Wellbutrin (bupropion): How did it go for you? Did it help?

I have taken Wellbutrin on and off for quite awhile now.
I’m super sensitive to med changes so I always need to slowly ramp up or taper down. You could ask your doctor about taking it every other day for a week or two and see if that helps your body adjust.
However I know quite a few people who just couldn’t take Wellbutrin due to the side effects you describe. They never subsided enough to make it worth their while, and switched to a different antidepressant.
You can also try Wellbutrin SR which may help. I’ve tried both XL and SR and personally I prefer SR for better sleep.
Good luck and hope your meds bring you relief from depression and anxiety!

@ashleyharris728 unfortunately the SR is not available where I live there is only the XL. The vision side effect has got a bit better already. Hopefully the other ones will pass too!
At the moment I still feel a little bit of anxiety especially in the evening, but it's not unberable. Let's see how it goes in the next few week. I wouldn't want to stop it as my motivation has come back and I've managed to go to the gym twice since I started, I also met with a friend which I kept posting due to the lack of motive, so overall it's working for me even if it's still early days
