Wellbutrin
Wellbutrin
A side effect says worsening of depression. I started taking Wellbutrin 3 days ago and I have been feeling really down Have been tearful, irritable and generally heavy. Is this normal when you start it?
Hey JenniferMakings,
I have been on Wellbutrin for a little while now. I was placed on it earlier in the year, but I decided to come off of it due to severe fatigue I was having in the daytime. I have started taking it again within the last month at night (which I was told not to do because it could cause insomnia), but I take it at night and it helps me sleep. If you just started taking it three days ago, it may not have had enough time to get fully into your system yet. Usually antidepressants can take up to 3-4 weeks to start working and for you to get the full benefit from them, they are generally not fast acting from what I've heard and experienced. But if it does keep getting worse, please contact your doctor and tell him/her of your depression. If you have any other questions about Wellbutrin or any other medication, don't hesitate to contact me @A MyDepressionTeam Member, I am routing for you JenniferMakings!

@wellbutrin, I started taking wellbutrin about a week ago. I was on it many years ago, and it worked pretty well. My experience with most anti-depressants (including wellbutrin) is that it takes 2 to 4 weeks for it to reach the therapeutic dose/level. I do remember getting off to a slow start with it. Eventually the depression faded, but it was so subtly, that someone else pointed it out to me. I was about one month into it, when someone told me I must be feeling better, because I was going outside and spending more time out there. I realized at that moment, that the depression had lifted! It does seem like the depression worsens a bit after I make the decision to fight it. Once I begin making progress, it seems to get better. I hope that makes sense, lol.
Wellbutrin can make you weepy and quick to cry. I am on it and I cry at almost everything. I think I need to change my medications as this one is not working
Hi @A MyDepressionTeam Member. Sorry to hear that
I'm writing my KZN Province exam tomorrow morning. So I am pretty nervous about doing well
Have a good evening and week ahead
