Budeprion and drugs

WOW. 1st of all i must say if u r about 2 take budeprion, DON'T!!!! EVER!!!! i read these posts b4 i took it, i read all about the side effects of this drug and didn't take it as seriously as i should have. i figured i would give this drug a chance because my depression was so bad nothing at all helped, ever, and i figured i had nothing 2 lose. well, i lost my f***king mind. i am hundreds of times worse than i was b4, i am insanely irritable, angry, self destructive, depressed, i feel like a monster. i have been taking it 4 2 weeks, and i am very dizzy all the time, i feel like i am losing my vision. everything is really blurry and i swear it feels like i am going blind and i cant see very well at all.

i cant believe i did this 2 myself by taking this awful drug. whoever said it was way better than no drugs was so right... my depression was bad b4 but this is out of control!!! its f***king amazing.... i am whacked out beyond belief and so much worse off... soooooo much worse.... i have the same things running thru my head over and over and over and over all day!! and it is all awful!!!! i was NEVER EVER EVER this bad, nowhere near this bad.... now i am completely psychotic and utterly insane and i feel dizzy, drunk, and i cant see. i feel awful. i am so rattled up... if u want a fair warning from a real person, here is my testimonial, NEVER EVER touch this disgusting stuff. my god... how in the hell do ppl get away with giving ppl this crazy shit???? seriously????? sadly... i know no1 will ever give me an honest answer 2 that question... there isn't one!!!!! =(

I, Too, Took Wellbutrin last year and it did me good--was even helping me quit smoking (it is same drug as Zyban). Then I discontinued for awhile and this year I started back. drugstore gave me generic budeprion. I didn't think anything about it since all my other drugs are generic, too.
I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THESE POSTINGS!!!!!
I have been crying at any little thing--even dog food commercials. i have been drooling at times. My back hurts worse.I have fallen several times.I told my Dr and he said that my depression was just getting worse and upped the dosage on another couple of antidepressants I take. No help.
My bet is that some pharmacy-dude is making a killing on this new generic which he probably sells in cahoots with the FDA. I don't trust the gov't. I used to work for them before I retired on disability.
I know how they work behind the scenes. They cover stuff up so well, you could never prove anything like this.
ANYWAY, thanks to all who posted. I checked and I can get Wellbutrin for only $5 more...
My best to all and good luck!!!

Wellbutrin saved my life! I was a complete wreck with mood swings and depression and after about 4-6 weeks on Wellbutrin, I was a NORMAL person again! That was 8 years ago. Sometime last year I switched to Budeprion because the Wellbutrin price got out of control. I wanted to write in since I have been on these medications for such a long time and honestly I have to say I have had little to no side effects. Like I said, these drugs saved my life. I expect I will be on them forever unless something changes because I have never been better in my life. I feel for all of you that have had bad side effects, maybe try a different medication? All meds are not right for everyone. My sister takes prosac and she has a lot of problems with it and I keep telling her to switch to Wellbutrin or Generic but then again, who knows? Maybe it won't be right for her.

Anyway, again I did want to post because most posts are negative and I have had absolutely no problems at all - I feel the best I've ever felt, even after taking it long term. :) Good luck to all!
