Wellbutrin starter(Bupropion). Your experience/results with med?
I'm 9 1/2 weeks pregnant with my second baby and for about 2 months I've been having trouble breathing. I have to frequently take deep breaths and sometimes after taking several, I still do not feel like I got the refreshing breath of air I needed. I visited my family doctor and discussed the problems I was having. She mentioned that it could be Asthma or even allergies. She gave me a prescription for the generic form of Claritin (for the allergies) and told me to check with my OB about taking a Pulmonary Function Test (due to use of an inhaler during the test). My OB gave the go ahead and I took the test today. I'm really frustrated with how things went and I need some advice on what to do.First of all, she told me that the results of the PFT were inaccurate and explains that it is usually due to the lack of "coaching" from the test administrator (nurse). Then she goes on to say that she was able to get some results from the test and that I have Asthma. After telling me she is going to write me a prescription for an inhaler, I told her that I did not feel any better after taking the inhaler during the test. I asked if the prescription would be for the same thing, and she said it was. Then she goes on to say that if the inhaler didn't work I must be suffering from anxiety and tells me she is going to write me a prescription for Wellbutrin (but wants me to check with my OB on that one too). Now this one boggles my mind. I told her that I didn't really understand what anxiety was. As she was explaining it to me she started talking about how there is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of (okay???) and how stress can have this affect on people. Now let me tell you, I am probably one of the least stressed people in this world and I feel very blessed to have it that way. And, even when I am stressed I feel that I handle it very well. On top of that I'm a pretty easy going happy-go-lucky type of person. I am a stay at home mom with a 20 month old daughter and I have a pretty laid back life. If anything I would say that it's more boring than anything lol. Yes, I have one on the way, but I feel way more comfortable with this one having went through it before than I did with my first baby. I have a stable life and a great husband (most of the time lol) that loves me more than anyone in the world. I just don't understand where the anxiety would come in.To sum it all up I have a prescription for Claritin because the allergies are causing these problems (which she told me to continue taking but IMO hasn't made a difference), I have a prescription for an inhaler because it's Asthma that is causing these problems and now she wants to write me a script for Wellbutrin because it must be anxiety.I am the type of person that takes medicine as a last resort. I just don't like to do it especially during pregnancy. On top of that I put doctors in the same category as mechanics, I don't mean any disrespect but I just have a hard time trusting them. It seems like she gave me a prescription for everything it COULD be. But has no clue what it actually is. I don't know what to do. I'm probably not going to take the Wellbutrin though. From what I read online it's mainly prescribed for depression and to help stop smoking. I don't think pregnancy is the time to start taking a serious drug like this. I'll probably stop taking the Claritin because it seems to have made no difference.What do I do? How can I get to the bottom of my problem? Has anything like this happened to you?
Breathing problems only 9 1/2 weeks, three different diagnoses, please help (long story)?
My medicine now for depression (lexapro 10mg) isn't working anymore.& I've looked up the antidepressant Wellbutrin & I've seen that it's pretty common for young kids to take this. I'm 16 and I found kids as young as 6 and 9 taking it.I know the side affects vary depending on the person,but i know I didn't have bad side effects from other medications (serequel XR, & lexapro) Except slight dizziness and i would get light-headed at times.Anyone who takes this medication-do you find it effective? & would you recommend it for me?And about how long would i be on it, if my doctor decided it would be good for me.Feel free to ask me any questions also & do you know any sight where i could find a questionaire, do see if this really is something i should be looking into.thanks.I find it very hard to fall asleep at night too, would this help? And does this pill cause weight gain?
How do I know if i wellbutrin is an effective drug for me? who takes this?
I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 150mg for 4 weeks now and I honestly don't feel that anything has changed. I know that anti-depressants take time to work, but at what point is it obvious that the medicine is just not working and either a dosage increase is needed or a different medicine needs to be prescribed? How long does it usually take to feel its effects? My doctor told me that others will probably notice differences in my mood before I do, but according to my mom I am just as moody as before lol, and I still feel just as depressed. Should I give it a little more time? For people who have taken wellbutrin, what differences did you notice in yourself that made you know it was working?They are name brand. They are a small circle shape, white, and have WXL written over 150 on one side of the pill in pink letters. Before I got a presciption to get them from the pharmacy, my doctor gave me some trial ones in their original bottle, and the bottle was orange and white.
