I am 21 years old. My doctor just started me on Wellbutrin SR 150 mg for a depression/dysthymia/ADD kind of thing. My problem is very much enery-depletion related and somehow intermixed with possible physical presence of chronic epstein barr virus, which only complicates matters that much worse in a diagnosis. Anyways, now that you know some important background information, the doctor said it is not seem to be the exact form-fit of ADD and seemed to be more depression oriented and said wellbutrin will help with energy, focus and get me back in my life again. I knew a lot about the medicine before that after taking a psycho-pharmaceutical course last semester in college. But yesterday, the 3rd day of taking the 1x a day 150 mg dose I had rapid heart beat and when I was in a store I suffered a severe kind of brain fog, got real disoriented and mad at the smallest things; I almost felt out of my mind, but then after 30 minutes it went away. I am afraid that this will get worse with time and therefore didn't take it today, but I feel it might go away seeing that this is the very first anti-depressant I have ever taken. Does anyone have any information regarding side effects and how long it takes for wellbutrin (generic form:budeprion) to stabilize in a new user?
