I too got that 'irritated'/anxious feeling for the first 1-2 weeks on wellbutrin (starting at 100 mg and going up to 300 over that period). It did subside though, and I haven't had any problems with that since.

It seems to affect my appetite only very slightly, so I (unfortunately) haven't lost any weight. However, I recently began taking effexor as well (which i have taken before, and strongly suppresses my appetite), so the combo has helped me lose about 6 pounds over the past two months.

Good luck and stick it out with the wellbutrin...unless the side effects are absolutely unbearable (or untreatable --- I have ocd/anxiety and depression, so when i had bad days and extreme anxiety when starting on wellbutrin, I would use small doses of benzos (such as klonopin and xanax) to treat acute anxiety). You are already a week into it though so you should be doing much better very soon.

Btw, I plan to switch from effexor to zoloft very soon. Do you like zoloft/find it effective? How do you like it compared to other medications you have taken? And what side effects have you experienced on it?
