Wellbutrin Making me Hormonal?

Posted by ewm12 on November 10, 2005, at 19:14:32

I have been taking 300mg Wellbutrin for about 4 months now. Prior to that I was taking Wellbutrin and lexapro for 2 months and felt great, but the lexapro made my hair start to fall out. And before that combo, I was taking effexor and wellbutrin, which worked well for a few years but eventually couldn't take effexxor's side effects.

So, anyway, I have been determined to try just Wellbutrin because I am SOOO tired of these drugs. However, in the past few months, I have become incredibly hormonal. First, tons of bad acne. Second, HORRIBLE PMS with cramps almost ALL month. I used to have light to non-existent periods (have been on the same pill for about 8 years) but no longer. The PMS is lessening each month as are the periods. So, part of me wants to stick it out. But, I am having horrible mood swings, which remind me of when I was 13 and a clueless pediatrician put me on progesteron when I had ovarian cyst problems. Kind of like out of control emotions and HUGE sex drive. Has any one else experienced Wellbutrin-- or another AD -- having such impact on hormones? Does it lessen? Should I tough it out some more?

I am on the verge of calling my pdoc but am just so tired of these damn meds, especially after lossing 30% of my hair to lexapro.

Any thoughts and experiences would be so helpful!
