In reply to Wellbutrin Side Effects...help!, posted by Carolyn on February 26, 2000, at 6:48:09
> I am taking luvox (which seems to have pooped out). My doctor first tried adding Prozac...no luck. Now we have substituted Wellbutrin for the Prozac. All went well for the first three days of 100mg, except for slight headache. Day 4 (yesterday) I became very agitated and restless. Went from barely being able to move to not being able to sit down! At least my bathroom finally got clean. However, with the agitation came a lot of disorder and confusion. All my activity accomplished not too much because I kept forgetting what I planned to do next. This was also the day I was to increase to 200 mg/day. I did it, with much trepedation. Did not have the same agitation after the second dose, which I took at 5 p.m.
> but was unable to sleep til 1 a.m. and up at 6. Also had some racing thoughts before going to sleep. Is this normal and will it go away as I adjust to the meds? Anybody?I experienced the same symptoms on Wellbutrin. Not only was I ramped up and agitated, but I had no appetite, didn't eat and blood sugar was a mess. Also had headaches and ringing in my ears. I didn't like the med and I was only on 37.5 mg. and told my psydoc I wouldn't take it. Zoloft works fine for me. No ringing, no amping. I was so agitated on it, my family got concerned.
