I am on my third week of Wellbutrin XL (150 mg). The initial side effects like lightheadedness and dizziness have mostly worn on (with the exception of a few of what I think may be brain zaps)? I just don’t know if I really notice much so far other than being slightly more irritable and maybe even more anxious?
Maybe my focus is better, but I’m not really sure. Overall, my main issue was high cortisol and having trouble sleeping. I’m not sure a medication that increases heart-rate is really even that suitable for me. I get depressed, but by and large I feel like the issue is PCOS related as my depressive episodes happen after periods. Other than that, my daily issue is really anxiety and this medication feels a little… counterproductive? I just really want others’ input to see if they were in a similar situation or saw better results being on it longer, I guess. I want to give it a fair shot, but I keep feeling like it may be a waste of time and I’m not really interested in other SSRI’s (already tried Zoloft and lexapro).
