about 1-2 months. This stage disappears after some time, because of tolerance and it happens in most of meds available on market. If you want to feel this stage again you should take a brake (2 weeks - 2 months. Depends on your tolerance.) It’s not gonna be the same, but it will work better.
This was SOoooo HELPFUL!!!! I just started on Wellbutrin. I was having those muscle jerks and didn't know it was this medication.
I have actually been prescribed this med for ADHD. and it's wonderful
That’s one of its off label purposes
I just started at 150. Thanks for sharing your story here. It definitely made me feel more comfortable about what this might be like.
How r u holding up
@@Tendomcgoobin ... probably his two legs 🤣😂😇🤪
@@Tendomcgoobin it's definitely helped thanks. Considering going higher. I'm using it in conjunction with Vyvanse for ADHD so might adjust that one too. Overall a definite improvement. The past couple weeks I've felt a bit of a backslide mood wise, but still far better than without it.
@@ryanofottawa How has it been with increasing executive function? I'm about to start this medication and I'm curious if it's helped anyone else not be as lazy.
@@RustyPancake53 It's definitely improved, but it's not perfect. I'm wondering whether I should move up to 300 at some point, but I'm titrating up my Vyvanse first.
It might depend a lot on what is making you lazy. For me it's helped me take care of things a little bit better for sure. I'm still low energy at times and I still struggle with controlling my focus.
Thanks for sharing. I’m just starting on bupropion today and it sounds like your issues were similar to mine. My main problem is lack of energy which makes me sleep too much, struggle to wake up and have no motivation during the day. My sexual interest is also quite low normally so would be great if this helps with that. This video made me hopeful! I really hope that it will work for me as well!
Took this for 3 years and quit about 9 months ago.. I found it was like riding a wave, I had days of extreme (unnatural) joy but then followed by days of equal depression... I also had twitchy muscles at times, like I would find myself flexing a muscle over and over almost like a nervous twitch or something.. all these symptoms went away about month after quitting
yeah i think i might be in a similar situation. I figured that it being extended release would limit this, but it doesn't feel like it does. It is possibly aggravating it i guess because things like impulse to contract muscles is so ever present that its wearing me down.
Thank You♥️This was really helpful
I do get the light sensitivity sometines as well. I get the muscle jerks
I also take it with amtripyline but too much, and i start seeing shadow people and feeling like im being watched.
After 4 years in Wellbutrin the doctor switched me to another drug and I got sick of the side effects ,I told him I’d rather put up with Wellbutrin side effects .Wish you the best,you’re a beautiful person ,I have a lot to share as well ,I wish I could help other people
I know I need this medication but I’m afraid of the side effects. What did you experience?
It's already been 6 months. Wow. I really love your background in this one
thank you so much ❤️ I really hope my videos are helping smn out there who needs this kind of knowledge
i had irritability before I started taking it
@@Keita_thecyankatWellbutrin caused me autonomic neuropathy
I’ve been taking it for a couple months and it helps me focus and be more active. Also you’re gorgeous
I take Wellbutrin for ADHD and it has helped me with focus and detachment from emotions, so I’m not as impulsive. I do have sensitivity to light and muscle spasms and jerks. I also sometimes have pressure in my left eye. I have found taking a multivitamin and extra potassium to counteract some of those issues to be helpful. It has helped me to feel more rested and it’s has heightened my sexual desire and reaction. For me the side affects don’t outweigh the benefits. Oh also, it decrease my appetite a little and has helped stop my desire to smoke and drink alcohol so yeah it works for me.
It has helped me with the emotional side of things, but not the ability to focus/control my attention. I also feel more rested/less sluggish in the morning on it. But i feel more gross at night, which is a bit annoying because im usually a nighttime person so I am used to delaying most of my cognitively demanding activities until the afternoon/evening, at which point I feel the least capable being mentally active now.
