Bupropion xl 150mg

I need some advice. I have been on bupropion xl 150mg for 7 days now. I been having anxiety, still feeling really depressed and lightheaded. The good thing i have been able to sleep at night and eat something here and there but whats getting me is my depression and anxiety. How long did it take you for it to kick in? My dr said it takes 4 to 6 wks 😑
Should i hang on and keep taking it or should i ask my dr to bump it to 300mg?? And if i bump it will it make my depression and anxiety worse? Been feeling really depressed off and on all day. When i do get depressed i just feel like i am going to lose it!
I have tried antidepressants 6 yrs ago only lasted 5 days and i quit because it made it worse.for 5 yrs i have gone with no medication for my depression but now i couldnt control it anymore so i went to see my dr. I dont want the side effects to scare me off again.
If the dr does bump it to 300mg should i ask dr to precribe me something for anxiety?i called my dr yesturday and they told me i cant see her until nxt month. Then they told me to call the pharmacy and ask details about bumping my mg. Pharmacy told me i had to talk to my dr for thqt. I called dr back again and they told me that the nurse that talks to the dr wasnt there to call tomorrow. Well i called today and was told that the nurse wasnt there today so to call tomorrow so she could talk to my dr about bumping it smh!! What if my depression gets severe .am i suppose to wait for a month to see the dr ! Im just so fustrated. I spend thw time on google looking up things about bupropion. It was probably a bad idea since now i am starting to think that bupropion might not be working since i read alot of reviews how the generic brand for wellbutrin dont help at all. But my mother is on it for 4 months and said its helping her. I should stay off google i am probably making my anxiety and depression worse. Makes me feel confused, doubtful about antidepressants ever working. Since i also read people saying nothing worked for them so now i am thinking i am going to be depressed for the rest of my life feeling hopeless.sorry for typing so much. I dont know who else to talk to since i cant talk to the husband about it because he is against antidepressants. God bless

Thanks ! I worry to much. I over do it sometimes😏 Not a good thing but i am going to keep taking it. 7 days is a big accomplish for me since last time i only lasted like 5 days .thanks once again 😊

Taina81, I can relate. It used to be that an antidepressant would work quickly for me but after about 20 years that doesn't happen anymore. But, it can take weeks for an antidepressant to kick in, so be patient. I know it's hard, very hard. I am going through a similar thing myself. Wellbutrin worked really well for me at 150 mg. I wish I could go back on it but I had side effects from it. Counseling also helps and doing nice things for yourself to get the stress levels down. I need to take my own advice on that one!
