Hi,
I hope you're doing well.:)

I was just reading your post response about welbutrin and hoping it would help with your memory. Mine is awful too. Forgetting what people just said, forgetting what I just said and repeating it, making to do lists them forgetting where I put them. It's so frustrating.

Anyway I was planning on talking with my p-doc about this or similar antidepressant on Friday.

Curious as to whether it helped your memory or energy/ motivation.

Thanks!

My experience of bupropion has been very good. It is the only antidepressant I have ever tried that has worked. I take 450mg daily in the XR formulation.

The only side-effect I experience is a slight tendency toward slower gastric motility, but given my diet, activity level, and other meds, it is never a problem.

its the only antidepressant that does not make me feel high or manic, I have had no side affects. But dont take ibuprofin, motril or any anti-anflamatory meds because they make welbutrin more potent. Meloxicam seems to not have this affect with wellbutrin

All bodies are different, but my experience with Wellbutrin was a nightmare as after taking it for a week I became the ultimate suicidal, panic attacks, hard to breathe - I actually took myself off of it immediately after leaving a message for my Psychiatrist.


But again, each body is different. If it makes you feel really bad contact your doctor immediately!


There are a couple variants in the make-up of antidepressants my doc told me, so I started taking Zoloft/Sertraline and I'm surviving on it.
