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.

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.

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?

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?Last edited by JCM87; 09-13-2010 at 09:59 PM. Reason: added more information

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. I've personally been satisfied with both their service and the quality of their products. You can reach out to them; they provide online support around the clock.
