I have been on wellbutrin for about 4-5 years.I thought it was a ...

yes,exactly,i feel the same way,but you know,unfortunely i was so young to suffer all of these symptoms,i'm a university student,only 19,i can't even remember what i have read or watched in the morning and i dont't know what's going on with me,it's so painful...can anyone help me out?~

I want to get off it, but I am afraid. I, too, have had memory loss, but I also am crazy sad without drugs. Going to try acupuncture to ease me to sobriety.

This is EXACTLY what is happening to me. I had read that Wellbutrin is associated with mild memory loss, but I was seeing it effect my daily activity. I am forgetting names, even my stepsons recently. I thought it was a social anxiety issue... of being put on the spot when asked a name. My job requires remembering many names, so I am actually avoiding people to avoid the situation. I have worried I had early onset alzheimers. (I'm 52) Co-workers, family and friends have noticed...Please tell me any replacement med anyone has good luck with...I see a new doc in March. I have been so stable these last 5 years. I hate the thought of any med changes, but cannot deal with the memory issue.

I too have the EXACT same problems, however I am only 40 years old and am terrified that my memory is too far gone. Is there anything that you have found that helps with both memory and anxiety?

I am so thankful to all of you who have posted your thoughts. It's because of you that I was able to FINALLY figure out what was wrong with me. I was having the EXACT same problems, couldn't remember anything at age 40! I talked to my mom about it and she suggested that I see an Accupuncturist, so reluctantly I did. I have been off of ALL of my medications for over 3 months now and feel absolutely wonderful!!! When I first saw the Accupunturist she told me that I would have to ween myself off of all medications in order to see if the treatment was helpful, otherwise the medications would just mask it. And so I told my doctors who were very unhappy with me, but I just had to give it a try. And THANK GOD I did!!! I hope this will help others who may be suffering from the same problems. I was taking medications for migraines as well as anxiety and now I am Drug FREE!!!

After reading these disturbing posts about Wellbutrin I decided to see an accupuncturist (reluctantly) and it has been 3 months now and I am off of ALL of my medications including 3 others for my migraines and I am doing GREAT! I hope those of you who read this will at least give it a try, it takes a little while but I am soooo grateful that I held in there because I have never been happier. One thing I must say tho, is that I still have some trouble with my memory but nothing anywhere near as bad as it used to be. It must be permanent damage from the Wellbutrin. I will NEVER take meds again!!!! Thank God for Accupunture!!!
