Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 I am on wellbutrin now. Was off of them for almost a year and I am glad I am back on. One of the things I like about wellbutrin is that it can act like an appetite suppressant. I don't feel nearly as hungry now that I am back on them and I am not grazing anymore. The only side effect that I personally have had some trouble with is that about 2 weeks in I have some trouble sleeping but it doesn't last long, usually gone by week 6.

Thanks in advance. > Michele > Michele, my experience with Wellbutrin has been very positive. I suffer from primarily situationally based depression, and have used Wellbutrin on two occasions in the last two years, once for a period of 2 months, once for a period of 3 months. I take a pretty low dosage - 150 mg once a day. I find that it levels me off; rather than feeling despair and wanting to cry all the time, I am able to function quite well and feel calmer about problems when they arise. No side effects that I can identify, either positive or negative. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 LOL Like half the list is on Wellbutrin.(Only KIDDING) Just make sure it isn't the SR sustained release or the timed release. I take 300mg a day. 100mg in the am...100 in the afternoon and 100mg in the evening. Works for me...but your milage may vary. Help Please? I don't tend to post often but do read all the time. My doctor wants to put me on Wellbutrin for depression. Has anyone any experience or knowledge of this drug they can share with me? Thanks in advance.