I am also generally sensitive to anything that induces spasm. Things like diphenhydramine (benedryl) i have to take very cautiously because even slightly more than my theraputic dosage triggers rls type symptoms and completely overtakes the calming effects i use it for to get to sleep. And of course i cannot even take that at all now on welbutrin. Maybe i could take an extremely low dose, but it already persists in my system well beyond the nominal duration of effect, and I think welbutrin also interferes with the enzymatic breakdown of it so the effects are even stronger and persist even longer while on welbutrin.
I wasn't aware that it interacted with diphenhydramine until i experienced it first hand. I could feel the diphenhydramine lingering for 2 or 3 days after just 1 25mg dose. Not fun.
Your eyes are astoundingly beautiful
I agree. I was going to make a similar comment, but didn't want to come off weird. It''s more of a compliment if anything
Thanks so much for this review. I'm relatively new to wellbutrin and I've noticed a much clearer mind. Im somewhat concerned that im in the "honeymoon" phase you described. I dont feel euphoria per ce, but i definitely have a spike in motivation and a tiiiny bit of that energetic feeling. Like maybe one tenth of the feeling i had on adderall or vyvanse.
The irritation is FOR REAL. Im not an angry person but man, i really feel that irritation. This crossed over to my dreams aswell. I havent noticed any change in frequency of dreams or anything, but they do tend to be irritated dreams now, which isnt the best really and definitely not the kind of dream i like to wake up from, lol.
Thank you for sharing. For me it is planed to change my current medication to bupropion in February. Your videos help me a lot to get over my fear. my father was already depressed and i adapted very much as a child. I suppressed all my emotions so that I wouldn't cause trouble when my father sat at the dinner table and covered his face. I just feel fury and anger deep inside me, which is still there. that's why I was always the good boy who helped everyone. if this pent-up decades-old rage is released in a short time through bupropion, that is certainly very healing for me, but probably hell on earth for those close to me. With your video I can better prepare myself and my loved ones for it. Thanks very much! How did you express your anger?
Kind regards from Germany
I hope medication is going to work out for you, and surely let me know how it goes if you want to because maybe smth will be different, you never know. As for anger - I spoke my mind when things irritated me (even raising my voice), I did not apologize to people or about situations if it wasn’t my fault. My anger gave me more strength to respect myself and be unapologetic about who I am. Sometimes I threw things around but those were usually things that could not break, like clothes or pillows. I didn’t hold the anger in. My friend who studies psychology suggested that screaming in a pillow is a very effective way and I tried that too when I was really really angry. It helps a lot but also makes you cry uncontrollably for a while. I think singing in full voice if you can could help release the energy. Also when I had mild irritations I just wrote everything down, every single detail on a paper to let it out and then forgot about it. It also helps a lot if you have someone with you who knows what you are going through, and they are not frustrated with your emotions but listen to your angry ramblings instead. That makes you feel like your anger is validated. Also you really gotta think and pinpoint what is the exact reason for your anger and who or what you are angry at. Helps to deal with resolving it internally. And then the last is I guess you gotta work on forgiving - first of all yourself - that this happened to you, that you couldn’t protect yourself, that you let this happen, or that you didn’t know any better at the time, or that you were forced to sacrifice and supress and nobody noticed, you know, everything that applies to you. And then you can move on to forgiving others. I hope this helps and I guess I have to make separate video about the anger issue :) I will let you know here if I do
@@Keita_thecyankat Thank you for your answer and your great advices. I will see how bupropion works with me. Hopefully good as I am quite low in energy and very unmotivated, especially at work. I will try out all your advices and share my experiences.
You should study psychology as well :-)
@@Keita_thecyankat Currently on Wellbutrin for my ADHD and depression and this comment of yours... Reading it alone made me release a ton of childhood difficulties. I know it is probably the medicine making me feel that but I never thought I'd ever feel at peace with this trauma
Your comment about anger and rage is very interesting. I have never taken an antidepressant, but I have done other modalities for mental health issues, including talk therapy, meditation, deep conscious breathing, neurofeedback, etc. All of those things have always led to feelings of rage afterwards. I did a neurofeedback session once and came home and took a baseball bat and destroyed my matress and bed. Then I quit neurofeedback lol. Sometimes when I meditate for more than 20 minutes I sometimes make loud angry noises and my face becomes really stiff and angry/mean looking. It just happens--I don't force it. I think one of the root causes of mental health issues (and somatic physical pain) is repressed unresolved anger/rage. I think we all need to face our own unconscious rage at some point. For me the rage eventually has reduced the more I was able to face it. Running from your rage does not help, but also joining your rage and becoming angrier doesn't help. Spiritual teachers say you need to tend to your rage like it is an angry baby. You do it with love and compassion, completely nonjudgmentally. Anyway, I believe you are totally correct that you have to accept your anger, not think it is a problem with the medication. Your mind is opening up. Bottled up emotions are coming to the surface for integration. It sounds like the medication is helping you work through all of that.
