Just wondering how anyone handled taking Wellbutrin/Bupropion? I was just prescribed this med because I didn’t handle the side effects of Zoloft very well.

just curious of people’s experiences with it. What were your symptoms, etc?

Hey scarlet2020 ,

I take Bupropion. I started at 150mg which did not work as it made me anxious and unable to get good sleep. I now take half this dosage and it works better. Seems to help my anxiety and those side effects from the higher dosage are gone. It may be causing a slight increase in nighttime bathroom trips but I'm not certain. That could just be age related.

This is one of my medicines. It is a good medicine for me and doesn't have any side effects. Please keep in mind that Wellbutrin does have waking properties.

what were your side effects on Sertraline? Mine are mainly constant nausea though only on 25mg! Has been 3 weeks now!

in reply toValleyheath

My side effects were severe nausea, then actual vomiting. There was no way I was going to continue with that
