Does Wellbutrin make you sick?

Question

I've been taking it for a little while now. It worked great at first, but now it is making me itch! Grr...I had to get Zyrtec to stop the itch. I could continue to do that, but obviousy my body doesn't like this drug, so I really don't wanna take it. Also, it makes me nauseas (sp). I'm also scared of having a seizure when I drink. Any suggestions or other anti-depressants that may suit me better?

Answer 1

The best anti-depressant comes from within one's self. Our society is hooked on these drugs, and many people are taking them who have no business taking them at all. I can speak from personal experiences by telling you that these drugs have very unpleasant side effects, and the long-term effects are still unknown.

As a matter of fact, do an internet search on the phrase "tardive dyskinesia and prozac" Although some anti-depressants are not SSRI, many are, and many cause long-term neurological damage. YES, brain damage! This brain damage is chemically induced and is caused by an excessive amount of seritonin in the brain. When this occurs, a person develops twitches uncontrollably. Unfortunately, those people who develop this uncontrolled twitching, or tardive dyskinesia, approximately 25% of those cases are permanant to varying degrees. What's amazing about these anti-depressants that the drug companies do not openly talk about is this fact: when SSRIs and other similar substances are released into the neural systems of the brain, there is no concrete method of being able to tell which part of the brain the anti-depressant drug will be routed to!!! It's a very crude way of dealing with depression, and should only be used in the most severe forms of mental illness.

There are people who do have depression that is severe enough to take these kinds of potent medications; however, this type of necessity is a minute representation of the population. The drug companies are in the business to be in business - - they are not in the business to "help people" as so many people would like to believe.

Unless the disease is extremely severe, one should deal with depression by talking with others and sharing their thoughts and feelings, exercising, therapy, getting involved with organizations in the community, making friends, and going on a date.

Important information

You should not take Wellbutrin if you have seizures, an eating disorder, or if you have suddenly stopped using alcohol, seizure medication, or sedatives. If you take Wellbutrin for depression, do not also take Zyban to quit smoking.
Do not use Wellbutrin if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and others.
Wellbutrin may cause seizures, especially in people with certain medical conditions or when using certain drugs. Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions and the drugs you use.
Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking an antidepressant. Your doctor will need to check your progress at regular visits while you are using Wellbutrin. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.
Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor, such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.

I've been on wellbutrin for a good while and haven't noticed any side effects . Of course I don't drink , so that may account for some of the reason . It does say on the bottle that you should avoid alcohol while taking this drug , I would suggest trying to curb your drinking for a while . It wouldn't hurt . Just a suggestion , not meant to be sarcastic .

Best I can offer is looking into www.Herbalhealer.com sign up for free over the net and ask the owner. I helped someone over come a lethergic state of mind by making her go for walks on a nature trail every day took 6 weeks before I could see light in her eyes. I once helped a suicidal man by telling him talk a lunch and go into the woods talking to God and staying till he got an answer ...he called later and told me I saved his life..... each person is different on what they need.... I myself got down and tried Wellbutrin but only took it a few weeks so didn't have any side affects. Went to walking the trails *S* and talking to God...

Answer 5

don't drink and take wellbutrin. Sounds like an allergic reaction and according to the possible side effects listed on my sons' wellbutrin if you notice a rash or itching or swelling or dizziness or trouble breathing you should contact your doctor immediately.

Answer 6

I took that poison for years and it did nothing but make me suicidal and weepy. Drinking never had any weird affects for me, but everyone is different.

I think your body is telling you something. These "anti-depressants" are not cool. They make things worse, but the politicians richer.

I've tried EVERY anti-depressant except for prozac. Every single one of them had a terribly adverse affect on me and I wouldn't wish the twitches and brain spasms on anyone.

My personal advice - suffer. Seriously. If we can't make ourselves better, nothing can.
