Re: Off topic - Wellbutrin

[Guest guest]

I was on wellbutrin recently. I started at a lower dose and titrated

up much more slowly but I guess I started feeling the difference at

about 150mg. That's when my son started noticing the difference

too. It made me very edgy and short tempered. My doctor put 2 and

2 together and took me off of it.

Hi, Chris. I asked hubby how long before he noticed it working and he

said he felt the effects within a few days (only mildly), but not the

full benefit for at least 2 months. Hope that helpful.

Thanks BJ and . I told . , he said he was

irritable/short-tempered at first but it passed. He's going to

finish the bottle. He said the psych would like him also to go on an

SSRI. We'll see. His state health insurance runs out the end of

this month, and he has to sign up for the college's insurance. Have

to see how it covers prescriptions. Thanks for sharing your

experience you two!
