Wellbutrin. Negative Effects For Anyone Else!?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Not telling

Hi. I'm really needing support right now Has anyone here had a really negative effect(s) on Wellbutrin ER? I'm experiencing weight gain, crying ( I am not someone that cries unless I'm angry or severely depressed). I feel empty, like I'm nothing. The first part of the year I was doing well, lost weight, cut bad food out of my diet. But ever since my third month on this I've gone back to eating too much and then guilt and I relapsed back into sh after three months without it. I've gone off of… read more

Don’t give up ! Ask your doc about some other types. Have you tried trintellix? This works for me. Also I realized that I do need to live with some side effects. I just find the pill that I can tolerate the most which also helps me cope.
Good luck 🤞

I can relate to being chubby and fat. Because of the medications I have to take in order to function every day I have put on about 25 pounds. I’ve tried exercising, dieting and now I’m on a weight loss pill which comes with its own side effects! In this society that focuses so much on being thin I find it very depressing that I cannot get to a weight I consider a thin person’s weight. I now accept that I will always be chubby or overweight. But without the pills I don’t want to do anything which is worse. Stimulants do help me but they make me manic. I do exercise every day although my stamina is not what it used to be which is also depressing.
I’m sorry this is so long and off topic. Wellbutrin will cause some agitation but I’m on a low dose.

I've tried all kinds of antidepressants and never had a bad reaction except from Prozac. Which made me shake like crazy and I couldn't eat anything. Now I'm on cipralex and mirtzapine and it's not too bad.
