wellbutrin?

I was just prescribed wellbutrin for what may be depression,
im on 300mg a day, starting tomorrow.

What im wondering, will this affect muscle growth or anything at all?

Robocop does not need muscle.

it might affect your moods and eating

I take Wellbutrin XL, 300mg every day for a year or so. Haven't noticed any changes in body comp, or appetite. My mood is defiantly better though, and it defiantly has a positive impact on libido.

OOH, it HELPS libido?
cuz ive heard antidepressants can worsen libido, and i have had minor problems lately.
Also, how long did it take for you?


And are there any interactions with the following:
vitamin c, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin b6, rhodiola rosea?

And what are your experiences about drinking while on wellbutrin?

Wellbutrin may not cause side effects to everyone but my doctor prescribed it to me a couple of months ago and I swear that night I thought I was having a heart attack with pain in my left shoulder I thought I was going to die that night.So be carefull with prescription medication I would go the natural route but thats me.And it wasn't due to high cholesterol levels either and when I stopped taking it the pain went away.
There has never been a pharmaceutical company that has come out with a medicine that cures disease NONE!Only masks the symptoms just my 2 cents.

Good insight, im nervous about this because i have no experience in this stuff.

bump for my questions two posts up, and also

When you come off of it, how are the withdrawals, and after will you just go back to feeling how you did before starting?

I don't know about libido but I would definitely not drink while taking it glopped.You shouldn't get any withdrawals when you come off.I would do a search on the web and do some serious research before taking any pharmaceutical drug.Good luck glopped!

Ya ive been reading a lot so far, but would still like some of your guys input

Also, i read that rhodiola rosea is an MAOI, so should i stop using that before starting wellbutrin?

Or is it not strong enough to make a difference

I was prescribed this a year ago, 150mg's a day and it turned me into an absolute zombie. it was incredible. I stopped taking it cause I literally couldn't do a damn thing. I lost like 15lbs cause I had no appetite. I didn't even think about going to the gym.

I had a terrible time after I stopped taking it....I just cut it off. shocks all day long.....it was terrible.

sorry man.

Well ill find out how it affects me i guess


and bump for the questions regarding rhodiola and withdrawal!

Is this the same thing as Zyban? If so, I took this stuff to quit smoking a while ago. One of the worst experiences of my life. I had hallucinations, shaking, tremors, difficulty breathing etc. Had to stop the course after a couple days as the sides were getting more and more severe.

Ya its the same thing, just different brand.
Did you have any symptoms of depression before, or was it just to stop smoking?




ALSO, can ANYONE tell me if rhodiola affects wellbutrin since its an MAOI?
And when you stop taking wellbutrin, do you just go back to where u were before you started taking it?

last bump

it is definitely an anorectic- make sure you eat!

Withdrawal from any antidepressant will be BAD if you stop cold turkey. You have to taper down the dosage to get off the stuff. I would ask your Doctor about the MAOI, but I'm 99.9% sure that a combo of an antidepressant and an MAOI *CAN* be deadly. Hence why they tell people who take SSRIs to stay away from Yohimbe. Wellbutrin, unlike most antidepressants, is apparently an NRI and not an SSRI though, so like I said, check with whoever prescribed you the medication.

As for the libido thing. My experience with antidepressants is that it makes it nearly impossible to climax most times. No increase in sex drive for me, but stamina is through the roof. If you end up getting it anything like I have it, you most likely won't like it at all.

"And when you stop taking wellbutrin, do you just go back to where u were before you started taking it?"
What exactly do you mean by this?

should have been clearer, oops

I used it just to help with quitting smoking. It definately helps in that regard,but the sides were just too crazy for me to continue taking this stuff!

thanks for the info. I actually take cellexa now and I feel pretty damn good and it's only 7 bucks for a 2 month supply. no side effects other than chilling me out.

Yes, absolutely. Wellbutrin is a blood level drug which builds up in your system and will help you as long as it is in your system. When you stop taking it, after a week or so, everything should go back to the way it was before you took it.

I've been on Wellbutrin for about a month, only thing I noticed is a slightly decreased appetite

Taking Celexa and Wellbutrin is unlikely to have a direct impact on your biceps. These medications are typically used as antidepressants and are not known to affect muscle development. Factors like exercise, strength training, and diet play a more significant role in muscle growth. If you have concerns about how these medications might affect your health or fitness goals, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional or fitness expert for personalized advice. I've come across a reputable online pharmacy with great discounts at healthy-rx-life.com They offer fast shipping, competitive prices, and even free airmail delivery.
