I have been depressed on and off my whole life but have never really done anything about it... but lately I can't seem to get out of it so I went to my primary doctor. I told him about my recent weight loss and he prescribed me wellbutrin so it wouldn't make me gain weight. At first I was excited to be starting this and looking forward to feeling better, but now I'm nervous! I've been reading about it on the internet and it seems to have some bizarre side effects like mood changes and the like. I am also only 23 years old and drink socially often, I've read this is going to be a problem. I am not a binge drinker and usually only have 2 or 3 beers, but read it greatly effects how drunk you get. I also have minor, what I would consider normal, anxiety and do not want that to get worse.
I guess I am wondering what kind of experience those of you who take Wellbutrin have had? I should mention that I do have the generic budeprion sr and am supposed to working my way up to two 150mg pills twice a day.
Thanks!
