Hello Pat and Nancy, I have been having the same problems as you two. I have now been on 300 mg/day of Wellbutrin for 5 weeks. After the second week, my depression started to lift a bit, but then I hurt my back and slid right back into a deep deep depression. This makes me think it really isnt working like it should.
Also, I suffer panic attacks and have chronic anxiety. I thought I was going crazy from the anxiety, and couldnt figure out if it was from the Wellbutrin or hurting my back (i'm a hypocondric too).
So my psychiatrist gave me Klonopin just to take for a very short time (2 weeks) just to help with this current bout of anxiety. We decided I would stay on the Well. for a couple more weeks to see if there was any improvement. So far there has been none.
My anxiety is still at a very high level, although I feel like the only thing that has helped it is the Klonopin, but I do not want to be dependent on that. I have already been through Serzone (didnt work) and Paxil (I was allergic to it). I was really hoping
the wellbutrin would work because of the low side effects, and I have completely quit smoking since taking it.Does anyone know of a good supplement to take with wellbutrin to lessen the anxiety? My psych says that if I dont improve on this she is going to switch me to Celexa. Does anyone know anything about this AD?
I am really starting to feel like I will never find the right combo for me and am getting tired of trying. Is it always this hard to find the right one for you?I dont know if this really answers any of your questions, but this has been my experience on Wellbutrin so far.

>Hi- I too have been on the antidepressant merry-go-round for about a year now. Serzone made me psychotic, remeron made me extremely fat, all SSRI's made me nauseous and gave me insomnia. Also, I don't trust SSRI's cause everyone on here seems to get fat on them too. Fitness is very important to me. I saw my pdoc yesterday and he is keeping me on my extremely low dose of Wellbutrin (only 100 mg) for five more weeks to see if the anxiety lets up. For now, I am taking ativan for the anxiety which is nothing new for me. I've had to take the ativan ever since this anxiety thing started. The anxiety didn't seem too bad today. I've only been on Wellbutrin two weeks now. I was so hopeful this time of finding a good drug - I was determined to put up with all side effects as long as I possibly could, no matter what they were. But the last couple of days I've been experiencing the dreaded constipation (which I had on elavil too). Does anybody else on Wellbutrin have this, and does anybody know if it lets up or does it just go on and on? I was on a tricyclic AD for years and just put up with the relentless constipation, but it ruined my body in several different ways. I don't want to go through that again. Can anybody give me any information about this? Please?

Pat,
Yes, I have the dreaded constipation too. As I posted earlier I have been on Wellbutrin for about 5 weeks full strength now. I've had the constipation ever since week one.
The only thing that I have found to help, is I take one glass full of Medimucial (spelling??) every night, and it has seemed to regulate me, although not quite to the point of being
normal. I am like you in that I was determined that this would be the drug to work for me, and it is very frustrating to be having these axiety problems on it, and really no lifting
of my depression so far. How long is it supposed to take? I have heard that people with panic disorder take longer to respond to medication, so I am still hopeful that it may work.
Let me know how things turn out for you as time goes by. Does anyone know of a good supplement that balances out the anxiety? Is Ativan addictive? That is why I dont want to stay on the
Klonopin.Thanks, LD

I wish we would hear from some people who have adjusted to this drug. I'm dissappointed to hear that after 5 weeks you still have some problems with constipation. I was hoping this drug would let up on that, unlike the triavil I used to take that never let up. I put up with that for years. I'm already drinking citrucel because of all the problems with my bowel caused by triavil. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that my anxiety seemed to start lessening yesterday afternoon. Remember, I'm only on 100 mg, lots less than you. I'm still taking ativan routinely, but the first two weeks on Wellbutrin, my regular doses of ativan were bearly holding me and I had to increase it. Now, it almost seems like I might need to take less ativan soon. From what I've read on these posts, ativan is "addicting" but it seems as though a person just has to be careful to slowly wean off it when no longer needed. My pdoc has practically insisted I take it because we haven't been able yet to find an AD that I can tolerate that controls my anxiety. Meanwhile, while we keep trying new ones, I have to be able to function as a mother and on the job. So...gotta take ativan. I don't get panic attacks, just anxiety so bad, I just feel like my skin is inside out. Anyway, I'm "babbling". Hope the Wellbutrin starts doing something for your depression soon.

