I've been on Wellbutrin for a few months now, and at first it seemed to be doing really well (mainly because I was comparing it to what I was on before--Zoloft--and I got control of my appetite back, which I had lost during my time on Zoloft), but now I don't like it anymore.
I have extreme changes in mood on a daily basis. They are triggered by normal things that would upset someone, but instead of experiencing something on a small scale, it's like my brain jumps whatever emotion I'm experiencing up times ten... So if I'm sad, I get insanely sad and depressed and distraught, or if I'm anxious, I get debilitatingly anxious and paranoid, and even if I'm angry, I get so frustrated and just shut up in my head... I feel like I don't have control of my emotions anymore, and I hate it!
Am I right in assuming that the medicine is doing this? I know for a fact that I've never been this emotionally all over the map before, and it sucks a lot of energy (mentally and emotionally) out of me.
I don't have bipolar disorder, my moods have never changed like this until I got on this medicine (and specifically after it got bumped up to 300mg/day). Not trying to argue with you, just letting you know...
