i (20F) been on 150mgXL wellbutrin for about 2 1/2 months now. i started taking it for adhd and depression because i was so fed up and overwhelmed with school and felt like i couldn’t focus for the life of me. about a year ago, i was on 25mg of zoloft, and it made me feel great. it was able to help me out of a bad spot, and it felt like a weight had been lifted off of me. i eventually ended up weening off of it because i didn’t want to be dependent on an antidepressant, but then wound up going on wellbutrin later on anyway. right off the bat on wellbutrin, i experienced a racing heartbeat, amplified anxiety, insomnia, and honestly even more social anxiety. i will say that i do feel like im able to focus on tasks longer, and my depressive symptoms have gotten better, however, not in a monumental way. my ex and i broke up about 4 weeks ago, and since then my nervous system has been extremely dysregulated. i’ve noticed that now, i have barely any appetite, and no real appeal for food. i’m also on a 2.5 mg dose of tirzepatide, but before the breakup, this didn’t happen to me. i haven’t been able to sleep normally, usually feeling like im stuck in a “fight or flight” mode, despite having a long, tiring day. there have been so many nights where i toss and turn for hours because i can’t get my heart to stop racing and my body to calm down. i’ve always had anxiety, but it has been magnified immensely since taking wellbutrin. i’m thinking of stopping it, but just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and if anything else has worked for you?
