wellbutrin side effects

[christiess213]

Can anyone please tell me their experiences on wellbutrin. I was given it from doctor to help cravings since i quit smoking. I feel like this medication is making me more agitated. I also feel like my head is racing all the time. I never had this prior to starting meds. Does this wear off after a couple of weeks?

That medicine can be  evil. I was given the same to stop smoking and I started to cry like a school girl. The doctor was so disgusted with  me one would have thought I'd crapped on he carpet. So instead of the negligent biotch admitting that I had a bad side affect of the med, she doubled the dosage to twice the level and told me to see her again in 2 months. You know how many times a guy can kill himself in 2 months? Once. The pharmacist that was going to do the the refill left her station and come over to  me and said "Bogota, do you need a different doctor"? I asked why and she told me she had gone to DC and spoke out against this drug after two of her patience killed themselves. Needless to say I tole her to throw the script away and have yet to darken the door of the negligent idiot so called doctor who just didn't give a dam. Don't take it!

Wellbutrin is a stimulating antidepressant, and so can make people nervous.  Seems like an odd thing to use such a strong drug when you're not depressed.  Wellbutrin is known to help people who gain weight on antidepressants not do so, but those are depressed people, which you're not being treated for.  There must be a better way to detox yourself from this drug, tobacco, without just turning to another difficult drug, an antidepressant, particularly one that's so stimulating.  I'd look into lifestyle changes before drugs to see if you can work yourself out of it, such as exercise, meditation, or whatever else works for you.  Tobacco isn't the only drug with problems.
