Ok, with all psych drugs, you're a damed zombie for the first 6-8 weeks. I know that & am willing to accept a little nausea, being a box of rocks mentally, and not being able to find my shoes for the first 6-8 weeks. If things continue after that point in time, I drop the med. Well, I dropped wellbutrin, and this is why: The nausea never stopped. In fact, it increased. The first few days, I thought it was just stomach upset. No big. Take with milk & bread. We all know that trick, right? But, it got worse. Days later, I started dry heaving on the way to class. This became a regular thing- walking caused nausea. Then it got even worse, standing still or sitting started to feel like I was on a tiny rowboat in a storm on the high seas. Extreme nausea, frequent dry heaving, unable to keep down food or water, disorientation (literally severe motion sickness on dry land). After dropping 15lbs & becoming dehydrated, I gave up for my own physical safety. I stopped taking the stuff. It took about a month to recover from the stuff. Now, I have friends that wellbutrin has been a godsend for. But, this stuff really messed with me. So, be careful when taking it. Give it a fair shot. But, know thy body.
