Wellbutrin XL?

Question

Has anyone taken Wellbutrin XL? When you first started it were there any major side effects?

Answer 1

it is a stimulant.. albiet an abnormal kind, because it stimulates without increasing confidence.. so at large doses a person is anxiuos because they are caused to think a ton without the cofidence of increased dopamine... funny, cus bupropoin is supposed to be a dopamine agonist.. i presume it effects receptor subtypes that are not well documented.
any sexual "side" effects will be good. other than that, if you were very unusual you might be anxious.


sorry for the long wind.. 100-200mg you might feel a bit motivated, or a bit anxious. thats about it... very very very few people have seizures.(more likely to win 100,000)

Answer 2

I have previously been on the regular Wellbutrin with no problems what so ever. Then I stopped taking after many months because I didn't need it. However due to being laid off, stress and worrying constantly I needed to get back on something. Due to a lack of job and money this time around I got the generic form of it. I have taken it so far 8 days. And yesterday I broke out with like welts all over that itched. Plus my lip swelled up about 3 times it's normal size. I started taken benadryl because I didn't know what caused it and figured it was an allergic reaction to something. Last night I was also extremely restless and could not sleep. I woke up today with more welts in different places and very itchy hands and palms. My hands are now swollen and the itching will not stop no matter what I do. So I didn't take it today and am calling my doctro right away tomorrow. So to make a long story short I definately see a difference between the generic and regular brand. Hope that gives you some insight.
