Anyone here on Wellbutrin? Does it work well for you? How much do you take (if you’re willing to share) and does it help?

I think I want to ask my doctor for some.

Hey Kelkel00! I take Lexapro but was feeling numb and lethargic so doctor added Wellbutrin, 75 mg in AM, 75 mg at noon.. I’ve only been doing this for a week but already have a bit more pep in my step. So far, so good, but I guess only time will tell for sure. Hope this helps a bit. 😀

I took Wellbutrin for quite a few years. I started at 50mgs and increased to 100mgs after a couple of years. It worked quite well but as with all antidepressants, you eventually hit that wall where it stops working. It's also one of the very few antidepressants that doesn't cause weight gain. I think it's worth discussing with your doctor.

Hi there,I am on 300mg Wellbutrin. I find it helpful with no side effects. Everyone is different, though, so I would go with what your doctor recommends.

Thank you all for your input! It sounds favorable! I’m going to ask today!

I know you posted this 2 months ago but this is my first time logging on in over a year I believe. I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 350mg for about 3 years. I was advised to take it early in the morning (5am -ish) because unlike most antidepressants, it is energizing, so it may interfere with your sleep.