Hi everybody,
I'm glad I started reading the Wellbutrin thread.
I've been on it for 4 weeks now, and while I had terrible
diarrhea at first, now I am constipated. Now I
know why.I've noticed some weight loss, although since I
don't own a scale anymore, I have no idea how much.Since I've been on the Wellbutrin, I seem to have
become numb, and some of it may be "self-inflicted."
I notice I am also less tolerant and more bitchy/
moody, and maybe the stress is bothering me more?Re: The numbness -- If I let myself "feel" then
I just lose it. I've put up a big wall around me
right now, and nobody's getting through.Anyone else having similar stuff with regard to
Wellbutrin?janey girl

Hi Janey - welcome to the Wellbutrin thread! Try using citrucel and prune juice - it's working for me now. I have been feeling somewhat "disconnected" at times - hoping that goes away. What dose are you taking? Did you start out on that? Are you taking any other meds? Do you or did you have anxiety? (I don't mean to pry - ha ha). I'm just dying for info - I'm really hoping to make this be the answer for me.

Pat,
I started at the 150 mg SR dose and am still at that
dose. My doctor seems to think that there's no
reason to increase it if it works at this level.I'm curious to find out if the weight loss is a long-term
thing or just a initial side effect. If it's long-
term, I'm all for it. Although I am following Dr.
Christiane Northrup's recommendations to eat
better -- no "white" foods, and my weight loss
could be due to that. The people I work with
are amazed at what they call my "discipline". I
wonder if the Wellbutrin has anything to do with
the discipline? It's not motivation.I'm being treated for chronic depression with
major depressive episode and anxiety.janey girl

hi. i have just gine off wellbutrin for several
reasons. one, it isn't working for me even
though i was taking 450mg a day. two, with my
depression i have experienced extreme weight loss
because of loss of appetite. i don't really know
why my doctors put me on this drug in the first
place but they did and now i am at a very dangerous
weight and having trouble finding any appetite for
anything. plus i had really bad tinnitus when i
started on wellbutrin. so, i haven't a good
experience with the drug and want to warn anyone
with an eating disorder or marked weight loss
because of depression that you may want to steer
clear of this drug because of its appetite
suppresant tendencies. nobody told me and now i
am paying for. good luck to everyone trying new
meds!

started effexor last week and am waiting to see if
that does any good. are you on wellbutrin?

Hi -- I just started today taking Wellbutrin. I have been on Zoloft for about 2 years because of depression and it really saved my life. Now I've been diagnosed with ADD (not ADHD) and the Dr. is trying me on Wellbutrin. He says to combine the 2 drugs for now and we can lower or eliminate the Zoloft later. The depression was so difficult that I had do something to get a handle on things but the possible side effects of another drug have me kind of nervous. Although what I've read about it being an appetite suppressant is a pretty good bonus. Does anybody have experience re depression + ADD treated by either Wellbutrin or Zoloft or both that they can share? Thanks, Laney

Hi,
I have been on Zoloft for 71/2 years and it has saved my life. My depression and anxiety was extremely severe. I tried Imipramine which helped the depression to a point but not the anxiety attacks. A couple years later after suffering another severe bout of depression my Dr put me on Zoloft which has taken away my depression and anxiety but I've gained about 45 lbs. The cravings have gotten worse over the years so now my Dr wants me to try Wellbutrin because of its weight loss effects on most people. He said I can continue to take 150 mgs of Zoloft because I was so nervous about going off it for fear I'd have another bout of depression. I'll be starting Wellbutrin (150 mgs) tomorrow.
If anyone has taken both Zoloft and Wellbutrin, I would like to hear your experience and advise.
Thanks, Tammi

