In reply to side effects of well butrin...suicidal tendencies?, posted by jcsmiles21 on September 9, 2003, at 18:29:29
I don't believe that Welbutrin causes suicidal tendacies. I don't want to step on anyone's toes but your roommate went on Welbutrin because he was already depressed. I think that Welbutrin just wasn't a strong enough Anti-Depressant (AD) for him. I consider Welbutrin to be a Light-Weight, with Effexor being a Heavy-Weight AD.
I am sorry for your loss. I'm sorry for him that he took a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
> My roommate committed suicide while taking 100 mgs of wellbutrin 2 times a day. He was suffering from depression. Though he complained about the side effects he was having, his psychacrist stated that it would take six weeks for the drug to take it full effect. He hanged himself 3 days prior to the 6 week timeframe. Has anybody else had suicidal thoughts from taking well butrin??
