i have been on W 150xl now for 3 days. I have had UNREAL side effects for the short period. The first day - within 30 minutes I started having racing heartbeats. I could literally SEE my chest thumping. It was so horrible I had to lay down with my feet up for around 10 hours. I couldn't even move without feeling like I would pass out. I felt very nauseated but didn't throw up. Since then, I am struggling with being groggy and can hardly stay awake at all. I AM having very interesting dreams - so I guess if I have to be asleep all the time, at least the dreams are good. Needless to say - I am STOPPING this drug. I do tend to have a tendency to be extremely sensitive to drugs - so have done well with lower dosages of other things in the past. Prior I have been on zoloft for the last 6 years off and on for depression. i have done well on Zoloft(had reactions to generic so went with actual zoloft) at 25mg or 50mg, but have been frustrated that it killed my sex drive completely and I literally can't orgasm. This was the reason for the switch to Wellbuterin, and although I feel some sex drive coming back- it just isn't worth it. I will be going back into my doctor and going back on Zoloft. The wellbuterin has been a nightmare so far and I am NOT willing to tough it out just to have decent sex. G. in WA

It's worth trying acupuncture. I am going to do so to get off Wellbutrin and to help with my moods.
