Has anyone taken Wellbutrin before? I started it two weeks ago and my anxiety/depression has worsened. My psychiatrist, therapist and doctor warned me that’ll be the case for the first 4-6 weeks before I see the benefits. But man is it hard (I’ve never take any antidepressants before).

Hi. I take Wellbutrin. I have been on it for several years now, so I don't remember what it was like starting out. I find that it's a good antidepressant. The only thing is that it does have waking properties (told to me by my psychiatrist). I take mine in the morning because of this.

I'm on it for 2 weeks now and it has made me worse. Really, really sad and depressed. God forbid my doctor should get in touch with me, ya know?!😡😡

Hello my sister took Wellbutrin and became Real skinny. My other friend takes it with her Paxil to help with libido! She says she is doing better! But for sure tell your Doctor! Oh my other friend became real antsy uncomfortable!

Sometimes it takes longer to kick in, since we are just made differently. I've been on a few different ones through the years and on occasion, it takes what feels like forever to begin working. Hang in there and keep repeating things like "I am at peace." "All is well". With a prayer....Sandra
