In reply to Wellbutrin - how long does it take to kick in?, posted by peacetoy on September 14, 2005, at 6:24:07
Hey hey hey!
I'm in the UK too and my GP has prescribed, well I convinced him to let me try zyban/wellbutrin for its AD properties. Actually if I'm brutally honest, I wanted it for its weight loss properties and its effect on ADD symptoms - I am pretty sure I have ADD, (and I realise, its making me underachieve drastically) so I thought wellbutrin would be one of the easier ADD drugs to get my hands on - I hardly think they will let me try Ritalin!!!
Plus I haven't really had much success with the SSRIs....
Prozac - just went crazy on it;
Effexor - okay I suppose (from what I remember);
Celexa - constant fatigue;
reboxetine - okay but gave me acne :o( and my periods stopped. But I ate anything I wanted and didn't gain a gram!
And now wellbutrin - hopefully this will do something.Although I am only on Day 4 at 150mg/day. hmmm can't say I have noticed anything to be honest!
Its part of my strategy - I'm moving this weekend, so I needed my nice amenable GP in this part of the country to prescribe me something another GP probably wouldn't....it'll be easier going to a new GP and saying that I'm on it already. Anyway........
I think, long term, I'll have to augument the zyban with something else. Any ideas?
Anyway, take care
Meri
