Even though you may experience weight loss on Wellbutrin, this medication is not specifically designed for losing weight. 8 However, if you are taking (or plan to take) an anti-depressant and worry about possible weight gain, it is important to note that Wellbutriin is less likely to cause weight gain than many other anti-depressants.If Wellbutrin is going to work for you, studies indicate that you will probably lose about 2-10% of your initial body weight (4). That means if you are 200 pounds the best case scenario is that Wellbutrin helps you lose 20 pounds.
If you are only 150 pounds, it’s possible that Wellbutrin may only help you lose a couple of pounds.Wellbutrin is a prescription antidepressant. Although it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight loss, some people believe that Wellbutrin may help you to lose weight. Educating yourself about weight loss and Wellbutrin will enable you to determine if Wellbutrin is likely to aid in your weight loss.
Some effects are felt almost immediately whereas other can take 4-6 weeks to become apparent (the time frame for the medication to reach therapeutic level/maximum effectiveness) The weight loss/appetite reduction effect of Wellbutrin doesn’t occur at all in some people. The time frame for effects/benefits to become apparent are also based on the physiology/metabolism of the individual.You can Lose Weight With Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin is successful for weight reduction, up to two significant criteria are met. You must be an) overweight or large and You should be a non-smoker.
Wellbutrin is effective for weight loss, as long as two important criteria are met. You have to be a) overweight or obese and b) you must be a non-smoker. While Wellbutrin use for weight loss is promising, ALL studies show that it is more effective if it is complimented with a healthy diet and exercise.As a side effect Wellbutrin can cause weight loss and a decrease in appetite.
However as you said that your body can adjust to the drug hence you may get these side effects.This is opposed to 18.7% gaining weight on Effexor and the bright light for some folks would be that 6.9% of Wellbutrin users LOST weight. There is no antidepressant/anti-psychotic that will not cause weight gain in certain susceptible users. Otherwise we’d all be taking it.
Wellbutrin XL (bupropion): “I used Wellbutrin XL for two years, and in conjunction with sensible eating and a walking regimen, lost 75 pounds. I believe the Wellbutrin gave me the motivation to stick with the eating and exercise plan. It may have also provided a pharmacological effect.
Quick background: Wellbutrin XL 300 mg 2005-summer 2014. Boosted to 450 mg summer 2014-May 2017. May 2017 began taper. August 11, 2017 took last dose! My question for the group is regarding withdrawal weight gain.
I have always been very thin with no difficulty controlling my weight, a healthy diet and pretty aggressive workout routine.I’d say No, you won’t definitely lose weight. Wellbutrin is speedy for some people but not so to others. Even if it has speedy effect on you it won’t stop you from eating. If you wanted to lose weight Wellbutrin can make it easier to stay on a diet, sometimes.
I would cut back on carbs. Eat a lot of protein, not too much though. And eat a lot of vegetables.
That has helped me. I am cooking a cauliflower today. I wish you the best. Keep a positive attitude. Whenever I took wellbutrin, I lost weight, I took it twice.
The placebo group lost 5% of initial body weight while subjects who received Wellbutrin 300 or 400 mg/day lost 7.2% and 10.1% respectively. In addition, participants who were monitored for 48 weeks successfully maintained mean losses of initial body weight of 7.5% and 8.6% for 300 and 400 mg/day respectively.During chat with his doctor I found out Wellbutrin is successful with weight loss with his patients.
I couldn’t find the reason why Wellbutrin cause weight loss, if I know almost every other drug he has been using caused weight gain. Then one doctor told me Wellbutrin is normally used with kids, without any special side effects.Weight gain ranged between 15 and 40 pounds for those on antidepressants and between 75 and 125 pounds for those on mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotic drugs.

Have you noticed bigger and longer orgasms while taking this medication?
Layman’s terms.
Regulating mood with Wellbutrin will reduce appetite, and cause weight loss yet food will taste better which can cause weight gain.
Randomly stumbled on this channel and I find you super relatable! I’m also a CJ major:)
No you aren’t being dramatic. I experienced heartbroken when my father past. We were very close and i realized that I’d never be the same. Main reason why I’m in therapy and I’m also taking wellbutrin. I wasn’t sleeping so im taking Trazodone too. I digress. U look great stay strong and I really appreciate ur honesty. I subscribed right away.
