"started wellbutrin xl at 150 mg once a day to treat depression and anxiety, although was more concerned about depression. the first week i was on it i was absolutely miserable. i did not sleep or eat at all and was crying constantly and i think it definitely worsened my depression. however, i called my doctor and had my dose lowered to 75 mg and not extended release and i immediately felt better. i have been on that dosage for about 6 months now and i feel amazing. i am able to control my emotions so much better and i rarely have meltdowns ( i used to have a complete meltdown anytime anything negative happened to me). i definitely plan on staying on wellbutrin. would just recommend you make sure you are on the right dose"
