I went from 150 to 300 mg and the diffrence were huge. I felt clear minded, positive, funny, outgoing, social, ready to conquer, make plans, everything that I have previously missed. However around 6 PM, (takes it 9 AM,) the effect goes off and I feel a little bit anxious and the contrast is between good and bad is enormously. Besides a little bit anxiety and not feeling sharp when it goes off I have not experienced any side effects. I have heard many people at internet forum claiming that "honey moon period" will go away and you'll start to loose the effects of wellbutrin. What do you guys say? I have been on this medication for almost 14 days. I am scared and anxious about not being able to feel how I feel on 300 mg because that is literaly the best feeling I have always missed, without it feeling drug like like amphetamines etc... With that I mean no loss of aptite, sweating, grinding teeth etc.

Im on Wellbutrin XL 150mg I take in the morning when I wake up. for about 8 days now and I smoke cigarettes. one of the side effects says its to help ppl that have nicotine cravings to be not as bad and help give me energy to do my job. I also have nicotine patches and the gum, I haven't used any of the patches yet and I may not but the gum is helpful at work. I was wondering when this medication should start to kick in my system...I feel like its starting too and im concentrating a lot better now
I was on Zoloft for 4 years and tried going off in 2021. My symptoms came roaring back in just two months. I'm back on it, but I've had to increase my dose. I'm terrified of going off again.