You are spot on. The more I looked into what I was so angry about, the more everything about my mental states made sense, and eventually my anger disappeared.
There is an evil spirit latched onto you. Or your have some pastlife aggression that will require you to be hypnotized. I suggest going to your nearest crystal shop and find some grounding crystals. etsy would be a great alternative if you can find a store near you. smokey quartz, auralite-23, moldavite, golden lemurian seed quartz, black tourmaline
Hi Keita, thanks for the video. I have had alot of sleeping problems in the past. Namely problems with getting to sleep on time ( instead of very very late) and waking up in the morning (its called DSPD or DSPS). I had it for 15 years and solved it recently while supplementing with NAC or N-Acytel-Cysteine, which is just a simple amino acid, it can be bought in any health store or pharmacy without prescription. This has honestly changed my life, had to take it for a few weeks before all settled and i slept as normal. Maybe it helps... take care and be well.
I have been suspecting that I might have this disorder, so I will look into your suggestion. Thank you so much !!
@@Keita_thecyankat I hope it will help you! And cure you of this. And I hope Wellbutin will work for me. Thanks for sharing. Be well Greetz from Holland
Bupropion is great for me! I can’t believe how energized I am. Yesterday was my first day, Bupropion worked immediately. I mean the first day right away. How my body responded to the meds was instantly more energy, my mood was better ( uplifted), no urge of wanting to eat, I never felt hungry at all. I made myself eat two meal. Which was fine until I went for a evening snack a vomit everything up. I was very nauseous, I couldn’t stop myself from vomiting. Also I slept like a baby. The last few weeks barely any sleep. My only concern is the loss of appetite. It seems I have to remember to eat. Also the dry mouth is real. I just drink plenty of water. I hope my body adjust this meds in due time because I’m loving it.
I’m on week 3 and I’m tired again. How are u feeling now?
After watching your video, i started wellbutrin from today with zoloft which i am taking for almost 7 years.I am really hopeful for the best result of these tow antidepressants combination.
Thank you for your video! This takes a lot of courage. Does the anger get better or go away? My family and friends say that when I switch medicine I get angry. I had a severe adverse reaction to Prozac and they want to start me on Wellbutrin but I’m afraid.
The anger went away for me after about 8 months. It was strong in the beginning and then gradually disappeared. But I also worked through a lot of repressed anger in therapy and I think that made a major difference.
I'm also on Wellbutrin. I appreciate her candid video but really everyone is going to experience the antidepressant side effects differently. Mine was severe fatigue!!
I completely agree and even have mentioned it that everyone will have their own unique situation with side effects. I think we should all still share our experiences so that people don’t feel alone and are at least somewhat informed what to pay attention to when they are going through this.
Thank you for this. I’m on Day 3
Thank you for sharing your experience so far with Wellbutrin. I started almost two weeks ago because Zoloft after a couple of months made me feel almost neutral about everything, even good things which I wasn't a fan of. I'm also taking Adderall for ADHD so being sexual was almost non-existent with Zoloft and Adderall. So I'm hoping that Wellbutrin will counter those negative effects of Adderall where Zoloft only added to them.
How do u feel now??
Zolfot make me lazy & sleepy all the time
@@saraaldar1434 is that even when quitting
@@riosimpson no am still use
Does Adderall negatively affect your sex life? It just might be the Zoloft.
Adderall helped me with sex in the sense that my mind isn’t wandering during it lol.