I wish this was something I could understand. I am soooo lost
Hey girl, I have had different meds make me dizzy. You would think yours would be better by now…hope relief comes soon. I can relate to the sleep problems…�� Since my accidents, my sleeping is sooo crazy! I hope that gets better soon, too. hugs
heartbreak is sadly an amazing diet right? I lost 20 in two weeks
i havethe same dizzyness but only when i stare at my phone at night time..so it maybe related to staring too long or maybe staring into a light too long
Dude your transformation is amazing, keep up the good work! Also I’m so sorry you had to go through a rough time �� keep your head up
Wow. I am going to have to watch this several times to get this.
Now reports are saying anticholinergic antidepressants increase the likelihood of Alzheimer’s, Wellbutrin is one of them. Over 10 years, I was on Wellbutrin, and amyloid white plaques were seen on a MRI, of my brain.��I went off of it for years. I’m back on Wellbutrin and worried about the long term affects to my brain.. I was underweight on it, but when I stopped taking it I became obese. 100 pound increase. Now, back on it, In two weeks I’ve lost 5 lbs. FYI: name brand makes a huge difference for me. Generic XL is weak. I’m now on brand 100mg SR twice daily. If I don’t wean off of it, I’ll go back up to my previous daily dose of 300 mg XL. I’m not sure it’s worth the risk of dementia ��
I just started Wellbutrin and I’ve been on it for a little over 2 weeks now and everything you said is just about how I’m feeling so far too plus your too funny
Two weeks into bupropion, I definitely see a difference. I no longer binge eat and my portion sizes are smaller. Do you think this will continue or does the longer you stay on this drug this feeling is likely to go away?
So, was it the Wellbutrin you started taking that helped you to lose all the weight?
How do you drink caffeine with Wellbutrin? I’m so jealous, I have terrible side effects mixing the two.:/
I’m on day 20 and I’m not noticing anything other than I seem to be really agitated
So dose Bupropion sr 150mg makes u loss wait can someone tell me
I want a work out routine! I can’t like this video enough. I have been dealing w exactly the same things rn and this felt like a sign I needed. Thank you!
I’m starting my medication today. You da best. Orange chicken is fried chicken sis��
So glad you posted this video I need help losing weight. I actually have a drs appointment next week on Thursday I’m gonna ask her how to lose weight because I’m excercising and it’s so stressful because I eat so much especially when I’m sad and depressed I eat and eating is how I cope when I have a problem… great video though!
Wow I thought you explained it really clearly. You can’t help it if people can’t think and listen. This made a lot of sense to me.
I am literally going through this right now. My boyfriend dumped me two weeks ago and the heartbreak made me unable to eat at all. I’ve lost so much weight and I’ve really been trying to eat, but I just can’t stomach more than maybe one meal a day, if that. I also work out because it’s the only thing that helps my stress and makes me somewhat tired so I can try to sleep, but sleep hasn’t been good either. Thank you for posting this video, I needed to see this right now. Transferring to Sam Houston this Fall, majoring in Criminal Justice, so at least I have that to look forward to.:)
If you get a chance stop on by my blog. Looking for opportunities to connect and discuss topics and remedies for anxiety and depression. Thank you
https://anxiousbench.com/
Today is day 9 of taking Bupropion SR for me. They started me on 100mg for the first 7 days and now I’ve been on 150mg for 3 days. When I started the 100mg everything was great, I felt amazing and barely any side effects. Now that I’m taking a higher dosage I feel my heartbeat and feel like it’s irregular or just different. I have had a bit of insomnia but melatonin normally helps me with that and I’ve been having some headaches. Also, I will cry at things so easily and for no reason really, but then shortly after I’m totally fine.
Thank you so much for your update, it made me want to try and push through the side effects because I think this medication will really help me once my body gets used to it. <3
I totally get the dry mouth thing. Does that to me too. I’m also crying every day at random about the cute bunny rabbit I saw the yard and how sweet it is all the way to is this really all there is to life kind of thing. I’m just at two months on this medication and if this is how it’s going to be I can’t take it. This is so awful I feel like I’m not even functional
These things take time Cassy, but as always you do things at your own pace when you’re ready…take care��������
If your anxiety is less, is your happiness less, more, or the same?
i started taking it 7 days ago dizziness and slight nausea was my side effects i’ve just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder i haven’t taken anything for depression since high school so this is almost new to me i’m not gonna lie i feel great now i guess the wellbutrin had to get in my system good luck
It’s so crazy how the body works I have been through the exact same thing as you have with the break up and make up and break up and make up in I finally still broken up but during the break ups I would lose a lot of weight. And food would disgusts me. So yeah I agree with you when you break up with someone else like mourning of a loved one dying
I had to stop mid-video cause I was crying when you mention how your heartbreak made you felt & how it did to you. I’ve been there a few times with ex’s or just a guy I was only “talking” too but never gonna potentially be in an actual relationship with… My way of coping is bad. As you said with loss of appetite. If I had food in front of me, I’d push it away & start crying my eyes out. Even if I was hungry, I wouldn’t eat cause I was that upset, hurt and angry. I’ve put myself down so many times due to failed relationships that didn’t work out. There’s so much… /: I’m crying while writing this cause I’m trying to get over someone I never even dated.
