I've never used Wellbutrin, but I have heard both good and bad about it. It seems like any of the medicines...it works great for some and not so well for others.
I am taking it, now on week 5 with no results except lack of sleep. However, I have been rather sick and I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and I just now started on the 300 mg dose (was on 150 before) so I dont think I have given it a fair trial.
I plan to stick with it another month to decide if is worth it or not.
Wellbutrin is one of the newer antidepressant and what the doctor prescribed to me at first. For me, I would feel irritable and angry alot so I stopped taking it after 2 weeks. But it is true that different people react differently. I now take Celexa for a week and it seems to be helping me, but still too short to say I guess.
I have been on 150 mg for almost 2 weeks, and it seems like it is working. It seems it helps with self confidence--but as far as anxiety, it seems that it increases (especially when taken with coffee, anxiety goes thru the roof). I assume this is why Wellbutrin is not always prescribed as a first line medication for SP. It seems to help aleve some of the negative views of myself and shame, and helps me come out of my shell somewhat.
Cliffs notes: It works, but increases anxiety in certain situations (not really social situations!)
