I can agree with so many of you who've shared your experiences - ...

I have been taking this med for over 6 years. I also feel "fuzzy' at times and lost for the correct words to finish a sentence! In meetings while speaking I draw a blank, as if my mouth is disconected from my brain I have the correct though but cannot get it out. Scary. My worst side effect is unbelievable hot flashes.....They are unbearable latley.... anyone feel the same?

I am having similar problems with WB. I have been taking 300mg of generic wellbutrin XL for about 2 years. I recently started doing some research on side effects because I always feel dazed and out of it. It never feel like I am awake—it’s like I am in a constant fog. I consistently feel groggy, can never think of the correct words to say and have trouble concentrating on even mindless tasks. I spoke to my doctor and he said that I can go off of it; that sometimes antidepressants can have these types of effects on a person. How long will it take for the brain fog to go away? I really hope that these are symptoms from the medication and not something else because I don’t want to live like this anymore. I’ve began to taper down—I’m supposed to take 150 mg for a week and then go off of it.

I'm so sick of being dazed and confused!!

Like many people on this site, I too have had weird side effects. My hair is thining, my heart sometimes skips beats, I have strange, vivid dreams and recently, I have had my hands itch for no good reason. I was prescribed XL to quit smoking and started in Dec 2008 with a generic. I started out with 150 and moved to 300mg a day - I felt great, no side effects until Feb. However, I have not quit smoking although I have seriously cut down and the desire to smoke is not as great as it once was. This week I went to pick up my refill and noticed the pills were different. I learned that the pharmacy was now carrying a different generic. This made me uneasy, so I did a little research on this new pill. I am glad I did - I made the pharmacy replace this generic with the real thing. That may have been a mistake - I am now very agitated (did not happen with generic), have racing heartbeats and headaches. I am also not sleeping. Between the hair loss, insomnia and racing heart, I think I would rather smoke!
