In reply to WELLBUTRIN, posted by Domonique on August 4, 2001, at 14:51:00
i have been on wellbutrin for about two months now. for me, it kicked in immediately, and i felt incredibly energized. it also, however, aggravated my anxiety and panic for the first 6 or 7 weeks. ativan as needed seemed to help, although i liked the energy so much that i only took ativan when absolutely necessary. the edginess has decreased now, although i have just had a couple of weeks of anger/rage episodes. sounds bad, eh? it hasn't been too bad - its the only thing that has worked for me thus far. no other major side effects - some trouble with falling asleep and waking up early, headaches a little worse than usual, and a dramatic decrease in appetite and sugar cravings.
> I have only been on Effexor for a short time, but cannot tolerate the insane sweating, and dizzy feeling. because I was able to read about the side effects here (thank you) I have decided to stop it before I get much more in my system.
> After doing some research, it seems Wellbutrin may be the answer.
