About two months ago I decided that I needed more therapy and was really feeling stuck in a rut. I went to see my phychiatrist and we decided that I would try taking Wellbutrin XL 150mg. At first I liked the feeling; it kind of made me feel speedy and energetic. About 6 weeks into taking the drug I suddenly became very depressed and hopeless. If I hadn't been depressed all my life and been used to deep low moods, I might have comitted suicide. I didn't realize until I was sobbing, sitting in my Drs office begging for relief, that it was the wellbutrin that was causing me to freak out. At that meeting my Dr., he demanded I stop taking the Wellbutrin immediatley. It has now been 3wks and I'm feeling a lot more in control. I dont know if I would have realized that the Wellbutrin was having such an effect on me if I wasn't aware of the possible side effects or how to read my body and thoughts. Who knows what would have happened. Just be aware of the side effects of any med you take. Good luck.
