started Wellbutrin 150 mg XL about 5 days ago for depression. I have ADHD-inattentive which I take Ritalin SR for. Dr told me I'd feel anxious but this seems excessive. I told him I'm sensitive to meds and only require small doses.

Day 1- sobbing, rage and confusion feelings cycled every 5 minutes an hour after ta king first dose. Felt like i wanted to tear myself apart.. very uncomfortable. I was at work. I had to excuse myself quite often to a private room to compose myself, cry it out etc..
Felt jittery and happy later on in the evening.

Day2- rage, sky high anxiety... urge to move, move,move! Waves of bliss throughout the day. Felt so sexual that I was uncomfortable and almost went to a bathroom for release.

Day3- rage, impatience, sky high anxiety, urge to move again.. did kickboxing. Helped with anxiety but not serious irritation.

Day4-irritation.. blissfully, happy. Laughing. High sex drive.

Day 5- energy. Productive. Maybe things are looking up. Cleaned garage. Found belongings missing-raged. Took rage out on the old shoes found by throwing them against the wall and tearing apart paper. Rage continued for 6 hours. Tried to do calming hobbies. Had to get up and move. Restless all evening. Took sedating supplements. Fell asleep.

Day 6- So far today. Woke up feeling hungover : extreme physically burnt out. Falling asleep in chair. Took ritalin. More awake. Less anxious.. remaining hopeful this will work.

Is this pretty normal? I feel out of control most days since starting. Almost as if I'd rather be low energy and depressed than this..

If you are that sensitive talk with your doc soon! How high is your dose?

It can get worse in the beginning. If this doesn't get better after one or two weeks, then you should contact your pdoc about it.
