I have been on Wellbutrin for a couple of years & it has been a life saver. But it is very possible my hair loss is due to it. I have always had a full head of hair & no hair loss in my family at all. I'm also experiencing hearing loss but don't know if this is due to the Wellbutrin as my Father & sister have had hearing loss. My doctor intends to lower my dosage next month & I am going to ask him if air loss is a side effect.

Ok, with all psych drugs, you're a damed zombie for the first 6-8 weeks. I know that & am willing to accept a little nausea, being a box of rocks mentally, and not being able to find my shoes for the first 6-8 weeks. If things continue after that point in time, I drop the med. Well, I dropped wellbutrin, and this is why:
The nausea never stopped. In fact, it increased.
The first few days, I thought it was just stomach upset. No big. Take with milk & bread. We all know that trick, right? But, it got worse. Days later, I started dry heaving on the way to class. This became a regular thing- walking caused nausea. Then it got even worse, standing still or sitting started to feel like I was on a tiny rowboat in a storm on the high seas. Extreme nausea, frequent dry heaving, unable to keep down food or water, disorientation (literally severe motion sickness on dry land). After dropping 15lbs & becoming dehydrated, I gave up for my own physical safety. I stopped taking the stuff. It took about a month to recover from the stuff.
Now, I have friends that wellbutrin has been a godsend for. But, this stuff really messed with me. So, be careful when taking it. Give it a fair shot. But, know thy body.

Just switched to WB (3 wks) after 4 years on Lexapro. I'm 44 yr. old mom of 10 & 13 yr old and had my tubes tied 9 years ago. My period is now late but two at home pregnancy tests have been negative. Any ladies out there suffering from menstruation issues like this?

I've been on Wellbutrin XL 300mg for 3 days and I've had a splitting headache for 3 days. The evening of the second day came the nausea and crying and disorientation. Maybe the crying is not a side effect as I was doing that before I started the meds. All I want to know is can I take something for the headaches while taking the Wellbutrin. Does anyone know of anything. I guess I should call my doctor.

I have been on Wellbutrin XL for 1 week now and after the severe nausea and diarrhea I feel pretty good. No panic attacks so far. Although the upset stomach is still in full effect. Haven't quit smoking yet or noticed any weight loss. When should I expect it to kick in on the not smoking and weight loss

My sun has suffered from three years of age with stomach pain and discomfort uppon eating he is now 12 years old. We have seen many doctors all of whom are very vague.

I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...

Weaning off Lexapro for about 2 months now after taking it for 3 years. Went to every other day with a full pill, now down to every other day with 1/2 pill. I have experienced several unpleasant side effects. Most unusual, my breasts are very sore and barely touching them is painful. Anyone else experiencing this problem as well? How long will this last? Please let me know that I'm not the only one, I haven't read about this side effect.