Get to the point man no need to try and sound so smart with all the big words l know what they all mean its easy.
Let me answer the question for everyone instead of dragging it out.
Yes bupropion can cause weight loss. It can give you less hunger so you eat less there for you lose weight.
See how easy that was.
I took Wellbutrin for 2 years stopped during pregnancy. Afterward i tried getting back on it and had a really bad seizure out of no where. This may not have been what caused it but after the seizure, once the EKG was complete the doctor said Wellbutrin/ bupropion extremely lowers the seizure threshold making it very possible to have one. Scariest moment of my life and a painful few days following.
This made me feel better. Just started 150mg a week ago and I’m feeling emotional and anxious. I am hoping to have a success story like yours.
What’s up with the horrible warnings about getting seizures and I don’t like that you can’t have a glass of wine on this too scary
I love the help but you killed me on the dry mouth running on an on.
Thanks for the video I’m about to start taking 200 mg of wellbutrin and I wanted to hear other people’s experiences. Jah Bless
Great videos! Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve read so much about the generic versions. Some say they’re the same others say they feel the difference whenever the pharmacy changes their generic manufacturer. I’m curious if you’ve noticed the difference? Does the pharmacy change the manufacturer every time you pick it up? Thanks! I’m thinking of starting but I am worried about that a little.
let’s get married. Your words are magic and I love how you think. Smart guys are the hottest. ��
Great page
Helped me out a lot to help understands stages of this.

Anyone interested I have my 1 week bupropion update.
1 important thing I learned that someone told me is to eat When you’re hungry and if you’re not hungry don’t eat.
I’m a very emotional person and it effects all of my relationships because I’m very blunt about my feelings and overly emotional it’s not that I don’t like it but I want it to tone down some because I want to feel peace, my anxiety is also out of this world I start this soon I hope it helps me feel more motivated and happy like it did for you!
✋ Do you have other questions? Insert a comment here, for example:
“QUESTION: In 40 years, what will people be nostalgic for?”
My partner ended our happy relationship after 3 months off of this medication. He went from being rational and understanding to impatient and anxious and ended our relationship over things that were small. when i pointed out that stopping the meds may have affected his mood he was dismissive. Thankfully he has started involving his doctor and talking to a therapist. It was a mistake to stop this medication without therapy to go with it to ensure that stopping meds wouldn’t have a negative impact
25 lbs in 1 month! That’s crazy fast. I have been on wellbutrin for 2 and a half months and lost 20 lbs. It definitely curbs your appetite
Omg adderall is the best plus you will be losing much more weight with adderall
Eating veggies and fruit instead of processed synthetic pharma laced snacks can also assist in weight loss. Get off the drugs bro! Itisn’t good for you! You talk about getting addicted to junk food? What about to an ADDICTING, toxic drug like Bupropion? Lol, give me a break. That shit is poison, along with all the pharma pills they sell you for profits. Get off that shit and live a longer, healthier life!
I took that medicine before and it worked for quite some time. Then they came out with Lexapro so we switched me to it and I love it. I am so glad you are starting to feel the effects of it but it does take about a month to be fully in your system and working. Night terror and vivid dreams are definitely a side effect. Hang in there. Soon you won’t feel anything (like me) and it will be great. Don’t sweat the small things and the things you can’t change. Just go with flow. Love you sister!
Does it cause you to have hairloss? These were the only meds that help with my depression but after starting them I started having a lot of hairloss. It was horrible. But since I did take a birth control pill around the same time for 2 weeks I don’t know which was the trigger.
Hey there, just to let you know if you have a CDL the Adderall with show up as a positive drug test, I drive semi trucks and have a CDL and they told me it’s a no no, I took Adderall in college and it was a amazing but after years on it, it lost it’s effect
Thanks Samantha! I started with 300mg yesterday after 6 months of 150mg. We’ll see! Your videos help a lot! ��������
i wanted to ask you about the sexual side
it did increase my libido
my question is wil lthat last or is it just for a short time?
PLEASE DONT TAKE ADDERALL.!!!! ITS METH DUDE. I KNOW, IM A RECOVERING METH ADDICT 4 YEARS SOBER
Could you please tell me about the sexual side, is going to stay increasing libido or its just for a short time?
