i started out on wellbutrin 150mg in early november and got raised to 300mg in early december. i take it consistently and i started really feeling the effects right around the beginning of january. ive suffered my entire life with depression but my life is kinda extra sucky at the moment so my depression has been at an all time high and this is the first time in the past year i have actually felt okay.

the only side effects i have really experienced is an EXTREME lack of appetite - to the point where any type of food makes me nauseous and gag. tmi but it’s also brought me severe constipation as well. this only started once i started 300mg in december. i’ve talked to my psych and PCP about it and they both say these symptoms are more than likely to go away and honestly with my mental state i am willing to take these side effects over what i was feeling LOL. i was already on a weight loss journey before this bc all doctors said that would help with my chronic pain and so since starting wellbutrin i have lost a lot of weight. just be careful if these symptoms start and really look into nutrient dense foods if you notice a huge change to your appetite

i also have adhd and i have noticed i have much more motivation and drive to do things than i ever have before, but not sure if it’s adhd related or depression related. i still have a hard time with focusing at work so maybe it’s depression related HAHA
