Answers:
You definitely need to give this medication more time!. Most antidepressants take 3- 4 weeks to fully get into your system!. If after 3-4 weeks you still don't feel a change or a difference then you may want to talk to your doctor because it is possible that the dosage may need to be adjusted slightly (such as increased)!. So don't give up on Wellbutrin yet give it a little more time but continue to monitor how you feel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take this med as well!. I didn't know what it was doing for me either, until I stopped taking it and began to have some emotional upheavals that felt very familiar!. I was off it for three days and my family knew!. I have an emotional mood disorder, this medicine totally put a stop to the roller coaster, only I didn't even know I was on one until I experienced life without the roller coaster, then I knew exactly what it was doing!. Bye bye severe mood swings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you were taking for depression, the all anti depresants including Wellbutrin work by increasing your brain chemical levels like serotonin, epinephrine, dopamine and improve the symptoms of depression since these chemicals are low in depressed people!. To achieve the level to feel improvement will take from 2-4 weeks!.
Just hang in there you will feel much better in a week or two!.
I f you are taking for quitting smoking I dont know the answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Must psychiatric medications take at least 3-4 weeks to really tell a difference!. Then even with that time lapse ofter times the medication need to be adjusted!. You don't say what the Wellbutrin is for and what dosage you take so it's hard to give much more info!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

some may respond in several days, but typically 4-6 weeks,

make sure you take during am, don't take it at night

if you are @ 37!.5mg, may go to 75mg, then to 150mg eventually, but that will depend on you doctor, be patientWww@Answer-Health@Com

Give it about a month, you will feel either better or not to well!. If it makes you feel worse, tell your Dr, he can give you something else!. Not all antidepressants work the same on everyone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it depends on the person taking it!. Sometimes it can take a month to a month and a half before it kicks in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't understand losers who feel as though they need medication, get a hair cut, have a shower, buy a shirt and get a real job!Www@Answer-Health@Com
