Brands > Budeprion

I cannot comment on Wellbutrin on its own, but as a supplement to Lexapro this drug has changed my life. The Lexapro on its own had been the most successful drug for treating my depression, but until adding the Wellbutrin I had no idea I could feel this different. The Wellbutrin has perked up my energy, I cope better with day to day challenges, am more focused, and while my mood is more stable I am not a zombie- my emotions fall in what feels to be a normal range, neither irrationally down or up. I also feel that it may have improved some negative sexual side effects occuring from the Lexapro. As a person who hesitates to put any chemicals in my body, I am relieved to have found Wellbutrin.

I have been taking Bupropion for "Adjustment Disorder with Depressive episode" for the past month. I have already seen an improvement in my mood and ability to focus. This morning I also noticed that I actually felt happy for a few minutes. My energy level has improved as well. I expect to be well enough to return to work soon.

The only side effects that I have experienced are dry mouth and constipation during the first week. There have been no side effects since then.

I have been using Budeprion to treat anxiety disorder. There have been no side effects for me, which has been great. It does not work as effectively as SSRI's did for me, however their side effects (weight gain / sexual side effects) made me switch to Budeprion. I have been taking it for 6 months and have been doing well.