Thanks
Still very pretty ⚘ Love your hair and nails ⚘ My �� is that God gives you Strength and Wisdom and that you feel calm. Thank You for your videos. You are a great inspiration ⚘��⚘��⚘��⚘��⚘��⚘��
I tried Wellbutrin for adhd but had severe dry mouth ��. How do I get over the side effects??
Hi I am on my third day of taking Bupropion HCL SR and it seems to be working fast as far as a decrease in my appetite and I don’t feel as moody. So maybe it is too early to for me to feel the affects, but today I did not eat much and it was my turn to cook dinner, all I had was small samples of what I cooked. So I will monitor for a month and see how this goes, on Monday when I saw my doctor I was 224 and my doctor was concerned. Yes I was eating like there was no tomorrow. Now I just feel so funny taking less trips to the fridge.
do you or anyone drink any alcohol while taking this medication? if so do you take it as normal or skip it for the day? how does that work?
I like your video, but please don’t put music in the other one.
Great video
Helped me out a lot to help understands stages of this.
Anyone interested I have my 1 week bupropion update. https://youtu.be/MglRuisG4Yk
i’m going to be starting this medication within the next few days, i’ve been on zoloft, prozac, and lexapro and all of them ended in a bad note, my body was just feeling weird and i had panic attacks that were so bad i wound up in the hospital. i’ve been recommended to take this, and i’ve done a lot of researching, and the positive effects are everything i lack on a day to day basis which is beneficial. i’m lowkey excited to start wellbutrin, on the other hand i’m not going to get my hopes up because there’s a good chance it won’t work. this cider helped a lot!
Im on buproprion and ive researched it. look it up, tons of people on buproprion gain tons of weight, and fast on this drug. people gain 40, 50, 60 and more pounds on this drug. dont believe everything you hear on the internet. check out some reviews of people who have actually been on this drug.
Love this video… you went straight to the point, thank you!
Did the wellbutrin cause heightened sex drive or did the withdrawals from dosing down cause it? Im on zoloft and wellbutrin but im really concerned about the zoloft and lower sex drive. Thinking about coming off zo and just doing wellbutrin
I’m a week in to bupropion XL 150mg. Been having a lot of trouble falling asleep the last few days. The first couple wasn’t an issue. I’ve noticed that I have a constant feeling of wanting/having to do something to keep busy with the exception of cleaning at my own home lol. I guess that’s partially because I spend my days cleaning other’s homes.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I’m so glad it’s working for you.
I’m in the process of quitting/detoxing from Bupropion XL 150mg. I was on it for 2 years for depression. It helped me a lot in some ways but it increased my anxiety and panic attacks significantly. I had to start taking an anti anxiety medication and a blood pressure medication and it still wasn’t enough to stop the panic attacks.
Ultimately I decided to stop taking the Bupropion to see if I can get my anxiety and blood pressure back under control.
How i can stop loosing weight? Is that a permanent side efect or it will go away?
Did you get acne on Wellbutrin? I’ve read some other experiences where people developed acne. I’m just worried about that.
Did u have side effects after upping ur dose. I just upped mine and my head feels werid idk I just feel blah is that normal
Hey, I stopped cold turkey lol. I’m a happy brother to see a brother speaking on mental health!! Are you single? Lol Thanks for the reminder with the focus I hate the fact that I lose concentration.
Thank You so much for this video. After my wife passed away I cried everyday for 7 years, it even drove my daughter away, which our relationship is still rocky. I’ve been on Wellbutrin for 5 months and noticed in a week my crying stopped, then started doubting myself saying, does this mean I don’t love my bride anymore? I too have suffered Panic Attacks way before she passed and was and still am taking Paxil daily and Xanax as needed. With Wellbutrin I haven’t been so dependant on the Xanax, and like you problems arise and it rolls off my back. I’ve also learned if someone in social media tries to argue with me I let it go, before I wanted to fight. I feel I should get bumped up on my dosage of Wellbutrin as well cause I exhibit the same things you described prior to upping your dose. Also, After my Wife died my daughter and I should of seeked counseling, which I just tried maning through on my own and my daughter dug deep into school work, graduated HS at 17 and went into the Air Force, which she’s married now and 9 months pregnant. Thank You Sweetie for Caring and Sharing, Much Love!