How long does Wellbutrin XL typically take to work for treating depression?
thank you for all your helpful answers. i'm sorry for the long post. this is the voice of depression. severe non-responsive depression. i take paxil and wellbutrin for my condition,and still i feel like im up to my neck in mud,paralyzed! things that were so easy to do before my mother died,like cleaning and feeding myself or even shopping for groceries feel like running the new york marathon with half a ton of rock tied to my waist. times i feel like a 1" inch high ANT staring up at the empire state building! days i just stay in bed not bothering to eat.we had the worst February ever! 30+ inches of snow .i starved myself because i just couldn't get out of bed and go get groceries at the corner store. if i could ide leave new york in a heartbeat,its less crowded in Pakistan than in brooklyn. im going to try and help myself.summer will be warm enough for me to try and find a job.im not picky about what i do for a living. ill pick carrots in the field for ten hours a day to earn a few dollars so i can get out of this apartment and bushwick and brooklyn! i dont know if ill find one,most likely i wount,but i must try as hard as i can.despite how i feel. im not i dumb person i have good computer skills despite only 3 yrs of high school. willing to work 7 days a week from sun up to sun down. that has to mean something to somebodymy mother use to say ''Phillip you cant live in fear'' she also use to say ''no matter what we do. fate / god will have his way'' sometimes you have to just stop being afraid,no matter what the outcome.weather it be a cardboard box under some train tracks or a one room shelter in the Bronxi dont imagine myself living like Paris Hilton or Brittany spears. just a crummy little apartment far far away from bushwick and a crummy little job to pay the bills to live whatever life i have left to me. im not a young man ill be 43 in october,and some nagging health problems. my hopes are to some day find a like minded woman to share my life with,but who knows,my prospects for living arent very good.but i still want you to pray for me,whatever your faith is. sometimes if god hears another voice other than my own begging for a speck of help,maybe he might listen?
Why GOD? I just don't understand anymore? Response Pls Read?
Im actually a pretty avid yahoo answers user, just wanted to make a new account so no one knew who I was. I suffer from severe depression, after the end of a long relationship, that meant the world to me. Since then my life has gone down hill. I'm failing my classes at school, and Im about to flunk out of my college program. My parents don't know that but they hate me anyways so Im sure they wouldn't be surprised. I hate my job its depressing as all hell. I see people suffering through life every day, their lives becoming useless and they live just for the sake of living, they've lost everyone and everything important to them. Ive seen many people die in my line of work, and it really has gotten to me, so much so that I had to leave one job, but the new one is not much better. Actually right now for example Im taking care of a 60 year old, she used to be the lunch supervisor at my highschool. She now has cancer. Today she told me about how scared she was for tomorrow because they were going to tell her if she could keep going to chemo and if she couldn't then she'll be dead within a few weeks. This isnt the only hard conversation Ive had with patients but it was since I was diagnosed with server depression. I hate my home life, I still live at home because I cant afford to live on my own, and my parents drive me crazy just like im sure I drive them crazy. Heres the funny thing, About 5 months ago after my girlfriend of 3 years left me I started seeking professional help after a huge breakdown. I was diagnosed with sever depression, and was prescribed a daily dose of 150mg of wellbutrin. For a while at the begining I had started to smoke, do drugs, do every possible self destructive thing possible. Then after I started the wellbutrin it stopped. I quit smoking, drugs the works. I started seeing a therapist once a week, and it was really helping. But now all of a sudden Im back to how I was... I feel just as depressed if not more. My doctor increased my dose to 300mg per day and prescribed ativan for anxiety. I've still been going to see my therapist. I want to be happy god I want to be happy so badly, I just cant seem to get ahead in life, every time something happens that I think is going well it just gives me the finger and says f*ck you! My therapist suggested I try dating again, I did, I was supposed to go on my first "first" date with someone in three years, she said yes and then blew me off, and said maybe next week. I just don't know what to do anymore, the meds don't seem to be helping anymore, or if they are then I must be way over being depressed. It's just if the meds wont help and the therapy isnt working then what else is there... I dont want to feel like this anymore, I dont want to be dependant on others. I want to feel happy and I cant cant figure out how. You know what I did a few hours ago, after coming home from being blown off from my date and having a end of life discussion with a patient today, I opened up a bottle of rum and had a flew glasses, then when everyone left my house, I turned off all the lights and layed infront of the tv, put a blanket over me got comfortable and grabbed a shot gun, not loaded. But I thought for a minute about doing it, I even closed my eyes and pulled the trigger a few times.Then I cried for an hour, and finally got up and threw up for 10 minutes, until I started throwing up blood. I almost wish I had the guts to do it but I know I never could, Im too much of a coward and I couldnt do that to my parents.I feel like I'm in hell, and theres no way out. Why cant I just catch a break, I just want to find someone who makes me feel happy again, who actually cares about me. I want to stop worrying about school, and I just want to be able to wake up again and be happy. I've been put on the meds and I talk to the therapists... I dont feel like going to get locked away, in some padded cell but I just dont know what to do with myself. I still wake up. I still do my daily routine, with a few happy moments here and there thanks to the meds, but I still hate it, everything about my life. I hate it. Funny thing is there probably wont be anyone who reads this, and thats ok because what difference would it make, just like what difference has all these meds done, what difference has trying to get out there, meet new people, try damn hard to do the best possible job, try at school just to continually fail. What good is it? Well my parents just got home, and they're already yelling about something. I guess life goes on right... Since this has to be a question then here it is, how do you turn something with no hope into something worth living?