2 weeks on it and I'm dizzy, have headaches, have ringing in the ears. I am less depressed but still have lows. If these side effects don't stop I won't be able to continue
My first month on welbutrin changed me completely. I was numb with homicidal urges onlh until it was out of my system
SAME here! I had no idea why I was feeling full of rage . Wonder if mass shootings are sometimes connected to psych meds?!
@@susanmorgan4151yes actually if you do some research you’ll find that some people who did that were on meds. So I would say it’s quite possible
The sleep cycle thing is such a huge part of depression and anxiety that when keeping my own sleep hours, I didn't need antidepressants for the first time in my adult life. Then I needed money again and work being on early schedule put me back into never sleeping much mode and made things awful again.
Great review. Love it!
I’ve been on it for about 3 weeks and it ruins my sleep but give me crazy energy through the day
That extreme energy will change. Be very aware , this drug can cause rage a few weeks/ months in. It's like uncontrollable .... horrible.
Omg the anger. I’m 4 months in and I lose my temper a lot. Like, everyday something sets me off. I’m such a non-confrontational person, it is bizarre, but I do think it’s all repressed.
I had a horrible time when my docteor put me on Wellbutrin for bipolar 1. My experience involved not only me being put on Wellbutrin, but also valium, trileptal, and another one I can't remember. I gained 50 lbs and was a nervous wreck who was afraid to leave my house. I have permanant damage from it. Now I am on Latuda and nothing else. I get through the day OK now. I rmember the muscle jerks. On Wellbutrin, there was a total lack of self care or self awareness in general that affected my social life in a negative way.
Thank you for making this video. I started two weeks ago and I'm already starting to feel a difference. I hope I can change my life for the better.
Starting bupropion soon ! Your accent is so cute!
Thank you for sharing
thanks a lot for sharing.
I loved Wellbutrin (Brand only) I only took 100mg a day. When I got off of it after a few years my brain had been reset and I never went back to that "stay in bed" depression I used to get. Also, I was allowed to skip a day if I felt too hyper. It was fine. I got off it very easily too.
I couldn't do more then one month. All I did was cry and felt so much more depressed then before that it was scary and I had to stop. It's interesting how differently people react.
I’ve tried it 3 or more times since i was in my early twenties. I’m in my thirties. This is day 3. I don’t remember being lethargic when I begin taking it, but we will see what happens.
3rd day taking it why do I feel lethargic??? Not to mention I take aderal 30 mg tab on top of that
Thanks for sharing. I’m glad it’s helped you. I’m doing research to decide if this is something I need to ask my dr about. My gut is telling me definitely yes but I’m afraid of having some bad side effect that may be irreversible? I’ve heard some horror stories 😬
thank you
Yes, the rage has been WILD.
Omg Facts like was all over the place trying to fix everything 😮
Been on it for a month now with 150mg a day and apart from headache and some muscle twitch i have not felt a thing. nada nothing. Now started on 300mg so we'll see if that changes anything
Do you have any update? You increased your dosage
@@terminalstack1666 only positive thing is less appetite but negative is I find it extremely hard to get going in the morning. I have never really had problems with that before but some mornings I can hardly get myself out off bed
just started 2 days ago, sleep hasnt been great but thats the only thing Iv noticed.
very helpful, thank you :)
If you're still feeling that way on the medication and you had anger inside of you is still not really great to be on that medication because that is a side effect I realized with Wellbutrin did it sometimes was Target what you have felt or what your trauma has been and sometime it could stay there and it's not going anywhere and with that being said it's time to get off of it because you don't want to be in that place you want to be able to deal with that but not also have that as an issue suppressing up against you
Any issues with hair falling I read about it.. also can you talk about eventually stopping the drugs? I heard bad things about it. Or your thoughts on it? I just got the script but too scared to actually take it. I used to take lexapro but it made me lay in bed. I heard this does the opposite. I’m actually taking this (or should be) for anxiety and heart rate/palpitations. Said I need to reduce stress levels.
