Question about Wellbutrin side effect

[Ahappymel]

Hello,

I just started Wellbutrin last Friday. I've felt kind of hazy the last few days. I notice it within an hour of taking my dose but it lasts the whole day. I feel just a few steps behind mentally. My head finally feels clear in the few hours before my next dose is due.
Is this a side effect that will go away eventually? When? Or it is just how it feels to be on an antidepressant?

Thanks!

I never had this side effect with all the different anti-depressants that I tried. In fact, my body liked Wellbutrin so well that I had no side effects whatsoever. Though you would think that anti-depressants are suppose to help you think more clearly rather than making you foggy. At the same time, it's still too early to say. Maybe give it another few days?

Well, the good news is that before I was foggy, unmotivated and depressed.
Now I feel calmer...but hazy. I think that's an improvement.
I would love to hear that maybe the haziness will go away in a bit...

Wellbutrin was good to me, but I do remember it taking a week or two to settle down. I think the haziness will go away soon.

Hello again,
It's actually already gotten much better.
Another question. I've been taking my dose at nighttime because I didn't want it to effect me in the daytime when I have to be at work out of the home/driving kids to school and such.
Now that the haziness has passed for the most part, I would like to start taking it in the morning because I've had some weird effects on my sleep.
Mainly waking frequently due to very active and bizarre dreams.
Has anyone switched their dosage time before? Did you notice a difference?

Ugh

I switched to daytime and feel AWFUL!!!!!


My head feels like a hot air balloon (incredible pressure) that is about to pop.
Even my eyes feel "bulgy".
My upper chest feels tight. Awful.
I went to CVS and checked my BP...130/80 which is high for me. It's usually 110/70, even a bit lower. I'm an athletic person.
I hate this. I only want to feel better. This is horrible, definitely not better!
I think I'm quitting this drug today. I can't function feeling like this.