I am currently taking 150mg wellbutrin and 150mg venlafaxin. venlafaxine was reduced from 225mg to 150mg at the same time. I currently have a headache every day, especially in the area of my temples and pressure on my eyes from the outside. hope the side effects subside soon. wish everyone good health and remains strong. Greetz from Germany ❤️ Edit: sry 4 the bad english
I’m on 450. It works and the side effects left pretty quick. I’ve been on it about 4 years
Ive recently started taking this and my sleeping pattern is terrible,i have really bad insomnia..Can you tell me how long it took your sleeping to come back to normal or wht cvhanges you saw after taking the medication?Thank you so much <3
Any idea how we can lose weight while on antidepressants… especially for the people who seem to gain fat while on them
Your too smart for you tube, but you could break your presentation down for what is essentially a layman audience.
I’m on day 2 of 10 days of weening off Wellbutrin. I can’t wait to get off it. It is not for me either Cassy. You are doing the right thing by working out issues without the use of drugs.
Get to the point! Too much by passing the issue which is Bupropion! I’m on Wellbutrin (Bupropion) and you just cause me more depression and anxiety waiting for you to get to the point.
Thanks for cutting to the chase. All of the other reviews on YouTube are like 20 minutes long with 19 minutes of that being useless information.
I am on Zoloft and Wellbutrin XL. Only been on Wellbutrin for 3 days now.
Basically what he’s saying is this drug keeps you feeling good and happy. So if you are happy and feeling good and satisfied, your not going to stuff your face to feel good happy and satisfied.
U hella cute ☺️ and thanks for the Wellbutrin vids it’s my 3rd day and need something to relate too in the process thanks
MishkaBear is handsome, thank you for the advice. I suffer from anxiety and was told to try this one.
Anyone smoking weed on this? (I’m 21 in a legal recreational state)
I didn’t even realize this could change my appetite until now. ive noticed is that I’m extremely hyper and my anxiety has increased..and I’m not as hungry
I am on Wellbutrin 300+300 a day in the last three years. I know I’m using it in larger amount than prescribed, but it has changed my life in better. Without any other side effect than an increase of libido, intended in general, freudian terms. Greetings from Italy.
CIAO IT’S DANIELLE to get to sleep, pick a time you want to go to bed and one hour before your target time, drink a cup of CHAMOMILE tea—let it steep and leave the bag in the cup as you drink it (if you can get herbal medicinal even better but if not, your local supermarket or health food store should have it). While youre doing this, turn the lights out in your sleep space and put your phone on airplane mode or do not disturb mode. Then go lay down when youre ready and meditate in your bed, focusing on your slow gentle breathing. Do this nightly.
Also stop drinking pop, it is poison.
Thanks for the video By the way, I am going to try wellbutrin
I was on Lexapro and ballooned from 145 to 185. Last month I got put on 150mg Wellbutrin but no weight loss it’s been upped to 300mg now so let’s see how the weight goes down hopefully. Only bitch I have is my sleep is erratic.
whoops! im sorry, i could be dead wrong. i was talking about olanzapine (zyprexa). sorry, im withdrawaling off of olanzapine, i got confused. he could be right, i dont know. my bad.
How are you doing on it now? I’m getting ready to start it for the first time today. I’m nervous because I’m reading it’s a stimulant.
You uploaded this at the perfect time for me, I found you through the first two videos. I am starting this medication in a few days to help with adhd and depression and your videos have made me very hopeful while also keeping more realistic expectations. I’m not expecting life to be rainbows and unicorns but I think I just need a little push to start developing better habits for myself. Thank you so much for these videos and I’m so glad to see youre doing better.
who ever uses Wellbutrin as a stand alone medication does a great mistake! It can be combined with Prazine 150 mg and Paxil 30 mg. Prazine will MINIMIZE the side effects of both Paxil and Wellbutrin.
I am actually on Prozac, it’s my first week with it, but I feel tired, there’s no motivation, I am not productive. Tell me about the difference between Prozac and Wellbutrin, thank you!
Hi I recently joined YouTube to record my weight loss journey. I hope we can follow each other and keep each other motivated.��
Great video
Helped me out a lot to help understands stages of this.
Anyone interested I have my 1 week bupropion update. https://youtu.be/MglRuisG4Yk
Thank you for a very through description about how Bupropion can assist with weight loss.
Hey there! I’m Joe. My doctor just put me on bupropion hcl 100mg twice a day. For the last 8 years I’ve been on citalopram 20mg. The reasoning is because lately I’ve been getting horrible nightmares. Have you experienced any nightmares on bupropion?
I am here for you lady. Anytime you need to talk you can reach out to me. [email protected] gmail.com
Does it cause dryness down there? �� I keep hearing it does and that’s the only thing that’s stopping me ����
question.if u have a bad heart should i use that medication?
I have to go to college and then watch this video I didn’t understand nothing
P.s thats his loss. Id punch him in the face for u if u could lol
Have you noticed any weight changes within a year of taking it?
