Re: Wellbutrin stories?

In reply to Wellbutrin stories?, posted by gritslad on July 13, 2000, at 16:36:58

I've been on Wellbutrin SR twice: a year and a half ago at 200mg twice a day and again starting about 2 months ago (same final dose -- which is also the maximum recommended.)

Negative side effects for me have been negligible. If I take it too late in the evening, I sometimes have vivid dreams that keep me from sleeping deeply.

The only troublesome side effect was shortness of breath, but ONLY on the 150mg tablets. If I take two of the 100's, no problem. Nobody knows why (maybe some kind of peak release issue or a different binder in the tablet-making process), but it's been confirmed by trial and error that it is definitely the 150's that cause it.

Good effects have been:

-Effortless weight loss (I'm way overweight)
-Increased sexual response
-Easier to wake up in the morning
-More motivation

I went off it last time because I mistakenly thought I could do without it. This time, it seemed to poop out a few weeks ago and now it may be getting better again (too soon to tell.)

Best of luck to you.

Heidi
