You're right. Wellbutrin does not take all the depression away but it gives you a room to breathe so you can focus your thoughts on positive things. I've only been in it for a month with Zoloft and both definitely help me go through the day. Finally able to focus and complete my tasks. My next step is to attend psychotherapy consistently and hope that I will be able to function without medication in the future.
First day of taking the medication, I’ve heard good things about it though so im actually enthusiastic about it however like you mentioned we actually have to put in the work as well . Great video , thanks 😊
Spot on! I have already been down that lane, but your video would have put my mind so much at ease when I was looking for info on Wellbutrin. My psychiatrist told me that would be our next step if I didn't respond to the treatment she was prescribing.I trust this video will help many people.
😂😂 thank you for being so candid and sharing about the gas. I'm Having this on day ONE. I guess you hadn't heard of it yet because most are too shy to admit that! 😂
I just started my SSRI journey exactly 10 days ago. Maybe it’s a placebo effect but I swear I haven’t had this type of clarity in my mind since……….forever. I used to have 3-4 conversations going on, 2-3 songs and thinking about several other things ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Now, it’s just one conversation and one song 😂🤣. YOU’LL NEVER TAKE THE MUSIC OUTTA MY HEAD….NEVER *Insert evil laugh* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Things that would normally send me spiraling into anger, anxiety or depression don’t trigger me as much. It’s almost like I really DGAF. Mind you this is ONLY 10 days in. My focus at work is soooo much better. I have more motivation to do things I haven’t done for months. Walking into a grocery store or Walmart doesn’t seem as scary. Dealing with the bs with my family is easier bc I say what I feel and mean what I say. Coming home from work these last few days isn’t exhausting. I’m actually excited to have time in the evenings vs wishing I was in bed instead. My patience with people has always been great but the biggest test was with my nephew this weekend. We got through 2 days together without meltdowns bc I was able to level with him and not loose my cool. IT WAS AMAZING. BUT THIS GASSSSSSSSS MY BUT SHOULD REALLY BE A LEGAL WEPON BC OMG IT SMELLS HORRIBLE. THEN AGAIN I HAVEN’T POOPED IN 4 FREAKING DAYS. I blame the meds bc I usually go once daily. I’ll try to check back in in a month with updates.
Ive been on it for 5 years. Works amazing for me… but… after 5 years I just realized that the monthly migraines that I never connected to its use started 3 months after I started using it, as evidenced by the prescription for maxeran I got from my doc. Yeah, how I never put those 2 things together I’ll never know. So now it’s like, what’s worse, a day a month in bed throwing up or every day in bed lacking the desire to get out. Tough choice.

