I started on Bupropion to deal with my depression after I'd lost a lot of interest in a lot of things I'd previously loved like running, competing, exercise, etc. I was crying a lot for no reason, and my previous good self esteem was in the toilet. It really helped with the crying, but it increased my anxiety dramatically and I'd never had anxiety before. I also feel it made my emotion ... Show Full Comment

I started on Bupropion to deal with my depression after I'd lost a lot of interest in a lot of things I'd previously loved like running, competing, exercise, etc. I was crying a lot for no reason, and my previous good self esteem was in the toilet. It really helped with the crying, but it increased my anxiety dramatically and I'd never had anxiety before. I also feel it made my emotions very "flat". So instead of crying all the time I was having very few emotions even when I should be. I went from a formerly bubbly, motivating person (prior to the depression) to a quiet, withdrawn person who was too afraid to go outside and run and running has been my life for 15 years. I'm going to talk to my doctor about reducing the dose.

I have been taking Bupropion HCI XL 300 mg for about 10 years. It is the only medication that works for me with the least amount of side effects (dry mouth and itching). I do take an allergy pill as well. I don't walk around crying for no reason or get upset over little things. I don't have thoughts of wanting to die anymore. I quit smoking, cold turkey, 3 years ago and have remained a n ... Show Full Comment

I have taken this for aprox 7 months. I have extreme joint pain in my thighs, arm & thumb. I am currently in the process of tapering off of Bupropion. I am wondering if anyone else has had similar muscle / joint pains that have stopped & how long it took for you to feel normal again. I am miserable!!

I started taking this medication 2 days ago. I feel better, but I'm sure it will get even better than before. My lower back started aching within 24 hours and I'm hoping this subsides. I will tell my doctor in 3 weeks, but I see there are others with this symptom.
