I have been taking Wellbutrin 200mg daily for about 2 weeks. I have taken prozac, which made me very violent, I've taken paxil and quit taking it when I got pregnant, and I've taken Zoloft, which worked wonderfully for me. Then, there is the Wellbutrin. When I first started it, I was tired and out-of-it. I figured I would give it a few days for my body to adjust. Now, I am tired, out-of-it, restless, annoyed at everyone, don't want to be touched, nervous, scared, emotional roller coaster, constant headache, muscle aches, stomach upset, smells are very pronounced, and to top it off, I thought I could quit smoking....but turns out I want to smoke more, however, they taste like crap, and smell even worse! I think I am going back to the doctor to switch back to zoloft. Wish I would have never started taking Wellbutrin!

I'm on 75 mg Wellbutrin for 1 week after being taken off Effexor 75 mg for 1 month after being taken off of Zoloft 150 mg for 15 years. Have been battling thyroid, weight and other issues for last year (after I quit smoking with Chantix). MD and I thought it was time to come off Zoloft. Effexor was horrid! Blood pressure through the roof, wight gain continuing to go up and stayed annoyed with anyone breathing. Wellbutrin after only 6 days........I'm having MAJOR panic attacks, nauseating headaches, and to quote you......Now, I am tired, out-of-it, restless, annoyed at everyone, don't want to be touched, nervous, scared, emotional roller coaster, constant headache, muscle aches, stomach upset, smells are very pronounced - that's my life right now!! I'm wondering if I should have stopped the zoloft in the 1st place!!!

I was on Zoloft 40 mg then switched to Celexa 40 mg for anxiety. The Celexa made me so tired. I was fine other wise. I couldn't stand the tiredness. I would sleep all day given the chance. None of these helped the weight gain. Dr put me on 100 mg of WB for one week today I am supposed to start taking it twice a day so thats 200 mg a day. I feel fine other then the light head/ dizzy spells. If I get up to fast. I also feel at times I m on a roll boat. Haven't really had the upset stomach or anything. I have trouble falling asleep but stay asleep once I do and that was my problem before taking this was insomnia. Does the dizzy feeling go away? I also feel out of it at times which a weird experience. I know it takes about a month for your body to even on on this stuff. When I started taking Zoloft I felt high as a kite on it. I m giving it a chance but its kinda scary and my husband and his family are scared of this medicine so they are watching me closely.
