In reply to Welbutrin... please help, posted by Gee on March 31, 2006, at 15:44:02
> About a month ago I started taking Welbutrin. I'm up to 300 mg's a day. But I feel horrible. It's made my depression worse than it originally was, I'm so tired ALL the time, I have anxiety like I've never had it before, and I have absolutely no appatite.
Are you tired from inability to sleep or insomnia? If so, something should be prescribed by your doctor for that, preferably a real sleep aid like Lunesta or Ambien/AmbienCR.
The appetite thing is not surprising, it was derived from Tenuate, an appetite suppresant agent and is very distantly related to amphetamines.
I believe it would be beneficial for you to discuss with your doctor on her phone or email if possible in detail about this situation and if you don't get a response that suits your need and trouble, I'm not sure where you live, but you should get a second opinion then. Wellbutrin is not for everyone, it was too much of a stimulant for me. Sounds like you perhaps need a more sedating thing like a couple of the SSRIs are or some other class of medication.
