Why don't I feel even a little bit better? 10 days on wellbutrin 150mg and now 6 days on the 300mgs and I still feel NO different. Let me repeat what I said in my above post:
The WB was supposed to help my depression, help lose weight, bring my sex drive back and stop smoking. YEAH as I sit here crying, on the couch (seperate from hubby) smoking and with bon-bons next to me, I find that very hard to believe. I've been on WB 10 days at 150mg and now 6 days at 300mgs= NOTHING.
How long should this take? I've read that people reacted so quickly to the wb. Can anybody tell me in their experience: when did you lose your appetite? was is right away? When did you begin to lose weight? when did you stop smoking? when did you start to feel better? when will I stop crying????
I'm sorry to be such a pest, I just always get such great support from here that I can't help but asking for more....
Thanks in advance.

that what sux, especially if you give a med 3-4 weeks and it doesnt end up working. the docs like to say give it 3-4 weeks, but sometimes i feel an effect after a few days. you know your body. i would at least give it 3 weeks and if it doesn't seem to be helping, consider trying something else. pray for patience.

Same thing happens to me now doses that help other people do nothing for me. Does this mean you are a slow or fast metabolizer? Fondly, Phillipa

I'm not sure- most of the time I think it just means I'm crazy and nothing will help me. :-(

Control freak here too. It was very hard to convince myself to get on pills...I didn't have all these issues until after I had my daughter. Having my son was fine but she really threw me off (girls, go figure) I was fine on the lex, however it made me gain a lot of weight.
Now I'm just trying to be patient and not freak out or start crying. I would love to talk to you anytime. You can email me at mellymel_d@aol.com.
Nice to meet you stranger friend!

Have you tried xanex before? It really helped me when I was between zoloft and lexapro. BTW- I gained most of the weight from zoloft, only a few pounds from lex but still weight is weight to me and I'd love it gone.
I'm out of panic mode so if you need me you know how to find me :-) However I'm in depression mode so I might just sit and cry about whatever your problem may be...LOL
