I'm coming to accept that I am suffering from severe depression and anxiety. Tired of trying to be strong and suppress it. I'm exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally. Alcohol has become my escape and with that only comes problems and more depression. Seeing this video gives me hope. I'm going to talk with my dr about getting on this drug or something similar to it

Thank you for these videos with personal experience. 54yo and on a med like this for the first time. It has been so very helpful

You know what’s interesting? Your thumbnail smile changed from your first week to here. You looked like you forced your smile in the first week, then had a nice smile, and in this video a happier smile. I hope you’re doing well.

I love Wellburtin. Feels much smoother and more natural than SSRI to me, mood/feelings on SSRI felt kinda fake. With Sertralin i had a shitload of sideffects, not a single one with Bupropion. I just take 150mg.

I'm glad to hear that Wellbutrin is working so well for you Garrett, thanks for another great video (: stay healthy and safe my friend ✌️

I am taking 300 mg Wellbutrin xl and it the only antidepressant that works on me and I am going to stay on it makes me really upbeat. Thanks for the video.

One week in with wellbutrin and my anxiety is fleeing!

I’m also taking 450mg of Welbrutin and the way you are describing your experience is so on point!

Gives me hope to see you doing well!

Why doesn’t anybody post the dosage that they are taking? With welbutrin, you only have two options that are commonly prescribed which is 150 and 300. If somebody just started taking 300 mg they may be getting all these side effects that they would not at the 150. So maybe in the videos, we could post the milligram or gram amount

I just bumped to 300 mg and it makes me soooo tired for a few hours, then wide awake and can’t sleep. Then crash from sleep deprivation. Hoping it gets better

I been depressed and lots of anxiety the doc gave me this to try

Great video and explanation. I’ve been looking for the right medication for over a decade for my severe anxiety (diagnosed GAD + SAD). SSRIs and buspar never helped, Klonopin helped a ton but was hell to taper off of, and for the last year I’ve been on low dose Gabapentin + propranolol as needed. This last combo helps but it still wasn’t enough, so my doctor asked if I’d like to try Wellbutrin, as I mentioned how much I struggled with the side effects of SSRIs. I’m only 3 days in, currently taking 75mg of the instant release twice daily. I find a get a little anxiety between the 1-3 hour mark after dosing but so far so good on the side effects. Will update this in the future with my results. For other out there experiencing heavy side effects, I’ve found dozens of user reports stating that had a much better experience with the instant release, versus the SR or XL variants. Of course it will vary from person to person, but could be worth investigating before giving up on this very unique med!

I started on 150mg for a month and now 300mg I’ve been on for about 4 days now. I feel jittery and exhausted...still waiting for it to work, still feel crappy lol

2 weeks and my anxiety is through the roof.. decided to stick with it.take it for ADHD and anxiety .. garette I’ll stick with it for 2 months and see..

I just started bupropion to help with the seasonal affective disorder, clinical depression and binge eating disorder.

Thanks for posting . I’m on day 2 and the anxiety is substantial. I’m only starting on 75mg too. Do you avoid caffeine on this? I’m glad the anxiety seems to level out as you say because I just tried Tricylics and the side effects were too unpleasant.

Buproprion is great if you can find a generic that has an extended release tablet that works as well as the name brand. Some generics have been found to not work as well because their delayed release mechanism doesn’t work as well. Name brand Wellbutrin is very expensive in US, $1,500 for a 30-day supply.

Very happy to hear Wellbutrin has been good for you. Lexapro has been good for me. But, my anxiety has been skyrocketing. Thinking of switching to something else...

I appreciate this video 🙏 I struggle with the same thing every year and I finally decided to try medication. I started Wellbutrin 150mg a week ago and wanted to research how it's worked for others.

I'm currently on 20mg of fluoxetine and my doc wants to add Wellbutrin to the mix. How has Wellbutrin affected sexual function? This has been the most frustrating part of Prozac.

I heard this is now being prescribed for substance abuse

I have been taking Wellbutrin 150 xl for 4 weeks. First 2 weeks I had insomnia and not much sleep. Now insomnia is gone but I only sleep 4 hours which I I wake up around 4 am. Do you think this will continue? Your kind help would be highly appreciated.

