I came to this site inthe middle of something absolutely crazy going on in my body. It lasted 24 hrs. I feel better noe and I will take all your replies without insult but I do take the blame for my actions. I do have many severe issues, ones that had gone on for years without any help at all. i have seen a psychiatrist and psychologist for years now and have been on these meds that I tapered off myself. in my Dr.'s defense, he didn't start me off at a high dose of topomax years ago, he did start me off at I think 100. It was not only prescribed as a anti-convulsant but for migraines that I received no relief from with any other meds. I will take all your scoldings because this is my fault but all I was asking was, is this a normal side effect from wellbutrinSR? That is all I take. I am not a pill popper. That is why I tapered from all the others and why i will not take more than what is prescribed of xanax. i do not have addictive behavior...smoking, drinking, but do have a tendency like many of us with mental health issues not to make the wisest issues. I think the biggest mistake i made was taking the 1 dose of topomax , but i didn't think it would get into my system that fast. I know that in those 4 days i was on wellbutrin, it was the first time I had more energy and and was not as depressed.I called my Dr. and made an appt for monday. For the weight issues, this is something very personal to me and something i'm not going to make too many frinds on this board for but i'm sorry . If i told you my height and weight, you will all be very disturbed...yes i 'm sure I have an eating disorder or "preoccupation with body image". i'm not a Paris hilton but I am what others consider in shape and i do workout with a gym in my home, mine is more of a concern of getting someplace i don't want to be and me not being happy where i am. Not normal, or healthy, i know but at least i have the balls to admit it. I also have health issues I worry about on a daily basis. I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia and ulcerative colitis.I'm sure I have painted an ugly picture of myself as an irresponsible pill popper but I am not. It has disturbed me more of some of the posts I have read of the drinking and smoking, drug use, painkillers, high doses of xanax etc that others are guilty of! I have never "tried" any street drug or smoked a single cigarette. I may have a drink on a holiday, and I suffer through my daily pains of life instead of taking my prescribed painkillers! No one walks in my shoes and knows my lifestyle. I'm sure I have painted an ugly picture but I bet you would be surprised if you knew my educational background, professional life, etc. You just never know! Am I defending my DR.... I don't know, it's just he scrathes his head alot when i'm there, wondering why something isn't working. I haven't worked up the nerve to tell him yet . It's not 100% his fault. I'm seen him for years and all the drugs weren't thrown at me, I've had many different ones, ones I've actually tried, regimens i've done, increasing doses stc. it hasn't been until the last couple of years that this has happened to me. i guess i should have titled my post Wellbutrin side effects??? either way I would have called my Dr. I have tons of family support and I do get to a point when I know i have to be honest with myself. I appreciate your replies, with the exception of the disgrutled person who posted right after me that seems to have some philisophical issues of their own but if you would have really read my post I was looking for a quick answer on the side effects of wellbutrin because that what was what was happening to me at that time. (it was 3 AM) I was in the middle of a panic attack there is no withdrawl because I haven't been on any other meds for over a year. I should have said I'm on Wellbutrin and Xanax and took one dose of Topomax.
