I was on it for about 10 months before trying 300 mg. All I can think of is that since it is a generic version that could have something to do with it. My insurance will not cover the brand name if a...
OK, I am having really nasty side effects from the 300 mg. Within 48 hours of increasing the dosage from 150 to 300 I've had awful nausea, really, really bad stomach pain and dizziness so awful I can...
Hi, I was on generic Wellbutrin XL (Budeprion) at 150 mg and didn't have too many side effects - some sleeplessness and headaches at first. No weight changes. Dr. increased my dosage to 300 mg (today...
I know this isn't a serious topic like some people are dealing with, but I really do have a question about a potential side effect of recently going from 150 mg Wellbutrin XL to 300 about 5 days ago....
Shawn, I used to be able to go every day, way back when. In the past 13 years since I've been diagnosed with IBS-C, it has been all over the place - I can have one every day for a week and then the...
I have been drinking MIralax 2x per day for two days now, and I am so constipated I have pain, terrible bloating and some nausea but still can't go. How long does it take for this stuff to kick in? I...
So everything was somewhat manageable until christmas. Ever since then I cannot have a BM for days on end. I get sick and bloated if I miss ONE day, let alone several. If I can get anything to come...
I kind of overdid it and ate too much sugar-free cherry licorice. I had awful diarrhea on Monday and since then just very sharp, painful trapped gas and awful constipation. Is this due to the...
OK, this has happened before but it's been awhile. One thing I can say about my issues is that there is never a clear pattern and it's always a surprise when something different does happen. That...
Nope. Not at all. If I can't "go" every day then I feel so sick and bloated and the pain is so bad. I know it is because of my PFD but if this really does take a long time for it to work, I need to...
Yes, I had the sitz marker test. I was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction and went through all the tests, outpatient therapy with Mayo and have my home monitor to use. I have been doing this for...
Sometimes I feel sooo constipated and miserable. The pain is awful, all day long. But yet if I do an enema, nothing comes out. Why does my gut spasm and feel like it's full? Also, if you do an enema...
I have been taking Wellbutrin for about 2 months and lately have been getting blue bruises on my hips after I have been doing stretches on the floor (carpeting). Any idea if bruising is a side effect?...
I started mixing some flaxseed meal in with my yogurt and eer since I have had awful intestinal cramping, bloating, nausea and suddenly got constipated - just when things were finally working as they...
I run 40 miles per week, use the elliptical and lift weights a couple times a week and walk my dog every evening for 3-4 miles so yes, I'd say I get enough exercise. I have been supplementing my...
Yes, both. Sitz marker test normal. I do have PFD but I've been through therapy for it and have a biofeedback monitor that I use at home but I'll still get terrible problems with constipation (very...
I guess because I am constipated all the time - for the past 13 years - and nothing really helps. I've tried prescription meds, I take stool softeners, miralax, citrucel, water, exercise. I've had...
Kind of a gross question, but which type of enema is supposed to work better? I don't like the bloating I get after a saline enema, but if I do tap water enemas it almost seems to make the...
Normally I am always warm and my husband is the one who is cold so this is a switch....
Anyone on Wellbutrin and feel cold ALL THE TIME? I mean like even my fingers are cold to the touch and I am freezing when no one else is. I had this happen when I was on Prozac at one time too....
They also said I have pelvic floor dysfunction. I went through outpatiend therapy for it a while back and bought a home monitor to do therapy at home. It is a long slow process and who knows when...
Yes and Yes....
Not much. It only works about 25% of the time and I get shortness of breath with it all of the time....
Has anyone gained weight while on amitiza? I know it isn't stated as a side effect but I am starting to wonder if it could be....
I am also wondering about side effects when first starting it - I 've been on Prozac and Paxil in the past and got very foggy-headed, extremely tired and sick to my stomach for weeks with those. I...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif have been struggling with depression in the winter (I live in MN), plus several years' worth of binge eating and compulsive shopping. I go to a therapist and she...
Trying to decide if I should be taking Celexa, Lexapro, Prozac or what for depression and anxiety. I do not want to gain weight. I had been on Paxil at one time (dr. told me it didn't cause weight...
Bean 3971, What you described happens to be almost identical to what I end up with if I eat sugar. I can get away with eating a bit of it, but a small amount with me usually ends up being a lot so I...
I have predominantly IBS-C. Some days I can actually "go" - and very well - and the next day NOTHING happens. I don't even have the urge to go even though I feel so constipated and miserable I can...
I have severe IBS-C and even though I am taking Amitiza, sometimes it doesn't work or if I overdo it on sugar (I seem to have a sugar intolerance, but also am blockheaded about caving in to it). I...
I've had IBS-C for 12 years. I was on Zelnorm until they pulled it off the market, and for the past 8 months have been on Amitiza. I'd say it works about[b] 50% of the time. Looking back I feel like...
Hi Karen, Just wondering, did you mean that you are taking Adderall to lose weight only? I suppose that would be off label just like topamax would be. I am just getting so frustrated with the...
Help! I've been on Topamax and according to the warnings it says it "may" cause constipation. I have IBS with severe constipation; I've had it for 12 years. It's a constant battle. What's the word on...
I was put on Topamax about[b] a year ago in order to lose the weight I'd gained while on Prozac. I lost it, although I'm not entirely sure it was due to the Topamax. I lost 5 lb right away but the...
So what is the half life of Prozac? How long til it's out of my system?...
So is the liver supposed to go back to doing its normal thing once you go off the antidepressants? I've been off mine for 7 weeks now....
Hi, I've been off of Prozac for 6 weeks now and in the past couple of days I've been experiencing what I think are withdrawal symptoms. Strange that it would take this long. I'm bloated, have to go...
I lost 10 pounds within a few weeks of stopping Paxil last year. Now I'd been on Prozac for 8 months and within the past two months gained 10 pounds right back. Nothing fits and I'm frustrated. I...
I am still so frustrated. I am back to 125 today. I am down to 4 pairs of pants that still fit. And this is after working out 2 x per day - vigorously too. How long will it take for this...
I weighed myself again...125...up 10 pounds. None, and I mean none, of my pants fit. I am so upset. I work out twice a day. I was hoping that once I stopped the Prozac the weight would go away but no...
Hi, Wondering if anyone else on Prozac noticed a change in vision while they were on it...my vision got blurrier. I just quit Prozac so I hope it will get better again, or is it permanent?...
User101, I read your response and strangely enough, it gives me a bit of hope. I gained 8 pounds on Paxil last year. I quit cold turkey (bad idea, that stuff is nasty) but I lost the weight within a...
Hi everyone, I was reading everyone's responses and I seem to have gained weight from Prozac. Has anyone else heard of that? My weight was fine and suddenly in the last couple of months it went up. I...
My doctor said I didn't need to taper off of Prozac so I didn't. I was at 80 mg/day. I just want to feel normal again and not like a big fat whale!!...
Hi, When you go off of Prozac, is it common to have that "motion-sickness" and bloated feeling? I felt like that when I first when on it....
Arbor, Just out of curiosity...are you on different meds now or do you not take any anymore?...
So what do those andidepressants really do to your system? Do they screw around with your metabolism?...