Would this help with a teen that is on the spectrum ( autism ) she is depression and has anxiety with behaviors. She is on a medication now which has made her so so big I’ve got to help her with the depression and anxiety but help with weight. I really need help for myself with depression and anxiety and I have to help my daughter. Can anyone help me
I’m starting it again. Second time around. I never reached 300 mg and my Doctor wants me to reach that dose this time. All the best to you! My birthday is September 17th.
So you’re intermittent fasting and working out! That’s great. ��
I suffer from depression since a teen and was off and on meds. I was on a combination of meds in 2017 including Wellbutrin XL and I took all of mine at night cause the meds made me drowsy. I mean it help but I believe a combination of meds, and therapy was the best. And last year I came to the decision to get off the meds because of trying to conceive and my regular doctor who prescribed it to me even said I would have to be off all meds in order for that to happen so it took about 6 months to get completely off and I still receive therapy and I believe everything is now very maintainable with just the therapy.
Y’all might think I’m crazy but I’m hoping to get to 110 pounds I’m currently 124 pounds and tomorrow will be my first day on bupropion.
What’s so sad is often times we let our own self down. I let myself down so many times. When I’m sad and depressed I eat. I cry. I get angry and mad at myself. I pray to God because I don’t know what to do at times. God is always there when we are at our lowest point in life. He’s there to walks through.
I started to drink a lot of water as well. Also walking is a good source of exercising as well as drinking vinegar water. After I eat breakfast I drink a small pint of vinegar water and then during the day I walk and by the time the week is over I already lost two pounds. I actually lost 10 pounds doing that but ever since I hit walk bottom I’ve gained all that weight back. I’ve been having low self esteem, motivation was low I became so anxious everyday and sad sometimes but most importantly I’m getting my life back on track I’m focusing on my self and my relationship with God.
There was one girl that just yaped and I couldn’t take her anymore. Thanks for getting straight to t point. My doctor prescribed by t to me. Great video brother. Thanks for taking the time to inform us on it. I’m just feeling the effects kick in and had to lay down while tripping on this lol.
I’m sorry but I can’t finish this video..I feel like my head it’s spinning cause you keep rambling about one thing and other thing..I just lost 7 minutes of my life..this actually gave me anxiety
I wanted to address the whole seizure concern for you for the people in the comments. I know MOST of that comes from abuse. Taking more than 300MGs can cause seizures. People snort this stuff and or take additional pills when they forget a dosage. Allot of addicts are prescribed this medicine to offset withdraws. That was my main concern but I was put on 150 and I have not issues.
What has it done for me? It is easier to list
1. Weight lost instantly I have been on it about three weeks now and I’ve def dropped at least 15 lbs or so. Clothes are getting big I may need to get more clothes that fit me more now. I was 200ish but am down to about 180something
2. Perfect sleeping (per my smart watch) but I must say this is combined with Seroquil
3. No more Anger, BUT!!!!!! when you first start some people get rage and I experienced that for about 3 days to a week and then it went away. I had a very short fuse during this time but haven’t had issues since
4. I take Zoloft also and as you know Zoloft itself is used for sexual benefits as well (though I take mine for depression and anxiety) combined with the Bupropion means I am revved up and have reverted to days in my teens. My drive has gone way up and so has my stamina.
5. I know this goes against #3 but again after a week or so I tend to have a different outlook on things and notice that I did not get mad over small things I used to. I’m very nice and open to alot of things I would have normally blown a fuse about.
6. In a state with REC MJ and it only adds an additional layer of euphoria so it increases the effects but your munchies are WAYYY reduced
7. I have only taken a FEW shots while on the meds. I have not taken meds and then drank. I take my meds first thing in the am when I wake up and the two times I took shots I experienced nothing different than any other time I took shots.
8. I am surprised people have not mentioned the motivation. I do allot besides just working a 9-5 (not on this channel but others) and I was not motivated to do anything. I had given up but this medication IMMEDIATELY changed that. For some people their system accepts it quicker than others and well I started projects that were otherwise dormant. My motivation is WAY up
9. Focus, I game I text I write I do alot and this has kept me inline. Before I was able to get easily distracted but not i get so focused that sometimes I block other stuff out to the point I don’t even recognize it. Nothing dramatic but just a good focus on what I am doing.
10. Anxiety hate going out during this national crisis? That’s how I felt all the time before the meds. Now I am much more open to going out and enjoying the world though I do it very close at my home alone and away from others. I am not going to be a victim of this virus.
