Hello everyone,
I just thought I would share my experience with this medication.
I've been on Wellbutrin 150mg XL for 3 days and on Escitalopram 10 mg for 2 weeks and Quetiapine 100mg for 4 weeks.
Day 2: morning I woke up feeling a bit more energised. Depression took away all the energy, motivation and desire of doing the things that I like to do. However yesterday morning I woke up feeling a little bit more hopeful.
I even managed to go to the gym for 2 hours and actually enjoyed it. I didn't have to force myself. I was looking forward to it.
The only side effect I had waswith my vision. If I move my head too quickly, it feels like things are spinning, but it's not bad at all.
Day 3: I woke up feeling motivated, I didn't have to force myself out of bed. I went on a long walk with my dog and ran some errands. HOWEVER, in addition to the side effects I had yesterday, now I have quite bad anxiety, palpitations and shortness of breath. I can take Clonazepam to keep the anxiety under control.
How was your experience with this medication? Did it help you? How long did it take before you could feel the benefits? What side effects did you have and what dose was most effective for you? It would be really helpful for me to hear other people's stories as it encourages me to push through the inizial phase when sides effects can be a nightmare.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