hello, i have been taking zoloft for the past two years.
I started with 50 mlg and slowly found myself having to increase my dosage
i am finally up to 175 and i seem to have built a
resistance so.....after a rough two months I
weened myself down to none and started celexa.
They (the dr.'s) say that you must give a med time
before you know if it will work.....I stayed on the celexa for 3 days
and found myself feeling worse so i just took myself off and went back
to the zoloft. Not long after did I find that it just wasn't working.
Crying, anxiety, confusion and obsessive thoughts and actions.....
Could it really be the medication no longer working? Feeling out of control
I found a new shrink and she perscribed the zoloft/
wellbutrin. it's day 3 and I do notice a less depression in fact this afternoon
I felt like a cloud had shifted. But as hours passed I suddenly
felt paranoid, and i swear i thought i saw yellow
spots. It felt like the one and only time i took dexatrim or no-doze. I was very uncomfortable
and felt like nervous, spacey and worried. This is alot of information, i know but
i'm very dissapointed and scared. When i took zoloft for the first time I felt an immediate
o.k.ness come over me. I had all the side effects but mentally i was o.k. and loved it.
Does anyone find that you can tell whether a drug will work in the first week?
When something doesn't agree with me it is brutal
and I believe that it isn't for me. Is this sensible?
Has anyone tried Paxil? also, the weight issue- I am a compulsive eater/dieter...obsessed.
i would be happy to just live one day without thinking about my eating patterns. Is the weight that you all speak
of from an increased appetite? Is it scientifically proven?
I need calmness and confidence, it's buried somewhere beneath
an insecure, obsessive, selfconscience, anti-social
Anyone tried Paxil? I couldn't handle gaining weight.
I would come apart even more.... i have already gained 10 lbs in the last 2 months
of trial& error with the meds. just frustration eating. If you have read this far I appreciate it.
I am falling asleep as i write but I fear waking up
tomorrow to despair.> Hi,

Hi.
I have no personal experience with either ADD AD/HD or the combination of Zoloft and Wellbutrin.I'm not sure I would be so quick to want to discontinue Zoloft (sertraline) after adding the Wellbutrin (bupropion, amphebutamone). There really is no need to, unless you are suffering any side effects that persuade you to stop taking it. Zoloft plus Wellbutrin can be a wonderful combination. I've seen many people who have responded only partially to Zoloft, or for whom the SSRI "poop-out" has occurred after responding well initially, gain a full response after adding Wellbutrin. One of the side benefits to adding Wellbutrin is that it can often mitigate the sexual side effects (anorgasmia and decreased libido) associated with SSRI antidepressants like Zoloft. It may even help offset the tendency toward weight-gain. Another consideration is the fact that frequently, after discontinuing a drug that has been working, restarting it does not recapture the antidepressant response once it has been lost. Another SSRI like Paxil can be substituted for Zoloft.
I imagine you already know that Wellbutrin has been shown to be effective to varying degrees for treating ADD AD/HD. From what I've read, it is often effective when the psychostimulants are not. However, caution should be exercised when treating children with Wellbutrin, as it can induce or exacerbate tics. Zoloft and other SSRIs don't seem to be at all effective.

Child Adolesc Psychopharmacol 1996 Fall;6(3):165-75Open-label treatment of comorbid depression and attentional disorders with co-administration of serotonin reuptake inhibitors and psychostimulants in children, adolescents, and adults: a case series.
Findling RL
Department of Psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University, School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio 44106, USA.Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and major depression are common ailments that can cause significant dysfunction throughout the life cycle. These two disorders may occur comorbidly. This case series describes 7 pediatric patients (aged 10-16 years) and 4 adults (aged 38-44 years) whose ADHD and comorbid major depression were treated in a naturalistic open clinical fashion. For all 11 patients, symptoms of major depression appeared to respond well to either fluoxetine or sertraline monotherapy. Using starting doses of fluoxetine 10 mg or sertraline 25 mg daily, we did not observe any adverse behavioral activation or clinical deterioration. However, no improvement in ADHD symptoms was observed in any patient during fluoxetine or sertraline monotherapy. Adjunctive treatment with a psychostimulant seemed necessary for chronic ADHD symptoms to be effectively addressed. The psychostimulants did not appear to provide observable antidepressant effects. With the exception of one adult who had a 20 mm Hg increase in diastolic pressure on methylphenidate monotherapy at 22.5 mg daily, the administration and coadministration of these agents were not associated with significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate. No patient developed suicidality, increased aggressiveness, mania, or other problematic side effects. This combination therapy was well tolerated and appeared to be effective in ameliorating both ADHD and depressive symptoms. These cases support previous suggestions that adjunctive treatment with psychostimulants might be a safe and effective intervention for children treated with fluoxetine or sertraline who have persistent ADHD symptoms and suggests that such combined treatment may be suitable for adults as well.