It is hard for me to objectively comment on hair loss because I have been losing hair slowly for the last 15 years (I presume because intense anxiety and critical vitamin D). So I have been actively trying to combat my hair loss with all kinds of treatments, and I can say that in the last year I have seen more hair growth than loss. I cannot say that I have noticed wellbutrin making my hair fall out.
As for being scared - nothing will happen overnight (unless some sort of allergic reaction). It is a slow process. Allocate some free chill time for yourself like a week or two if possible just to see how you are feeling, what are your side effects and if there is any positive change. Then you will understand if you should continue or quit.
And yes I can talk about my idea of how I am going to quit wellbutrin when it is time. Thanks for the video idea !
It's different for everyone. Taking for month now and good for me. Love it. May not be the same for others. I had chest pain for the first two weeks and then it went away. I had agitation for two weeks also. Like bad agitation. But symptoms usually subside. Talk to your doctor
@Amzderdamn yeah I had weird chest pressure thing for about 3 weeks when I started but now week 7 seems almost all gone
Hair loss is more common in man
Thanks you just talked me out of taking it!
Great video and explanation. I now know I’m not the only who experienced Wellbutrin honeymoon. Mine only lasted 1 week though
My endocrinologist prescribed this to me for weight loss. I’ve been on it a month and have noticed anger, hives and chest pains. I’ve learned this doesn’t mix well with caffeine. The waking up in the middle of the night and ear ringing has stopped. On some days I’m noticing reduced appetite but no weight loss as yet
Can You take toogether Wellbutrin and Buspar(Busperin)??
I have been taking Wellbutrin for 1 week and nothing. I’m actually very tired, really sucks. I hope somethings changes cause I felt better off of this med so far.
I wonder if taking it at night before bed would actually help with falling asleep and waking up on time. It might ruin your sleep though. Other than taking it right before bed, I definitely would not take it any later than first thing in the morning.
I'm been taking it for 9 days now. On the 3rd night, I had insomnia and lots more energy. Now I have a bit more energy, and very vivid dreams. It's definitely working on my mood. I feel better. I'm curious as to how I'll feel a month from now.
Well, how are you feeling now? I have insomnia and I have this medicine in the drawer, but not taking it now. But I’m feeling that I should start taking it again, but can I sleep? 😮 I’m sleeping all day every day and I am sick of it…
@@melliecara well the insomnia went away after the third night, so i only had insomnia for 1 day.
My energy levels actually arent much higher; theyre just normal.
However, wellbutrin helped my depression significantly. Im no longer suicidal, i can enjoy things and i can go to school again (my depression was so bad that i could not go to school. Just felt severely suicidal all the time).
So thats been good. But i have been getting headaches for the last 2 and a half weeks (they fking suck), and just when they seemed to go away, my psychiatrist increased my dose (now 300mg) and today i have and had an annoying headache. On the plus side, the headaches have gotten milder.
Unfortunately, wellbutrin didn't help my depression or anxiety at all. I felt worse, more anxious. I was only able to sleep every other day at the point of exhaustion.
i start my first dose tomorrow, i hope i don’t feel tooo anxious
Informative and helpful video. I'm 12 weeks into Wellbutrin. Just increased dose to 300mg. I definitely have some vision side effects, especially light sensitively. Can't even consider going outdoors without sunglasses. Same sexual side effect as you, and going along with it is a very short fuse in terms of getting provoked into anger. Both of these seem to relate to testosterone levels. I'm still not seeing much in the way of general mood lifting. I will reassess continuing with Wellbutrin in about 6 weeks.
I started my medication with wellbutrin 150mg today, and thank you for sharing your experience!
I actually wasn't aware of some of the other side effects when I got the prescription, so not gonna lie, i am a little worried about how my side effect experience is going to be. Especially with irritability and seizure (I don't have a history of it, but still worries me). The doctor gave prescribed this for my ADHD and depression.
I’m in the same boat. Started today. Good luck to both of us and take care!
@@relaxmore444and Volgg, how are you both doing?
@@RamonaMcKean it’s been a rollercoaster for me. My anxiety has been worse and I have had some panic attacks. Too early to tell about the depression but I might feel less down. I am gonna follow up next week and see how we proceed.
