Is anyone on Wellbutrin and if so what dose. I took it years ago, and it helped the pain and fatigue ( and made me skinny`~~~ score!) but after a while made me have crazy anxiety attacks.

I've decided to have a go at it again and have been given 75 mg twice daily ( 150mg total) wondering if anyone is having any success for pain and fatigue at this dose. I'd prefer to get away with te 75 mg if at all possible.

Let's hope it helps with the potato chip habit like it did last time.

Thanks!

Txcola - I use to love that drug until I had a seizure on it. Now my Dr's willn't order it again. I think it was really an interaction with another drug, plus my magnesium was low. I also thought it was a great drug. I didn't like the long acting one because it would keep me up late. So I took the regular old version. Good luck with it.

I take wellbutrin 300mg xl, originally perscribed for depression. Fibro diagnosis came well after starting this medication, and in my opinion, does not seem to help with my fatigue or pain.

I have been recently diagnosed. Worked my way up to the 300mg XL but I didn't tolerate that well. I am now taking two 150 SR per day. It took about 4 weeks for me to feel any difference. More than anything it has helped with my fatigue and brain fog.

Last time I took it I took 150 sr once daily. It worked wonders for a long time, then increased the brain fog and caused freaky anxiety that was really bad. Once I weaned off of it, I slowly got back to my old self.

Then the fatigue, pain, and weight gain took hold. I gained 17 pounds, and the pain and fatigue were intolerable.

I hopeful it will help at this lower dose, as I am scared of the anxiety.. So I am anxious. LOL..

I take 300 mg (in the morning) for depression,..of all the antidepressants I've tried over the years, I feel this works the best.

For me, Wellbutrin does absolutely nothing for pain, and it doesn't cause me any kind of anxiety...

Hope you're able to tolerate it well this time!
