welbutrin sr

Hi frank! Welcome to the forum, so sorry you have to be here. I'm on Wellbutrin XL (extended release) 150mg, increasing it to 300mg tomorrow. Your's is the sustained release, from what I've read I can't see to much of a difference between the two types.  My PCP told me to expect it would take about four weeks to see an effect. Hope you find some relief with it.  Have you been on any other anti-depressants, or is this the first time?

Thoughts & prayers are with you,

I have been on XL - 150mg for four days and have had a host of weird stuff. Muscle cramps, upset stomache, vision has a strange peirifferial thing going on, little headaches, Really wierd feelings and dreams, I have some mild sexual changes, feeling on edge, mild chest pains, I am not sure it is worth it but I have do something I feel like I am losing my mind. I hope it gets better, I am just about to the point where I am feeling uncomfortable with it. My sleeping has had very little change though and I am glad because I have sleep apnea really bad and will be having surgery for it soon. I have not had any sweating yet though but maybe that is yet to come.