I have the bottle sitting in my kitchen. My anxiety is through the roof, and i havent taken it yet. Im thinking about asking my dr to give me something for just anxiety.
My Dr Gave me a combination of Buspirone with Wellbutrin. Suppose to be a great medication I just can get the paranoid feeling of starting any meds and I’m growing.
I had started on 150 mg and it was a nightmare. Then went down to the lowest dose, much better experience. Not the best for people with anxiety, but not the worst either. I feel better, but like you said, it doesn’t take all the depression away.
In NY 150 is the lowest and I also heard that same that for ppl with anxiety is not a good choice unless it’s combined with an anxiety med like my psychiatrist for me. Now if I only can get to start anyone of these meds I can get my life back. The fear paralizado me. Many has given A+on this combination. Good luck
For me with Dysthimia, it made me happy, at least the 1st day (yesterday), little tired today but I think it's just that I woke up a little early, lack of sleep. It also deceased my ADHD!
Honestly, 49 mg of celexa is too high to start off with. And 75 mg is very low. I honestly think u should get a second opinion. They started me on 300 mg of Wellbutrin with 20 mg of celexa.if you are having those side effects for too long I would ask to try a different med. There are so many choices out there. I have tried many as well. Your body will let you know which works for you. For example, years ago they put my mom on Lexapro which people raved over. It made my mom cry all day!! At that time I wasn't in meds but told the Dr that if he didn't change her meds then he will need to give me meds too lol. Good luck!!
Just 6 months into taking welbutrin it has been working on my PTSD adhd depression symptoms the only medication that has helped so far until Last Monday my spouse woke up to me having a clonic tonic seizure that lasted at least 10 min he called 911 and tried CPR on me because I was not breathing , Got to the ER and was told most likely was the welbutrin .... Sore body all week and I bit my tounge so hard I damaged a nerve and mt tounge and Lips are numb... Now do I stop taking ? Or continue with the risk of having another seizure?
Jesus Christ!! That sounds awful I'm so sorry to hear! Definitely don't take my word for it. I'm not a healthcare pro. I would not be taking it if that were my circumstances though. Give your doc a ring! Hugs
Wow! That's scary. I know that my psychiatrist made sure that I had no history of seizures and was concerned about my heart so well be watching it closely. Take care!
I went from Escitalopram to Welbutrin since almost a week x the Change of medicine is hardcore. My Heart is beating Like Crazy i have More extra systoles and i am dizzy and Like drunk😅😅 but because of my doctors and Therapy I know nothing of this is gonna kill me😅 and I stick to it for at least 2 Weeks, then it should be better. I Hope 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I was on escitalopram 20mg for months, waiting to get better. No effect. Then i went to a different psychiatrist, who started me on wellbutrin and scheduled a qb-test. Been taking 150mg for 3 days. For years i didnt know why im depressed all the time, why my memory is bad, my mood is always a rollercoaster and why i keep losing my stuff. Maybe I´ll have the answer soon. Hope wellbutrin helps me. My psychiatrist thought, if a non-stimulant option works, its better to try that first.
I am 50 years old and just diagnosed with ADD... after educating myself about it I agree with the diagnosis. my psychiatrist prescribed me 150 mg Wellbutrin. 5 weeks in went back for a checkup told the doctor nothing was happening it may as well be a sugar pill and he stated he was not surprised. But he said you have to go through a gamete of medications before insurance will cover stimulants. Unfortunately doctors have their hands tied and even though they know what the best medication is they can't give it to you until they give you several medications that are not effectacious.
What if you are depressed but have anxiety too ? That’s the only thing stopping me to start . I have Ativan for anxiety and I’m actually taking it but I’m afraid things could go out of control
Omg 😱 no jokes my two chihuahuas even crawled out from under the covers ...like wtf mom!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂... I'm going for my second month what a ride I'm so irritated and emotional then flear up in anger with a boost of energy and a come down of total calm, a rollercoaster 🎢 but hey what's new Lol Never a dull moment 😉 Have a blast Lol 😆 of a weekend your gas 🐒 monkey 😀
OMG😂😂😂just started today, found your video this afternoon and....in the evening I started with the gas like I drank mild😂😂😂Doesn't bother me, what would bother me is if it stayed in me and caused gas pain.
Hey, Alex! I hope you don't hate your life! If you do, what can you do little by little, step by step, to make the life you want, heal those parts of you that feel broken and be the kick ass guy you were meant to be!!
@@sunflowerkidworldI m not sad but I m sad due to Fatigue due to my past depression ! I have come off from deep sorrow deep depression but I don't feel energetic! Feeling very tired! I just want to do bodybuilding nothing else but my fatigue is a hardle in it. ! This fatigue is depression induced !

Hey I feel you. Definitely kept me from starting. I'm glad you are having a good experience!
Same hear. Have you started them? If so how was the beginning experience

On day 1 my friend
Wohoo!! Proud of you.
Just 6 months into taking welbutrin it has been working on my PTSD adhd depression symptoms the only medication that has helped so far until
Last Monday my spouse woke up to me having a clonic tonic seizure that lasted at least 10 min he called 911 and tried CPR on me because I was not breathing ,
Got to the ER and was told most likely was the welbutrin ....
Sore body all week and I bit my tounge so hard I damaged a nerve and mt tounge and Lips are numb...
Now do I stop taking ? Or continue with the risk of having another seizure?

How much are you taking?
Wow! That's scary. I know that my psychiatrist made sure that I had no history of seizures and was concerned about my heart so well be watching it closely. Take care!
Can you update? Did you decide to keep taking it and have you have more seizures?
I would not take another risk of a seizure - the truth is medications is not right fir everyone! - Dangerous 😳
