"i went on this drug with the promise of a reduced risk of weight gain, something i experienced a lot of with my previous drug, lexapro. i was put on wellbutrin xl 150mg once a day and the first two weeks were miserable. i attribute it to not only the adaption of the new drug but also the withdrawal of lexapro. the first two weeks of wellbutrin i was extremely nausea and couldn&#039;t eat much more than a few bananas and some juice a day. i was also exhausted and would sleep for hours after classes and go to bed early as well. now that i&#039;ve been on it for 8 weeks i&#039;m quitting cold turkey as it has increased depression and suicidal thoughts and i feel worse than before."
