Hi there who ever posted a reply and sent me a private mail can you please do so again. I received an email saying a had a new private message as well as a reply to my post but when I checked it there was nothing there. I contacted medications.com and they said there was a problem with the system and all the info was lost from yesterday. So please if you sent these replies, reply again, thanks, Mya

I have been taking Wellbutrin 300mg XL for several years now for major depression.. I have found that my memory is increasingly getting worse. I have also started experiancing muscle twitches under my right eye and in my right knee??? Didn't think about them being caused my the medication, but maybe it is..
I had taken Effexor previous to the Wellbutrin and experianced worse memory problems with it than I do with Wellbutrin. With Effexor, I was like a zombie and couldn't remember what I had done 10 mins earlier.... I literally can not remember things that happened during the time that I took Effexor and can not remember some things prior to taking it...such as some of the milestones my kids took when they were little... things that I shouldn't have ever forgotten but honestly, I can't remember.
I've tried to stop taking anti-depressants but have not been able to... I'm thinking about trying to lower my dose or something. At the rate I'm going now, I won't know what my name is in another 10yrs.... and I'm only 37 right now!

Hi, I have been on antidepressents for over 9 years now and my dr. switched me to Wellbutrin 150 mg. about 6 months ago. Since starting it, my memory is so bad I sometimes forget where I am going, forget what I have just said a minute ago. I also notice more twitching in my eyes and arms. I worry because I know one of the main side effects of Wellbutrin can be seizures. I just wonder if there is any depression medication out there that actually works.

I am a 37 year old recent nursing school grad and it was awful some days in class because I found it hard to remember simple things or names of surgical instruments. My memory has been awful since being on the wellbutrin xl. That was another reason why I went off of it. Good luck

Oh my gosh! I have been taking Wellbutrin for about 2 months now. At first I had energy but now I feel doped up. My eyes feel weird and I have had this pressure headache every single day for over a week now. My eyes feel like they are going to pop out, and I feel like a vice is tightening around my forehead. I am so exhausted and I get real hot when I do anything and just want to lie down and rest. I am out of sorts. My gosh, that sounds like your symtoms!