What's wrong with me...?
Started Wellbutrin 100mg?Hi, I am taking Lexapro 5mg for OCD, and Depression, I've been on it now for about 4 weeks, and I feel so much better. I also have ADD, and was prescribed (Bupropion) Wellbutrin 100mg once a day, I was just wondering if anyone has taken this, and how long it took for it to work, my doctor also told me it would help me lose weight by decreasing my appetite, I've only been on it for two days. But my appetite is as it always is, and I don't feel any more energized or focused then I normally am. :/

Started Wellbutrin 100mg?
I have incurred a psychotic episode at 24 when I felt that my brother was doing subtle things to lower my self esteem; a flow through issue from when we were young where he did it blatantly with direct words and actions.I was given Seroquel and was told to take as much as I needed to get to sleep. 200mgs put me in slight sleep and I kept it there. But it was my directing of anger from my brother to "signs from God"; labeled delusions by practitioners who themselves have not experienced consciousness at that level. Anyway, I bet you've guessed that I think the signs from God are real and you're damn right. I see them every day. It just required connecting the dots and analyzing, or even reconciling, the momentarily stand out visual image with the subsequent or simultaneous thought in your brain. And you can even analyze two or more things that you see that are in some kind of relationship to each other and try to think how it applies to your life; almost trying to think like God via his signs so you can in essence communicate with him.This requires noticing and analyzing everything you see, which I do. Maybe this is sensory overload, the label doctors give it.BUTThe main point of this post is to determine whether I have paranoid schizophrenia or just a paranoid personality disorder.The only thing that makes the paranoia subside is Klonopin, and I broke the rules for the first time and took a fourth pill when I am only prescribed 3 per day. Literature says four per day is maximum.The three per day gets me through the day just fine, but it's when I get home is now the issue. The paranoia is tailing me home.And a lot of it is not unjustified. I work for the Fed Gov and a lot of information has to be secured. I'm sure you would conclude, just as I would, that this plays a major role in the level of paranoia I incur.Leaving your job at home is a lesson for a sane man. Someone like me, who definitely suffers from Manic Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive Compulsion Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder.I used to attribute the paranoia to the social anxiety, but with 150 mgs of Zoloft (FDA approved for treatment of SA) I feel no social anxiety but the paranoia persists.They're like thoughts in my head that cause me grief. At my most defeatists moments, I'm no better than a maggot. The keyword is "loser" which resonates and causes me to feel sub par in relation to my coworkers/peers. I hold myself responsible to be equal with my peers, which is a mistake because I automatically assume that my peers are perfect in which they are not. They are just better at maintaining a poker face (something learned in High School which I missed out due to home school).I have a college degree and this mental debilitation occurred directly after graduating. Unemployed, first my head burned as if I blew it out. I believe I exceeded limitations that were strong. Since thinking hurts ten times more than the average man, I was due for a tune up or I would have probably become "un-wanting" of life.I'm on five medicines.PER DAY:Klonopin (3 mgs)Adderall (60 mgs)Wellbutrin (300 mgs)Seroquel (300 mgs at night)Zoloft (150 mgs)What is a better medicine for this paranoia that I suffer from; which mimics social anxiety. The giggles, audible smirks, random laughing, makes me CRAZY. I put on head phones today and was able to make it without primarily the drugs. Silence makes me CRAZY! It's an interrogation technique for a reason; a tortuous one for me.Long Post I know. But what do you think? Doctors, assistants, common sufferers, average answerer?Every mistake lures this thinking into play. I don't know if Schizophrenic people actually hear auditory sounds or speech or that they over legitimize the random ( negative or positive) thoughts constantly occurring in their chaotic mind.Though, if I had to guess, it would definitely be auditory, where you can hear it since I had one and it sounded like a huge bullet train