11. Feeling better about everything. Myself, life, more loving, caring and less reaction to issues with my emotions.
I am sure I left out things but I wanted to give an update for everyone on someone who recently just started this for a bit under a month and already experiencing these great things. Yes this can lead to weight loss but it also can lead to weight gain. I see alot of people asking her or mentioning her weight and just let people be who they are and remain happy. Not everyone is perfect, not everyone wants to be a stick or “socially acceptable” these days with all these fake bodies and booties out here. The pill can cause you to feel like you can eat whatever you want and not gain weight but it can plateau and this is how people gain weight on the pill. Still eating fast food, junk food and not worrying if it will catch up to them.
So let me answer no it does not make you gain weight, you lose weight and please stop asking her about her personal weight situation, it’s probably uncomfortable for her to answer and she still looks beautiful so there is the answer now please stop asking her directly. I think enough people have commented about the weight loss success.
Anyways sorry to type a book but I hope this may help someone who has questions and are still searching for answers. You can feel free to locate me and email me with any questions on the drug as I do not plan on stopping the pill unless otherwise advised by my doctor.
Hi Samantha well wishes to you and thank you for being so transparent.
Just started mine today.. I am hoping for the best for me…
I’m on Wellbutrin XL 300mg too and it has been a life saver for me and my depression. It’s what’s stopping me from hurting myself right now. I have no complaints.
I remember after my breakup food tasted so bland and sad. I cried while eating my favorite comfort food and then didn’t eat again for a couple days.
Omg, I have horrible insomnia. I take bupropion 150mg 2x daily. Sleeping is never on my agenda unless I take melatonin. I’ve stayed up til 5am most nights and slept through noon or 1:00pm. I’m never hungry on these meds. I take three bites of somthing and then I’m full the rest of the day. The emotional part of being able to feel anything, right now I’m on 6months and I know I should be happy but I don’t feel happy. I’ll act happy but I think like you said I don’t feel true happiness. I know I should in the moment but I don’t. I still get anxiety though because I get like vertigo and it’s strange. Like my body feels extremely heavy and I feel like the works around me is shaking like you would to a glass ball. But I don’t get angry over stupid shit anymore which I like. I can’t focus to save my life.
Black and speaking on mental health. New follower here. Can’t wait for your update. I’m currently on month 2 with a low dose of Ritalin and today my doc wanted to start me back on Wellbutrin.::shrugs::
Your intelligence intrigues me….�� I’m on this medication btw
The angle of the dangle is perpendicular to the level of the bevel.
What happens to the respective receptors when you spark the owl..?
Omg the same thing happened to me.. I was dumped out of nowhere and found out about another girl and was devastated… Everytime I would think about him and her together it would literally make me sick.. But I’m on bupropion now and living a better lifestyle free from tears lol plus the weight loss has been incredible
I love your videos on Wellbutrin! I’ve been on it twice now. I can’t remember why I even stopped taking it after the first time. I’ve been on other anti-depressants but they stopped working, Celexa, Lexapro, Trintellix, they all stopped working after a few months. Wellbutrin is the only one that really works and gets me to stop hurting myself and stop my crying spells. It’s been a real life saver for me. Thinking about also making a video for Wellbutrin on my channel as well.:)
I got bupropion 150 Sr which I don’t know about the “sr” is it more of a weight loss one?
Thank you for sharing your experience with Wellbutrin! This Tuesday I will be on 150mg for two weeks..I’m not quite sure yet if it’s made a difference or not. I did notice that when I got upset I wasn’t crying as intensely as I would have been. Which is good because the level of sadness I was experiencing was unhealthy I think. Like feeling TOO MUCH, if that makes sense. So idk ����♀️ we shall see..the emotional numbness factor does make me a little nervous bc I don’t want to be a zombie but I’m not rly experiencing that and if I do, I’ll try and hang in there and see how it unfolds.
Looking forward to a little weight loss lol
But overall, thank you, starting an anti depressant can be scary so it’s comforting to know I’m not alone:)
Dude your transformation is amazing, keep up the good work! Also I’m so sorry you had to go through a rough time �� keep your head up
Did you have any bad dreams when starting it? I hear that is a side affect vivid bad dreams.
My wife started this yesterday. I’m in the dark about this prescription. Thank you ❤️
So, what was that Starbucks drink? �� it was very green
I figured that a CJ program at Sam would have pushed a bunch of psych courses. During the initial stages of despair the sympathetic nervous system kicks into high gear. Like think about the evolutionary purpose. You’re out scavenging for some berries and you see a big op saber tooth nab your bestie. The SNS kicks in so you can fight the cat or run. This is definitely exacerbated during finals/sleep deprivation when adrenal hormones are close to the adrenal gland’s threshold. I don’t mean to be condescending or insulting with this comment, but I figured a practical(ish) explanation could help in your educational/work field.
