been on welbutrin XL for 4 days now. If I feel anything at all, it's very subtle. Well I can say that I have noticed a mild sore throat since day 1. This may be unrelated however. I notice some people stating "On the 1st day, so and so, then on the 2nd day, so and so" I was under the impression that it would take a minimum of 1 to 2 weeks before any FX were noticed. I guess everybodies different though. I was 1st on Lexapro, took it for 6 weeks and it did nothing at all for me. I might as well been taking Flintstone vitamins. So 4 days ago started with the Welbutrin XL after turning down the option to go on Paxil. After all the negative horror stories I've heard about Paxil, you couldn't make me try it. I've got high hopes for the Welbutrin XL, and hope I recieve the benefit of it's use and not the hair loss and other ill FX.

I have been on WellbutrinXL for about 3 months now. I started out with 150mg and am now taking 300mg. My anxiety (panic) attacks (whatever you want to call them) have gotten worse. I have them everyday, and take clonipin for them. I just started a new job, and can't afford to have anxiety attacks!! How do you explain this to your new boss?? I have also experienced some chest pains as well as jaw pain. Doesn't this sound like a heart attack!|?! Is there a reason the doctor didn't tell me about these side affects?? How long will the side effects last? Will all this eventurally go away?
