Wellbutrin Experiences

Posted by MB on June 25, 2000, at 17:39:00

I'm on my sixth day of Wellbutrin. It's been an interesting experience. On the first day, I felt nothing. On the second and third day, I felt great after each dose (150mg SR/BID), but fell into an irritable slump in between doses. The last few days have been extreme, to say the least. Feel like I'm about to go over the top in terms of anxiety, racing thoughts, etc.

This is the third time I've been on Wellbutrin. The first time, I was already on Xanax for GAD. It took the edges off the WB side effects. The second time, I drank to take the edge off. Now I'm in Recovery and can't drink EtOH, and really should stay as far away from benzos as possible. This is the first time I've had to deal with the initial WB effects without a depressant to help. How long is the anxiousness a side effect. I remember that once I got adjusted to the med, It was great. Hope I can make it to that point.

ps. For some reason, drinking a cup of coffee when I'm really spinning on the WB helps calm/center me. Any theories?
