Time Taken: 2 years

Reason: Depression Date: 13 January 2010
Side Effects
The biggest side effect is severe headache, next is memory loss.

Additional Thoughts
I am taking Bupropion XL 450mg. The memory loss is effecting me in my job and my dependability. I don't trust myself to remember important events or make decisions. It did help my depression but I had to increase to 450 mg after a few months. I still have some depression when I am going through stressful events in my life such as sickness in family members. My sex drive did increase.

Location: Jax, FL
Time Taken: 1 weeks

Reason: Panic attacks Date: 10 June 2009
Side Effects
Headaches, nausea especially after eating, little cramping in the back of my leg - my muscle feel sore at times, not sleeping well, agitated, cranky, but it does make me go to the bathroom more often which is good because I do have a tendancy to retain water. I don't smoke so I can't say if it definitely works for that but I can say I definitely don't want a cigarette either. I've been on the 150 XL for a week now and the symptons haven't lightened up but from what I've been reading it takes about 2-3 weeks to get to a steady feeling. I'm going to stick it out but if I don't feel better in 2 more weeks I will definitely have to try something else. I loved the Cymbalta but there is no generic for it and my insurance would still have me paying $175 a month until I meet my $2500 ded. WalMart generics are the best way to go at $4 a pop.

Sex: M
Age: 42
Location: the Southwest (N.M.)
Time Taken: @ 2 and 1/2 years days

Reason: ...I suffer(ed) from depression following a very bad attack. Date: 12 September 2008
Side Effects
well, I started out on 150 mg. a day, about 2 years ago. I quickly went up to 300 mg. a day and had no real side effects from it...as a matter of fact, my mood swings had definitely calmed down, and I was actually happier than I had been in a while...I wasn't dependent on Wellbutrin XL, but I was on the XL because the SR didn't quite make me feel any better. Here's the REAL reason I'm writing for the advocacy of Wellbutrin... it makes my sexual side absolutely BUZZZZZ!~ There were times that I could just stand there and feel like I was going to ejaculate right there! No lying...and pardon me if that is too graphic; I started to increase to 450 mg. a day on my own... It makes me feel soooo darn horny...and it is a STRONG horniness!..I won't go into details for they might incriminate me TERRIBLY...

Additional Thoughts
I suffer(ed) from PTSD and NO self-esteem at all...Wellbutrin XL has been a life-giver to me...I feel a positive outlook on life now... I don't ever want to stop taking it. AND BY THE WAY, I WELCOME ALL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ON USAGE...MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS wiccanmagick9@gmail.com.