@@relaxmore444 All the best to you. And may you indeed relax more! 🙂
How’s it going, guys? I know I need this but I’m afraid of side effects 🥹
I ended up with Parkinson-like symptoms. Stuttering, unable to walk, finally I developed hydrocephalus. Very small percentage of users develop severe symptoms. Best of luck to you. ❤
did this go away?
@@lizzierrussell No, not completely. It comes and goes, and resulted in a swelling of my ventricles. Hydrocephalus. I am struggling with a bad bout at the present time. I’ve been posting shorts of where I am at present. I wish you well. 💞
@TinthiaClemant my heart broke watching your vid of your progression. Im so so sorry!😢
@@Kyutenessss Hello. Thank you. I’m pushing forward, determined to have my life back. ❤️
@@TinthiaClemant That news makes me unsure about continuing my treatment on Wellbutrin. It does make my ADHD manageable but if it can cause these issues would I not be better not taking it?
Wellbutrin did zero
For depression
Absolutely zero
It did give me energy for sure
Thanks for video
By definition, if it gave you energy, it affected your depression.
@@skontheroad energy yes depression no
I just started the medication 💊 and im on day 10. What should i expect?
zoloft had me feeling like a zombie, wellbutrin has me feeling GREAT even tho it made me h0rny as hell.
Hahahah 😂
I'm scared of this. I don't want need more horniness lord
@@moniquekwachou342it is also prescribed for sexual dysfunction. I just started taking it (bipolar II).
Bupropian xl is like doing blow. Was great till I broke out in itchy hives allover.
youre goated for sure
it really helps with my anxiety and not really caring what people think of me...............but it makes me so angry and irritable which sucks.
I've been take it for over a year. Max dose ot 450. And it been a life saver for me. So far no side effect. This is the only thing that works for me.
can you write in more detail about the positive changes that you experieced?
About sleeping routine, here in Poland you have dr Jóźwiak. He is a specialist in AHDH and he says the problems with sleeping routine is caused by the lack of melatonin’s in our brains, it kicks out later in adhds brains, and that’s why people with ADHD might have a problem with regularity in sleeping routine, also due to it a lot of people don’t feel hungry on the morning, usually eats their first meal at noon time.
He suggests taking melatonin 2 hours before planning going to bed, and it really helps to set the new sleeping routine, and believe me- I had a problem with regularity wit sleeping since like 10 years old.
And now - when taking 3mg on the evening (usually at 9pm) I sleep better, wake up with no alarm clock, and feeling fresh and full of energy. Also have more dreams during the night. It really is worth trying.
3mg is a medium dosage available in pharmacies here in Poland. There is 1,3 and 5mg available.
You do have also ADHD have you?😁
I have not been diagnosed with ADHD and I have taken melatonin for a long time, different dosages and it didn’t help much. But I will try taking melatonin 2h before bed, that would be something new for me, thanks !
So i been on 150 for close to a year now and my doctor told me i can start taking in twice a day now to 300 I got prescribed because i really wanna quit smoking and it has gotten better for me i only crave it when i see it or at my job since everyone vapes there it has also slowly help me stop craving weed(i still get cravings but not as much as i use to) I guess im just kinda nervous about upping my dosage I don’t want to get a bad side effects. Btw i have never been prescribed any other medications this is the only one ive ever tried and the first.. How long does it normally take to feel the effects once you up your dosage?
It’s different for everyone. Side effects usually appear almost right away (if there are any), while the positive effect takes a few weeks (up to 8 weeks) to start working.
It did stop my cravings for weeds more than tobacco actually
@@visionary6498 I have gotten better with both but I was more addicted to weed... and wanna stop both all together because I be spitting up a lot of mucus smh
Thanks for sharing. I’m on the honeymoon stage. Ugh I’m going to miss it lol
I assume you never used illegal drugs . This med does nothing
How long did it last?
