engravedshadow Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 ok, if yall have seen other posts of mine, i was on zoloft, but i had really horrible side effects from it, and i finally got them to change my mediciation! i am now on wellbutritun...i guess my question is what is other people's experience with wellbutrition? has anyone taken both zoloft and wellbutrition, and if you have, what did you see as a main difference?

r2mnot Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I took Zoloft a long time ago. It didn't help at all, and the side effects sucked. I took it over six months, so I don't think it ever would have worked for me. I've been on Wellbutrin just short of a month, and it seems to be kicking in. I don't have any side effects so far. I am taking a few other medications that may be helping it to work though. I hope it helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SashaSue Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Wellbutrin usually has fewer side effects than SSRI's do, it seems. YMMV, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdbee Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 zoloft is the only ssri i've never taken so i can't compare the two. i can say that all other ssri's make me want to sleep a million hours a day and wellbutrin doesn't. i dig it...but still have to be on a small dose of an ssri for the ocd. good luck !

engravedshadow Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 thanks for the replies everybody! wellburtion does seem to be working a little better, but i just started so we'll see. and ssri's make me want to sleep a million hours too, that was part of the reason i had to get off it. that and i was always nauseus on zoloft as well.

Mayteana Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Ssri's make me sleep like 20 hours a day. Wellbutrin does not. Good luck with it! ~ May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpuppy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Zoloft made me nauseous for the entire four months I was on it. Had nasty sexual side effects as well. I also had hand tremors and akathisia on Zoloft. Wellbutrin, on the other hand, has had zero side effects [other than the apparently very rare side effect of making my period 5 days late.] It has also worked fantastically for me, unlike Zoloft which never did anything other than make me sick with side-effects.

engravedshadow Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 it seems like it's working about the same with me. granted ive only been on it for a few days now, but i haven't had any side effects, expect for really weird dreams. but that i can handle.
