my bupropion (Wellbutrin) was prescribed to augment the Rexulti I was on and relieve some of its side effects. Problem is, I'm maxxed out on dosage, 450mg/daily, and I think my system is beginning to show signs of too high levels in various ways including both my depression and anxiety.

Have you or others had success with Wellbutrin for depression?
While the search results don't include specific member experiences with Wellbutrin, it's worth knowing that antidepressant responses vary significantly from person to person. What works well for one person may affect another differently.
Many MyDepressionTeam members have found that finding the right medication often involves some trial and adjustment. Some people notice improvements fairly quickly, while others need time to see benefits or may need to try different options.
Things to keep in mind:
- Give it time - most antidepressants take several weeks to show their full effect
- Track any side effects and discuss them with your doctor
- Don't stop taking it suddenly without medical guidance
- Be patient with yourself during the adjustment period
If you're concerned about side effects or whether it's working, stay in close contact with your healthcare provider. They can help adjust your dose or explore other options if needed.
You might want to post about your experience on MyDepressionTeam to connect with members who have taken Wellbutrin - hearing from others who understand can be really helpful during this time.

I've been on Zoloft & Wellbutrin for years. I was on Zoloft first then they also put me on Wellbutrin because I kept crying. The Wellbutrin helped me alot and one plus is that it doesn't cause weight gain. It is also covered 100% on my health plan.

Be careful on it. If you start to feel angry talk to your doctor immediately. I had a very bad reaction to this medication. Good luck