Brain zaps and muscle jerks are definitely dangerous for people who have seizures. hope I never get them from wellbutrin as I have a history of seizures. I'm on a very low dose at the moment though. 100mg/day
On my 4th week on Wellbutrin. But real quick, yesterday I accidentally doubled my dose. I didn't realize until about lunch time when I started feeling a little off and had major brain fog. I kept staring off in place. I was at one point I staring at a coworker but didn't realize what and who I was staring at until she said some...awkward...anyways some of my current sides are dry mouth, some irritability, brain fog, and loss of appetite, which is a good thing. I tend to over eat when stressed or when working out a lot. It has help a lot with with my ADHD with focus and lessens my compulsions. The brain fog is slowly going away tho. I suffer from PTSD and ADHD and I'm optimistic so far with Wellbutrin. My depression was getting really bad over the holidays. I was even leaving my room. But things are better
Edit:
Also, try getting so blue light filter glasses to help with the vision issues. I was having the same issues with lights and the glasses seem to help a little
Thanks for the blue filter glasses tip!
Also I totally forgot to mention dry mouth.. thanks for bringing it up. I try to have water with me everywhere I go. Especially when I have to speak a lot somewhere like in therapy :D
I found for me that if I eat a very low carb lifestyle it also helps bunches. It's been shone that diet plays a big part in our mental health.
hello i wanna ask.Will it work in lowdose? I dnot have depression but i wanna try it for quiting cigs and beign tired often.I am wondering how low dose would work i mean like half of pill or 1/4 of pill
I really don’t know, you have to ask your healthcare specialist.
I’m almost on two weeks of this medicine 150mg & I feel wide awake from it. It keeps me awake at night, I can’t fall asleep naturally. When I wake up I’m wide awake ready to go but I’m also tired.
I just started taking this too. I am 10 days in. What time do you take it?
Wow! What manufacturer brand are you on? I can’t get out of bed?
Even I was thinking about moving to Ca
I had to stop the 150mg after 2 months i lost like half my hair.... i take prozac now and its better and no more hairloss

I have been on it for 2 weeks no side affects yet. I feel better than when i was on paxil. Paxil made me gain weight this doesnt! So far i am good . We will see in a couple months....
I’m about a week in an also experiencing many of these same side effects.
I started taking the medicine yesterday but I did not sleep due to insomnia. Do you think it is temporary?
Are you sure that the insomnia is caused by Wellbutrin ? My sleep is okay. Wellbutrin can make you more active so it is advised to take the med early in the morning.
I've been on it with 450mg/day for 4 years now. Most of the side effects are gone. Not planning to quit this medication.
Happy to hear, what was it like when you started?
@@stewartlittle4623 a bit more nervous, running thoughts, libido came back, motivation in general.. it was actually pretty free from negative side effects
Oh I felt the anger/ rage about 2 months in!!
Oh my goodness!!!!! I had no idea this was a potential side effect!!! HORRIBLE!
I relate to the never normally being angry, but these meds bring out the teeth lol agitation. But I never considered the repressed anger that perhaps is coming out. Many other good points too. Thanks:)
I felt horrible the first month, like everything was way worse. Then it mellowed out and I guess it is helping.... Definitely not feeling like that first month.
I m on it and am SO sick. Going to doctor 💊. I need off of these pill.
I just got my dose upped.. but i am already angry and highly irritable.. like full blown episodes. So now im worried
I take 300mg for a year now and the anger disappeared about 10-11 months in. Usually though there is a deeper cause, it is possible that you have had repressed anger for some time. I would suggest looking into that. When I understood where my anger came from, it started to lose its significance over time and eventually disappeared.
For first 2 weeks , wellbuterin works very fine. My thoughts process is like speed of light. Then after two weeks, I'm not feeling anything. How long I have to continue to see the results again?
It will not come back because in the beginning your system is overstimulated with Wellbutrin and responds unnaturally. Then your body adjusts, this is why you think it is not working. It took me another 5 months to feel something that resembled that first feeling, but then it passed and everything stabilized again. I am just generally more active than before Wellbutrin, but the speed of light thing is not coming back. I wish it did, I felt like a superhuman..
@@Keita_thecyankat it's my first month. Can I continue wellbuterin or switch to concerta?
Ask your doctor. I am not a medical professional, so I really don’t know..