Then again, 45 pounds sounds like plenty enough reason to consider discontinuing the Zoloft. Maybe you could try to taper off of it later, after you've establish a therapeutic dose of Wellbutrin. I'm sorry that I didn't pay more attention to this "insignificant" side effect in my first post. Certainly, Wellbutrin is a good choice.

Tammi,
i have been on both wellbutrin and zoloft but never at the
same time. my first experience with an antidepressant was
with zoloft. i was on it for four or five weeks
and it didn't have any effect on me. so then i went to
wellbutrin which started to work. i was on it for
about five months until it slowly began to stop
working. so now i am on a new antidepressant-
effexor. but if you are interested in the weight
loss side effects, i most definately experienced
them. they were harmful to me because i have problems
with undereating because of my depression. i have
always been frustrated by how much one's weight can
change because of different antidepressant medications.
anyway, i wish you luck with your experiences with
wellbutrin. i hope it works out for you.~kate

paula,
i have never had an anti depressant begin to work
within the first week (aside from the occasional
placebo affect.) i have talked to other people
about wellbutrin and how it can cause paranoia and
anxiety. i suffered from both when i was on the
drug. but it could just be symptoms of your depression
and not necessarily the medication. it makes sense
to me that you might get a little scared about a
drug if it is causing you to feel so awful.
have you talked to your doctor about your
severity of side effects? i wouldn't worry about
gaining weight if you are on wellbutrin. it often
causes weight loss. i have problems with undereating.
how do you handle your eating problems? they are
so difficult to overcome aren't they? i have never
tried paxil. bye for now.~kate

I've been on Wellbutrin for a year and it has virtually eliminated my depression. I have had GI problems since starting it though and they seem to get progressively worse, leading me to be diagnosed with "irritable bowel syndrome" five months after I started the Wellbutrin. I take fiber supplements daily and this keeps me barely functional. I have lost 10 lbs since starting Wellbutrin; I am not underweight but if I continue to loose weight I will be underweight. Hopefully, my weight will stay as it is.
I would be interested to know if there are any other Wellbutrin longtimers who have the GI problems. I tried going off the Wellbutrin but quickly got depressed.
BTW, I had the tinnitus when I first started but it went away after about 4 months.

I developed IBS syndrome from being overprescribed a medication for parasitic infection. It struck mostly with dairy and chinese foods (??). But Serzone cleared it up for me. AT one time I added WB to Serzone, but it made me aggitated, angry, and distracted. That may have been a synergistic effect between the two.
It didn't trigger the IBS, however. Now that i'm virtually off Serzone, the IBS has returned and the Celexa is not helping it.
My Doctor told me to stay away from cocaine, b.c. it really does a number on your GI track. WB and Coke both work on Dopamine...a link?

I don't know whether this is related, but since my WB SR dose was upped to 400mg in the spring, I have not wanted to eat meat. It has been pretty repulsive. Now I can't eat meat. When I have eaten it, my bowels have paid me back big-time. Not that I really want to eat meat. It still does not appeal.

I've been told that the Zoloft shouldn't affect the pregnancy but for now I want to consult with my pdoc to see if I can change to Wellbutrin because I understand that this has less sexual side effects than the Zoloft does. Does anyone have info on how Zoloft affected their sex life vs. Wellbutrin and if Wellbutrin is okay to take during pregnancy?

trying to get some advice on wellbutrin..i currently have an eating disorder and my dr. put me on wellbutrin..is this insane or what? does this drug really cause weight loss? i have tried every ad their is..(well not really) i have celexa, serozone, risperdal,effexor and even paxil(i can't remember all)and all of them except the wb cause lack of libido... also my dr. put me on 450mg is this normal? he also put me on 50mg of luvox, has anyone taken these two together? does anyone know what the highest dose of wb is? even my insurance is questioning it. does anyone know of an ad that does not take your sex life away? i am getting desperate in this matter..all advice is welcomed even if it does not pertain to the questions asked..
