I know this is mostly a UK board, and it is my understanding that Wellbutrin is not prescribed for depression in the UK. I think it is prescribed there (under a different name, I forget what) for smoking cessation.
But anyway, I was wondering if anybody here has ever taken it and if the could share their experiences with it, good or bad.
I went to the doctor yesterday because I have been crying a lot lately, feeling hopeless, a lot of anxiety, etc.
He prescribed wellbutrin. I am to start at 150 mg, then in five days I will increase it to 300 mg by taking two tablets per day.
He also gave me ambien for sleep, because I have been having insomnia.
Anyway, I just took my first wellbutrin pill this morning, and it seems to already be helping. I feel a little better already. But I also feel very shaky, almost like i've had too much coffee. This I making me a little nervous. I called back to the clinic, and they said this is normal and will pass when I get used to the medication. My heart is beating a little fast too, but i'm just trying not to focus on it and to distract myself.
Has anyone else here ever taken this medication, and if so, what was your experience?