I want to take this medication so badly and stick with it. I keep stopping because I went on google too much, now I am too scared to take it. I am on hydromorphone 2mg x2 a day and I am scared of possible interaction. I spoke to the pharmacist but I am still scared.

how is it after several years? is that sustainable?

a month? I got told to go to 300mg after 3 days, as if the side effects weren't horrendous enough at 150mg.

I will be starting Wellbutrin as soon as my doctor gives the go-ahead. I have to go through the whole process first of coming off of Effexor, which I've been on for many years. Effexor seems to have done all it plans to do for me. I hope I do as well as you have.Thanks for sharing the experience.

Doesn't the seizure risk increase at 450mg?

I am a 50 year old male concerned about the horrific reviews that people have had regarding Bupropion and severe acne breakouts. I am starting 150mg and after a week my doctor wants me to bump up to 300mg a day. What has been your experience with acne if any. And have you noticed this issue with other people on Bupropion. Your input would be valuable since I could not handle a huge cystic acne breakout on my body.

Bipolar 1 here with 3 manic episodes over 3 years. Started Wellbutrin xl 3 days ago. Tomorrow I bump my dose up to 300 from 150. Hoping this gets me out of my funk and makes me feel more awake. Does this medication make you feel more alert?

I was prescribed Bupropion 150 xl, I did have bulimia a while back but have taken control. My question is how long between overcoming bulimia can I start the medication without worry of grand mal seizures I’m only asking cause it does say don’t take the medication if you have or have had in the past an eating disorder. Thanks I’m advance for any information.

Thank you for this video, one month into Wellbutrin and about to go to 300mg.

Was on lexipro 20mg for 2 years now on wellbutrin. I'm thinking of stopping because I'm experiencing an extreme increase in irritability and depressive thoughts. Is it a bad idea to skip a day now and then? I'm in week 4. thanks!

Glad your doing well. I just started Wellbutrin myself 300mg and cymbalta 60 mg. I hope it works for me.

I've been holding in my depression for so long to the point where it was hurting everyone around me. Just started wellbutrin recently, I hope it works for me.

I'm really suffering from anxiety and worrying. My doctor mentioned he might start me on Wellbutrin. I hope it helps.

Seasonal affective disorder SUCKS

Ive been talking it for about 3 months now, no sides effects, i knew i was depressed but until i started i didnt realize how bad depressed i was. I use it for weight loss at150 mg i lost 5 lbs in two weeks, then i stalled, asked my dr if he would up it , he did to 300 mg lost 5 lbs again, but now in a stall, i go see him again for a update in 2 weeks, lets see

Number 2😂😂 I heard it helps extremely with libido , is it correct. Cymbalta was the complete

Hi, thank you for your review. I know this is going to sound odd but when you are bipolar can you be in a depressive episode for years and have morning suicidal ideation and then leave in the evening I was on benzodiazepines for over 12 years. The doctor abruptly stopped them And I have been trying to live for those two years i’ve had extreme acathisia and SI every day, since I don’t know if the Wellbutrin would help with SI, does it help with that I can’t keep doing this, I have no quality of life

Hows your libido on this ? I was worried about that when i was prescribed. Starting tom @ 150 sr twice daily

Thank you for your channel.

Acil cevap verebilirmisiniz lütfen welbutrin saç döküyormu?

Has anyone tried Auvelity after Wellbutrin? Im on 300 mg Sr. Im hoping Auvelity will help more. Urgent warning. The withdrawals of Wellbutrin Sr are hell. Its cancelling out my pain meds so I was going to stop after only 4 weeks. I didnt take my 300 mg Sr for one day. One. The next day my entire body crashed. I could not function. Crazy whole body pain. I took 150 mg and felt better. Instantly balanced out. Im hoping the switch to Auvelity will help me more.

unfortunately its been 8 weeks since starting Wellbutrin and nothing is happening :(

The suicidal thoughts has definitely decreased in my first week and I’m actually waking up early.

I’m on lexapro and it doesn’t do. I thing for me abd im worries I want to see if I can change my lexapro or switch to something else or even add another item . Thanks for sharing

Wellbutrin/Abilify for the win!(personally anyway) nice video!

This gives me hope as a person with bipolar. Did you have any manic symptoms?

I just started a week aog , and now i am feeling like little electric shocks...can anyone tell me what this is

How's your memory on it mate?

Je comprends pas??? Est-ce que tu prends tout les médicaments qu'il existe coudonc ????