stopped on a dime in front of my ear causing the worst screeching imaginable. This and when I overdid amphetamine with (Benadryl), a HUGE mistake becase the Benadryl potentiatea the amphetamine (adderall), and I experinced visual delusions such as the room sliding downwards; sorta like not being able to stabilize your sight into one point.I appreciate your quick replies, as I needed them really badly. I wear a cross around my neck in order to remember who my Father is. I don't believe that living in a Fantasy that constricts you from harming man in any fashion can be dangerous to those around me. People's normal egos are a trigger, but I try to render until deceased. But darkness may override when someone is being unreasonable post my submission. I am still not dangerous then. I'm not a patient who kills his son because God told him so. Because my God as visioned by Jesus Christ would never state. Any situation that I become psychotic and dangerous is a situation in which I needed to become psychotic and dangerous. I am a protector and not a harmer. This has been the truth for the entirety of my life. I've been a sufferer rather than an inflicter. I know what sorrow feels like and I know what hollowness feels like. Zoloft was the first correct Rx that I was put on and the others followed at my bequest based on research.The medications help me tremendously. I used to be an insomniac and the Seroquel is a great sedative. More powerful than Valium or Klonopin. If I am psychotic, 300 mgs probably isn't enough, since I hear Seroquel only works as an anti-psychotic at over 400 mgs. But it replenishes me for the next day which is all I require. I'll up it to 450 after my pdoc writes me 3 mo Rx to avoid high cost.The Klonopin is absolutely necessary for work. I can not function with paranoia running amuck in my mind. This is a lesson learned during my last job. It was SO bad. SO!Adderall is the only drug that is going to make me sit still which is a requirement for a grunt accountant such as myself.Wellbutrin, raises the floor for depression to above normal levels where I feel numb. There is no tension, relief, then pleasure activity within me anymore. If it is, it is minuscule. Zoloft is the first drug that worked for me, after taking that crap Celexa, Lexapro, and the infamous sugar pill Buspar.
Paranoid Schizophrenia, Paranoid Personality Disorder? *LONG POST*?
I went to the doctor last week because I have been soooooo exhausted for the last few months. He thought that it was my thyroid and ordered blood work. I had the blood work done and everything came back great. I have never had any trouble with depression in my live. I did have post partum depression for about 2 weeks after my daughter was born, but that was it. She is 12 months now, so that was quite a while ago. I think my doctor is just trying to do a process of elimination. What are the side effects of the medicine? How long did it take for it to take effect? Has anyone had depression and not known it? I would appreciate your help with this.The doctor did complete blood work. Everything came back great. I do exercise about 3 times a week for about 30 min each time. I would like to do more, but it is hard with a 12 month old! She just loves to help mommy do her exercises :o)I have been having lots of trouble with my weight for the last few months. I have always been a pretty healthy eater, but I have been really trying hard since I have been feeling bad. I know that food can be a source of health problems. Food is not the issue here.
Has anyone had depression and not known it? Doctor prescribed Wellbutrin?
Is it 10 or 20 mgs? I'm on Paxil for depression and generalized anxiety disorder, but after being on a high dose for so long I'm getting tired of it and I want to see if a lower dosage will have the same effect. I was on 60mgs for a long time and despite the low libido I didn't care because it really worked well plus I hadn't been sexually active in a year, but last week I asked him if he could lower it to 40mgs. I've heard that doctors sometimes give men low doses of it because it helps with premature ejaculation so I was thinking about telling my doctor to lower the dosage even further, down to 20 because I now have a girlfriend and I want to be able to satisfy her. Do you think that 20 would be enough to control my anxiety and depression and to at the same time give me the benefit of lasting longer? I also take 300mgs of Bupropion (Wellbutrin) which helps a lot with depression and the sexual side effects of the Paxil.