I checked and it’s said you can still take your antidepressants while pregnant. It’s relatively safe but it’s recommended to at least try to lower it and then go back up postpartum.
Just left adderall for bupropion. If u have anger adderall will enhance dramatically. Or did for me. Told everyone what i thought with NO care of what may become of relationships. Take at on risk. Say all this with love. BE SAFE.
Did you loose weight? If so how much? I definitely wouldn’t want to lose more than 10lbs
This Sunday will be 3 weeks on Wellbutrin. I love it. I do have a lil insomnia. But when I go back to sleep it is a deep sleep. So I’m okay. I also feel more happy and lovable. I can finally relax. Before I felt like I had to stay busy at all times! I’m okay thank god.
What you describe sounds like your body may have already been primed for the anxiety, from experience. Does that make sense?
Hello,
I’m really glad this medication has worked for you.
I’ve been taking Prozac for like 10 years. But I never liked it because of side effects. Mostly sexual. Which caused me for me and my wife have a lot of problems because of that until she left.
So I went through a really dark time which I still am but not as bad as before I started wellbutrin.
I’ve been on it for like three months, the fist two months I took 100mg SR and overall it was ok. Also I was working out so I think that helped too.
But then the Pandemic came so I started getting depressed and anxious again, so I went to my doctor and stated on 150mg XL.
Aftet a month on it, I’m feeling really depressed and anxious again.
So I really don’t know what else to do anymore, I just want this to end.
I’m on day 8 now. I have noticed I’m more motivated and energetic these last few days. But I also feel insecure since I started. Like my self esteem is just gone. Will this stop eventually or is it just something I will have to deal with on wellbutrin?
Great Job In Explaining.. Extremely Informative.. Two Thumbs Up…
Every single video I watch where someone is giving their testimonials about Wellbutrin, the person has some serious manic vibes which I’m not sure they’re even aware of. I’m always hearing labored breathing and rapid fire runon sentences. I’m a little worried now…you sound totes spun here.
Hi Danielle, I’m not sure how old this video is, but I’ll ask anyway. I am on pill 4 no real side effects except yesterday driving I seemed foggy, and it snowed to boot. I take Paxil for Anxiety and I take the Bupropion for Depression. Ok, I’ve noticed something increasing. I’m very emotional ever since my wife died, now I feel it inside but no tears? Kinda Good I’m not bawling all the time, but I hope I’m not so Stoic that I’m not my bubbly self. I was a big Diet Coke drinker and Coffee and kinda stopped cause I heard people say caffeine will give you anxiety with this med? I finally been sleeping way better at night, where as before I was like you up all night, maybe caffeine? Ok I’m gonna follow you on Instagram. Thank You for the great video.
I’m confused, were you starting Wellbutrin or getting off of it?
Weight loss can be a helpful side effect.
I was going to say I’m surprised you can take Wellbutrin with Adderall. Those are both kind of speedy, it seems that they might act synergistically and get you more wired than would be comfortable. So that makes me think you were quitting Wellbutrin. The description says thirty days, but not what ��
Does anyone know why YouTube moved the comments? And where is the description box, period? Lol… I can’t find it! Girl, I just watched a couple of your videos! You’re very down to earth and relatable. I might subscribe. I’m a new YouTuber btw.
Currently on both, one for major depression and the other for a sleep condition and ive got to say the two combined is amazing to say the least. For me the only downside which really isnt one to me personally is a laser like focus to the point where i can become rather agitated with anything that conflicts with accomplishing whatever it is ive set out to do. That aside Adderall really is that damn good. Best of wishes on the journey boss.
Thank you for this update. I started taking Bupropion 6 days ago, and many of the side effects hit me after day 3 or 4. I was freaking out, especially because of the abnormal heart rhythms I have been noticing. I wanted to give up taking it but after watching your videos I felt more at ease. I hope it will get better and thanks again!
Bro, I just cold turkey got off adderall yesterday. It sucks you in and traps you. It’s an amphetamine. You become dependent upon the “high” and motivation/energy it provides. It puts so much stress on the body to run at that level. Just beware
Thank you so much. I was absolutely concerned about emotional numbness. This is the beginning of my 3rd months, I still experience high heart beat and anxiety for about 4-6h after taking the pill, but throughout the day I begin to feel better. Again, thanks to your videos! ❤️
Good vlog, you helped me to realize that I need to take better care of myself. No excuses, our body is a temple. You rock!
Thanks for the review. I just started 300 mg today so let’s see how this goes.