Hello . Can I take Wellbutrin xl with 5 htp ? Thanks a lot

Why not using lamotrigine or other first line meds for BD-depression?

Are you still taking this medication?

I'm taking bupron 150xl for past 1n half month for smoking cessation but it's still not working yet

Llevo dos semanas sigo igual no puedo levantar de la cama 😢

Who makes the generic wellbutrin XL that you use?

i have anxiety as well. And headaches taking 100 mg

Taken it twenty years uselessly now off all of it on depalgos andngabapentin which work. The tremor is terrible

Did you experience any fatigue when starting?

Very nice vid. Thank you

Looks like it didn't work for him , his hair hasn't grown back.(Joke). I am on ssri's I have had side affects of all four medications I have tried. Lexapro was good then totally pooped out in just 4 month so I swapped to prozac and slept 16 hours a day for 6 months now I have started setraline and I have muscle weakness and extreme fatigue. I was looking at this video for wellbutrin as it doesn't work on serotonin so maybe a alternative for me, I can't go back to the crying and never ending suicidal thoughts I had done that for 3 years solid and refused antidepressants but I know I need something and that something shouldn't be the need to jump off a cliff. I have exhausted all other ideas, I've had cognitive therapy, done meditation 🧘‍♂️, asked God for help (still waiting for a reply) exercise exacerbates my panic attacks and sensitivity drastically when I'm not on antidepressants and as I'm on antidepressants I'm so fatigued I couldn't care less about exercise. My exercise is sleeping. I was diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder and major depressive disorder I also went down the path of alcohol addiction as alcohol was simply the best way to eradicate thoughts as it turns out its also the best way to make the situation 10 times worse. I haven't drank for 4 years but they have been just as miserable the only gift I got from alcohol was A.A meetings and the 12 step programme which is my only uplift in life. Take away the alcohol and what have alcoholics got ? Terrible mental health. They understand me like no other earthlings can. I have a alien 👽 problem I can't expect other earthlings to understand me I need to be around likeminded aliens. Lots of people in A.A meetings are not truly alcoholics it's just that they have associated there mental health with there drinking and not been diagnosed properly for what is actually wrong with them. I believe this is the case for 50 percent of people in the rooms. Even if they got diagnosed with a mental health disorder they would keep it quiet as they know the best help is the 12 steps of A.A which can be applied to all mental health issues and should definitely be the way forward. I believe they use it for gambling addicts which proves my point.

do u have difficulty to sleep

Welbutrin and zoloft its good combo?

Is it good for boost libido?

Switched over from Lexapro to Wellbutrin. It works well I believe combined with my clonazepam for anxiety :)

🍄

It gave me extreme rage and anxiety

What happened when you stop

Right now, I am on day 15, been having some mood swing (nothing to major though) , anxiety, its been kinda hard to focus as well. The weird thing is although my anxiety seems high, it seems like its helping with my anxiety at the same time.

Does Welburtin help for Reward defecite syndrome?

The generic suck

I hear it works for some. Others seem to go into murderous rages. That stuff is more dangerous than any symptom it is intended to cure, IMO.

Whats the name of the beat in your intro?

Are you a pharmacist. I see you make a bunch of videos on different medications

Anybody lose weight?

You live too much in your head. No offense. No offense because I've struggled with mental illness. Major depression, schizoeffective disorder, OCD, Aspergers (autistic), ADHD, Anxiety, social anxiety, agoraphobia, bipolar etc etc... the more I go thru Life and grow as a human being and as man I'm starting to understand that the psychiatrists don't know what they are talking about and it's impossible for them to know how another individual is thinking. They are not mind reader's but can only believe the symptom you tell them and even then they can't go into your mind to understand you. Psychologists do a better job than psychiatrists. Here's what I've discovered: the root cause of all human suffering is the mind!! If we didn't have a mind and if we didn't have thoughts and ideas, we wouldn't know suffering. Negative thoughts and all the mental stories that repeat in the heads of all people, is not real and is basically just dreams and imaginations. People who struggle with mental problems only struggle with it because they believed their thoughts and imaginations are real. All imaginations and all negative thoughts don't exist!! However if you believe in a dream for long enough you will eventually begin to believe in your thoughts and act them out which is like a self fulfilling Prophesy! There is nothing wrong with you, it's all in your mind!! Know this and be Free!!! 😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