It made me extremely angry after doing wonders for 2 months. Then I had to stop it because everything was irritating me to the fullest, it was unbearable.
Same with my daughter, she literally looked like she was cracked out when she went to 300 had a panic attack crying rapid eye movement eyes bulging horrible, she is back to 150 , at this point I don’t know what to do because the doctor says, he has never heard of these side effects, idk,
How does Wellbutrin feel compared to adderall/stimulants? I have ADD and anxiety/depression, and have been on stimulants for a decade. Now, the side effects of adderrall-horrible anxiety, overactive CNS, etc- have gotten really bad for me, and I am trying to stop adderall. My doc suggested Wellbutrin. I am concerned that it will feel just like adderall, with all the similar side effects I am trying to get away from. Can someone advise me on this? Does Wellbutrin feel at all similar to adderall in this regard?
depends on what version you have, i speculate you mean the long release welbuterin. well its dose dependent but the benefit is not waiting for the medication to kick in or that you feel depressed when the adderall stops working
If I were to compare Wellbutrin to Adderall, I'd say Wellbutrin is 10 times weaker, but for me that's a good thing. Wellbutrin helps me with motivation and energy, but nowhere near the level that Adderall did. However, Adderall would apparently make me uptight and irritable, and Wellbutrin doesn't.
Thank you for the review. You gave me the courage to try it. Have you tried drinking alcohol on it? I would like to have a glass of wine or occasional drink when out with friends?
I drink the same and never noticed a single side effect.. if anything it keeps you sober longer as it increases your tolerance to alcohol, but I have heard from people that being on Wellbutrin makes them drink a lot! Almost as an instinct.
@@Jaylade Instinct as an it makes you want to drink as if it drives you to the bottle lol.. it didn’t happen to me but I saw a video of a girl reviewing Wellbutrin, and she said it turned her into a complete alcoholic during the period she was on Wellbutrin..
Thanks for the reply that helps me make my decision. So when you say lite Adderall what dosage is that with if I were to take the maximum dosage would that take me past the diet version haha.
@@toriebrame3419 does it give you the similar feeling of when you take adderall-you get increased pulse, blood pressure, anxiety. etc.? Or does Wellbutrin not at all feel like that?
@@kobebryant-cl7ul For me its helped with my anxiety actually. It does give you energy but it doesnt have the amphetamine feel to it at al. Its basically everything I wanted Adderall to be lol.
Hey said it caused high heart rate... can you go to more in detail... is it like a red bull kinda ? A coffee? Tea? Was it worrisome fast?? Is it all the time?? Or just at first when u took it? can you please reply to this or someone on the medication... -I’m givin this medication for high heart rate and palpitations and anxiety.... she says I need to lower my stress.. but if it’s gonna make my heart rate go any higher.... sometimes it’s already over 100 for no reason. So. It’s a concerning side effect. Now im extra scared to even touch it. It’s been sitting on my desk for 2 days now.
I don’t drink anything with caffeine so this is my only stimulant. Because of that I really can’t compare it to a Red Bull or anything because I just don’t know. If your doctor prescribed it, they probably have a good reason. Try it for a week and see what happens? Maybe talk to your doctor about your concerns as well. Hope this helps!
Hi, wow, you say it seemed to work best at 6 months, ive went into mild depression from sobriety , I just finished 4 weeks of 150mg and just finished my first week of 4 weeks of 300mg, not sure what my doctors plan for me?,
@@toriebrame3419 interesting, I tried 150 before before bed and I woke up at 3 and could not fall back to sleep again so I do morning and lunch, also the pharmacist gave me generic bupropion and I exchanged it for name branded Wellbutrin 150s so I can play with the doses, They say it’s the same ingredients but they play around with the fillers and that effects the absorption rate so I don’t trust it as Wellbutrin xl is working nice, I’m slowly taking my second dose sooner every day so that I can eventually take 300 in the morning 🤗
Hi , if you want to get off it, make sure with a physician that this "off period " will not make you tolerant to the drug. So that if you will get back on it it still works for you .
@@toriebrame3419 I heard from a psychiatrist that with SSRI there is no guarantee they work a second time. So I wonder about wellbutrin. If you have 0 side effects why stop? And if you do I would still consult with a Psychiatrist with a lot of experience whether there is indeed such a risk. For me its a lifesaver and I dont want to stop it.
Are you still off of it? I suggest to stay on it I have a friend who took welbtriun And she stop taking it after she felt better And she had to get back on it They that’s common with welbtrium for some reason People feel they don’t need It anymore I guess since it’s a stimulant And very different from other antidepressants You might need it forever like my friend But that’s ok! Her life had never been better!
@@jacobtoaff1188 I was on Zoloft for 4 years and tried going off. My depression came roaring back and I went back on, but I've had to go from 50 mg to 100 to 150 and now I'm at 200. I wonder if that off period made me tolerant. If 200 doesn't work, I'm hoping another SSRI or something can work as well.
do you get physical muscle tension, neck tension, headaches, etc.? I had that to extreme levels on Adderall and Vyvanse....im scared Wellbutrin will cause this as well?
@@toriebrame3419 Thanks a lot. Overall, would you say it changed how you felt psychically at all, like made you feel more physical energy or kinda jittery, or was it mainly mental calmness and energy?
@@Ronaldinho1996 mental calmness and energy. There's a buzzy energy to it especially the first 4-5 days for me, but it feels good. Not the edgy/intensity feeling from amphetamines. It's cool
always take it with food omfg what dkjhgdkjgldfkjd thats scary, im going to try to remember that. i take my morning dose and sometimes i go back to sleep for a little ://
I would like to know as well.. getting off lexapro after 3 years because of side effects. My doctor recommended Wellbutrin for anxiety but I haven’t heard much about it for anxiety..
Oh with sertlanine it was horrible for me and i didn.t know it was its side effect..6yrs shedding hair everywhere i went. I stopped it when my psych confirmed and did 3prp treatments but after 6months you cannot see much difference. Also growing up does not help too
Such a backhanded compliment so it's weird you said that, anyway, she is pretty REGARDLESS of her symptoms, not even remotely related. Thanks for sharing @toriebrame3419

Great video! Did it work for you after quiting Wellbutrin? Thx.
I love Wellbutrin, nice to know many others are getting good results.
I've been on it for about three months, and it's been good for me. Especially after the first two weeks of taking it.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

You don’t need an antidepressant to quit cigarettes and you have to slowly taper off or you risk withdrawals. This video is dangerous.
This video is dangerous as it doesn't address the side effects it causes when taken long-term!

Hi Torie. Did you have any with issues with blood pressure/heart rate while on Wellbutrin?
Thanks for sharing! May I ask if you are on SR or XL? I’ve heard SR works better.
I was curious what that meant they just different release times I think I’m starting Monday my script is ready maybe I should just pick it up to see
