Hi! I take Wellbutrin for depression. Can't say as it has helped in that regard but I like the side effect of loss of appetite and weight loss that I get from it.

Anyway, I looked it up on the net for you to find the side effects. A couple of them give me great concern personally that I wasn't aware about before.

<font color="blue">Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Wellbutrin.

Seizures are perhaps the most worrisome side effect.

More common side effects may include:
Abdominal pain (Wellbutrin SR), agitation, anxiety (Wellbutrin SR), constipation, dizziness, dry mouth, excessive sweating, headache, loss of appetite (Wellbutrin SR), nausea, palpitations (Wellbutrin SR), vomiting, skin rash, sleep disturbances, sore throat (Wellbutrin SR), tremor

Other side effects may include:
Acne, allergic reactions (severe), bed-wetting, blisters in the mouth and eyes (Stevens-Johnson syndrome) blurred vision, breathing difficulty, chest pain, chills, complete or almost complete loss of movement, confusion, dry skin, episodes of over-activity, elation, or irritability, extreme calmness, fatigue, fever, fluid retention, flu-like symptoms, gum irritation and inflammation, hair color changes, hair loss, hives, impotence, incoordination and clumsiness, indigestion, itching, increased libido, menstrual complaints, mood instability, muscle rigidity, painful ejaculation, painful erection, retarded ejaculation, ringing in the ears, sexual dysfunction, suicidal ideation, thirst disturbances, tooth*ache, urinary disturbances, weight gain or loss </font>

It does list 'mood instability' but I'm not sure if that would be the same as depression. Hope that helps. I'm sure somebody will be around to help you out further.

I'm kinda anxious now to find out more myself cuz my rapid cycling has gotten a lot worse since being on Wellbutrin.
