My mouth is horribly dry & tastes awfully bitter and leads to my weight dropping from 110 lbs to 105 lbs in a month. I experience lots of neck pain and waking up at night. I have the worse b.m. irregularity and the worst flu in 20 years. I'm not sure those experiences are drug related though. I have most of the side effects listed.

I have had a great experience with this drug.

Wait at least one month before determining if this is the right drug for you (unless there are complications etc.)

Please give this medication a chance!! I had every side effect the first 2 weeks-month. I stuck with it and they subsided. I wake up every day ready to see my children! Loving on my hubby again! I took the starter dose and have stayed on the lower dose. My dr said I can increase in the winter months if needed, but I only did that the first season. I have been fine on the low dose.

No weight gain (maybe loss?) better energy, much better outlook on life. Been on about 2 years now.

Had major depression since about 14, went through Prozac, Lexapro, then Lamictal. At age 17 Wellbutrin was added to the Lamictal, then continued with just Wellbutrin when I got married at 18 and couldn't afford Lamictal anymore.

My father struggled with depression his whole life, and Wellbutrin is the one thing he found that also helped him.
