Hello,
I am so happy to find these posts. I started the generic Wellbutrin SR 100 MG in the morning about four months ago. She wanted me to increase my dose but there is no way I can handle it. I am also on Zoloft 50 mg for panic attacks. She added the wellbutrin to give me more energy and help with my low sex drive. It gives me lots of energy but I can not have caffeine or much sugar when I am taking it or I have a panic attacks. Also I am very short of breath, I thought this was just my anxiety but after reading all the other posts I am beginning to wonder if it is the wellbutrin. My sex life is a little better but not much, of course I am taking a very low dose. About a week after I started taking it, my back and neck was killing me. I went for a massage and she said I had knots all over my back and neck, this four months ago, I kept getting massages and they just keep getting bigger and will not go away! I am almost certain the wellbutrin is making me tense and causing these. I decided to call my doctor today and ask to go off of it.
What is funny is I was on it a few years back but it was Wellbutrin XL not generic. It was wonderful! I had the best sex life, I had so much energy and no side effects.
I just wanted to share my story.

Hey Everyone...
I was really just reading... but it's all just to familiar. And now I'm questioning some things I thought were just stress or whatever.
Headaches, always tired no matter what... pain.... crazy crying episodes...
I know everyone has mentioned headaches... but is it in a certain spot or go into the ears ever? I had sever headaches for like two weeks and they would always be around the back of my head and in my ear. And reading all of this, I just realized that it started a couple days after getting the mirena put in... And although my ears have stopped hurting I still get headaches at least once a day.
Has anyone just felt achy too? Like I've got the always tired feeling and EVERYTHING hurts. But I am always achy on top of it... Like my body just went through a rigorous workout or I just got over the flu... only neither has happened.
And I know what you mean about sex drives! I haven't always had the best sex drive, but it was certainly a lot larger than it has been in the last month. (I got mirena put in just over a month ago) The sex drive thing just seems to get worse. Is it just not there for you guys or do you have the feeling but go dry anyway? That's what I keep doing. I want my husband so bad, but right in the middle of everything I'll go completely dry... And then of course he'll freak like it's his fault or like he really thinks I'm not interested.... And if we do manage to get further it hurts so bad I'm almost in tears... but I can't bare to tell him because the lights are out and I just want him to be able to finish and have faith in me again.
I thought mirena would be great because I have two kids already and would be scared to death about getting pregnant again throughout having sex instead of enjoying it. Now I'd do just about to be able to share that special time with my husband again.
When I was pregnant with my daughter I would cry over anything. From an argument with my husband to the sappiest of sappy movie scenes.... When I'm not pregnant I rarely cry. For the last week or so I've had tears welling up a couple times. It's driving me nuts. I don't think that I act much different other than that though... And no one has really noticed that I know of.
Are these like the symptoms you ladies are experiencing?
