    Default wellbutrin ladies??

    Does anyone find that wellbutrin has made them a little edgy?
    If so, does this side effect cease with time?
    I need it to bring back my sex drive thanks to zoloft but i find im alot snippier than normal.

    I'm not snippy, but I'm more easily annoyed by simple things/my sense of humor kinda disappears. I'm pretty sure it's from my Wellbutrin because if I don't take it for a couple days it goes away, but within a few hours of starting it again it comes back.

    <----Didn't take her Wellbutrin/Adderall/Prozac for a few days and started the Wellbutrin again today. Oops.

    Yes! It's why I went off it. Wellbutrin made me a raging bitch from hell. Every little thing set me off and the horrific insomnia didn't help either!
    I also got really ocd about pretty much everything and couldn't stop cleaning shit. It was like a stimulant for me but not in a good way.

    It did however make my sex drive go through the roof and took away my appetite. Not worth all the nasty side effects though.

    Do you have anxiety? Because wellbutrin is known to make anxiety worse with a lot of people which is a shame because it's quite helpful when treating depression.

    I've had great luck with Wellbutrin XL. It actually calmed me down, worked for my depression and got ride of my anxiety and improved my sex drive. When I look back at person I was before I started taking it I don't know how my husband and son, friends, family coworkers etc. put up with me. I'm a much better person today because of it

    ^^It totally takes away my crying spells. At one point I was crying over commercials on tv and not able to stop. Wellbutrin takes away shit like that and my desire to get out of bed came back too. So while I'm not quite as animated, it's what works on me. I've taken it for the past 10 years, and I've tried other anti-depressants in that time, but I always end up back on Wellbutrin. It's the only thing that works enough to make me not suicidal all the time.

    Yeah, I was irritable and almost in a manic state when I was on it. I'd clean all night become extremely forgetful and bitchy.

    A few friends have said I'm like 2 different people. When I'm not taking it I'm much more easygoing and not annoyed with much of anything, but within a day or so I'm crying over being in the grocery store and thinking everything wrong in the world is my fault. When I am taking it I get all kinds of shit done, I'm more focused on achieving things, and my 'gloom and doom' goes away, but I'm quicker to tell somebody they're a dumbass.

    It doesn't give me anxiety either, but if I layer my Adderall and Prozac on top I have *major* issues with a constant feeling of 'the world's gonna end go hide'. I guess when I start mixing it with things it changes how it affects me.

    Gosh, I can't imagine taking Adderall and Wellbutrin together. I would be a manic mess and the world would want to hide from me.

    The Adderall actually calms me down. There are days that I skip it to make sure it's still working and...yeah. Even my old porn agent would notice if I didn't take an Adderall, I was the most hyper person on the planet and kinda annoying. No that's a lie...very annoying.

    I just started wondering though...could the dose of Wellbutrin that a person's taking make a difference in whether or not they get anxiety or get edgy? I take a fuckload of Wellbutrin, so maybe it does things differently because of that.

    I only took 150 of the Wellbutrin XL and experienced irritability.

    I've heard that Adderall will actually calm people down who have ADHD.

    I thought that was the point of it..??

    The few times I've taken Adderall i was more awake and alert and focused.I wanted to get out of bed and was def able to get more done.

    But I already take so many prescriptions that I just dont want to ask for it again. I dont know...i am just tired of taking meds all the time

    ^^ It is, but I took it for fatigue issues so it had the opposite effect on me.

I'd not leave my apartment for days and curl up in a gross little mess of whimpering.
    OMG...that's me! I remember crying on the phone to my therapist one Sunday going, 'I'm a horrible person. Everything bad in this world is my fault, and everybody knows that and hates me for it. If I wasn't here the world would be a much better place.' I hadn't taken my Wellbutrin for a week and I swear I thought the end of the world was coming.
