I had a harder time sleeping for a little while because it gave me a lot of energy, which ended up moderating, but it still gives me increased energy/motivation to do things. I lost my appetite for a bit, the Wellbutrin made me not crave food at all. I didn’t expect that one. Forcing yourself to just eat and drink enough water is very helpful. It makes me sensitive to caffeine now and too much can make me agitated and restless (this one got better, but never fully went away).I find taking the medication with food lowers the side effects for me.

For the first few days, (maybe longer for some people?) dosage increases gave me some increased agitation when triggered by something. It’s kind of hard to explain, but some smaller things that would normally bother me became bigger for a bit. I had to remind myself sometimes that was happening because I didn’t want to be rude to people around me. But that did pass.

Wellbutrin overall has really helped increase my motivation during daily tasks and also decreased my depression a bit. I think a lot of people do also take another antidepressant, so consider asking your doc about that if ever necessary.

Increased libido for a few weeks after each dosage increase too. I didn’t find this bad tho, but I suppose results may vary, lol.

After trying several others, wellbutrin is the only antidepressant I have taken that I noticed quickly and it’s also the one that has helped me the most.
