      Cora From UA-cam interesting to me that you got off Wellbutrin and are doing well on Prozac. Good for you! ❤️ it feels amazing to really feel the medication working. Prozac was the first antidepressant I ever took and it didn’t do anything for me. Currently on Lexapro and Wellbutrin and I’m doing alright. I’m watching Wellbutrin videos to see if I should ask to increase it... i take both of these because my depression and anxiety go hand in hand as well. Thank you for the video! Really informational and gives me a good idea of what I should ask my doctor about.

    My advice to someone with any mental illness is to quit drinking. No mental health medicine plays well with alcohol and it is dangerous game. Cutting back is not enough you should not be drinking especially with depression!

      I used to drink heavily to escape some of those sad feelings (which of course made it worse the next day so id drink again). So far its been a week of 150mg and the plan is to work up to 450 by the end of the month (I tried this before but wasn’t consistent). Its been a week since I have had a drink and its been hard but I’m both feet in this time. Have been worried about decreased libido and weight loss (i love food lol).Crossing my fingers for positive results!

    Thank you for your courage and the video. I've taken Wellbutrin for almost 10 yrs now and I've learned how to cope with the anxiety. I did take the generic Prozac at one time. I think that was the best for me. I loved it. The reason I got off of the Prozac and got on Wellbutrin was because of the sexual side effects. I was young and in a serious relationship and later on got married and that just wasn't going to work out :) But now things are different. I am starting allergy testing and I will be taking flying lessons. Wellbutrin will trigger a false positive on allegy testing and the FAA will not authorize your medical if you take Wellbutrin.

    Wellbutrin almost killed me people ! So surprised this stuff seems to
    work well for so many people. After having experienced daily nausea,
    strong headaches and persisting nightmares...(didn't experience insomnia
    like most people but had horrible, insane dreams that wouldn't allow a
    single minute of restful sleep ). Also had horrible mood swings with
    nervous laughter mixed with feelings of sadness and tears that I
    couldn't control specially in the evening. On top of this my appetite
    increased considerably, especially for sweet snacks. I woke up every
    night in wet pajamas, feeling SO HOT. Was covered in sweat and woke up
    to take cold showers. I craved ice-cream and cold drinks all the time.
    Once I woke up in the middle of the night and because I didn't have
    anything sweet in the fridge I started chewing ice cubes. Happy to hear it works for some people but based on my experience this stuff is VERY DANGEROUS.

    I'm actually on the highest dose of 450mg mainly for ADD but I think it helps with depression too. I honestly don't really notice anything from the medicine. one thing I have noticed is I have more endurance when I do physical training, since I am in the military. I notice that I can workout hard for an hour, and I don't get mentally exhausted. I notice more positive effects since I quit alcohol. I think alcohol greatly reduces the effectiveness of the medicine. I noticed since I quit booze that I have less anxiety!

    Wellbutrin was a godsend for me the past 3 months, it gave me a life back, I lost 30 pounds, I was social again, took up photography and traveling... however, I suffered with memory loss to the point that i couldn't remember where I was going while driving, or people's names, and reading a book/studying -forget it, I couldn't retain any info. Also hair loss was big...So frustrating! I had to get off of it, been 10 days off and I've gained 5 pounds, I'm so exhausted, had flu like symptoms, and just not as interested in things. But my mental clarity is a little better, nowhere near as sharp as I was before....

Nightly regimen for Insomnia is Trazodone 150mg and 1- 2mg Alprazolam . They used to used to also have me on Amitryptilline for sleep as well. I've gotten so sick of all the meds I've been really studying homeopathy and plant medicine. If you have trouble sleeping from antidepressants has your game of life, grab the sublingual melts under tongue melatonin. Highly effective, and I've tried every thing OTC for sleep. As far as hair loss, the combination of an undiagnosed underactive thyroid can cause Depression, Anxiety & Mad Hair Loss. I'd def get checked for that, or if you have, discuss those side effects with yr Docs 💓

    Hello, you mentioned switching to 300mg as that dose is good for Adhd - I have been trying different medications and dosages for that the past year to find my right combo. Does bupropion seem to help you for this? I'm on 150mg for a week now, plus Adderall xr 15mg and it's the best combo I've tried yet. Started bupropion for my social anxiety, and only a week in now, I've noticed I'm a lot less self aware at work and more clear headed. Anyways, sorry for long post, and ty!

    I've been on this drug for around 4 weeks. I feel just as depressed, if not more so, than before I started taking it. It's possible that the antidepressive effects haven't kicked in yet, but at this point that's beside the point.
    The problem is this stuff has cranked my anxiety to unreal levels. Everything worries or irritates me. My blood pressure stays high. I seem to get a little relief at night, then it's back into hell first thing next morning.

      The medicine also doesn't really have a positive effect on my mood swings and anxiety.. I could deal with all that if it actually did something, but its been nearly 3 weeks now. I'm beginning to wonder if its ever going to actually do something, or just cause annoying side-effects :P
