Anyone else take Wellbutrin? What happens when you miss doses?

Just started a few months ago. And I haven’t taken it in two days due to the fact that I haven’t eaten (mostly due to depression and lack of time) and it makes me nauseous when I take it without food

What symptoms do you get when you miss doses?

When I miss one or two doses nothing terrible seems to happen. If I don't take it for a week or so I start sinking into a deep depression. But, everyone is different. Wellbutrin has a long half life, 21 hours, so missing a dose after taking it regularly for several weeks won't have much effect.

Thanks! Good to know! I don’t intend on not taking it but life’s a struggle rn

I take 300mg Wellbutrin. Unfortunately, I recently went through a little more than a week of not taking it. I didn't really notice much of a difference in my mood. I am on more than on AD, though.

Just switched from sertraline which I was on for two years but had zero sex drive so my new doc switched me

Yes, SSRI's like sertraline often have a negative effect on sex drive and performance, unfortunately.
